When to Use This Form

When HR wants to create a salary template for a particular group of employees.
When earnings or deduction components need to be standardized before the payroll process runs.
When an old structure needs correcting because of a salary policy change.

Before You Start

Make sure the list of salary components is available, including fixed components, allowances, deductions, and other components the company uses.
Decide the order of components and their calculation rules before saving the structure, so payroll does not need many manual corrections.

Workflow

Open People & Payroll / People Masters / Salary Structure List.
Enter the structure code using a pattern the payroll team can easily recognize.
Add the salary component details one by one according to company rules.
Re-check the order, component type, and calculation rule on every detail line.
Save the data once the structure is ready for the payroll process.

Key Fields

Field	Explanation for Users	Status
Code `id`	Code is the identifier of the salary structure. Use a short, recognizable name, for example for monthly staff, daily workers, or a particular position group.	Required
Salary Structure Details `salarystructuredetail`	Salary Structure Details contains the list of components that make up the payroll, such as basic salary, allowances, overtime, or deductions.	Required
Last Modified `updatetimestamp`	Last Modified is audit information filled in automatically by the application.	Optional

Details and Relations

Salary Structure Details needs to be checked line by line because every component can affect the salary calculation result.

What Happens After Saving

An active structure can be used as the reference when calculating employee salaries.
Component changes affect subsequent payroll calculations that use that structure.
If the code or details are incomplete, the application rejects the save and shows a validation message.

Common Problems

Structure cannot be saved: check the code and make sure the salary component details have been filled in.
Component does not appear in the details: re-check the salary component master data and user access rights.
Payroll result is wrong: trace again the components included in the structure, especially deductions and allowances whose values changed.
