Pastel Partner Payroll’s Salary Structuring Module offers you amazing functionality to calculate individual employees’ remuneration packages. It is like having a Salary Structuring Assistant! This module simplifies the complicated task of structuring a Total Cost To Company remuneration package, according to the employee’s letter of appointment. By simply entering the total package value and various package components, Pastel Payroll will calculate the value of the remaining Cash Component and update the employee’s payslip with the structure you define.
