Hi to all,
can anybody guide me on the salary structure. I am not asking typical salary structure.
But I wanted to know about Fixed amount + variable amount.
What is fixed amount in salary and what is variable amount to be said?
Is variable amount is calculated on target achieved?
Incentive and variable amount is same thing or different?
I am looking for your support.
Thanks,

Hi Vandana
Which Industry??What categories you are referring to?
Many organisation follow different methodolgies
Fixed Component
This should have Basic HRA and other allowances and this is adjusted every year based on Market and Inflation.
Variable Component
This is paid based on performance Many follow different methods Some organisation pay a lumpsum every year based on rating
Some companies, mostly IT decide a variable pay every year and this amount is paid as monthly payment. Next year, this is withdrawn and they get an amount based on the rating
Some may not even get this payment
If you want nittigritties, then pl specify exact requirement

Dear Vandana
I wont dwell here on the base minimum salary that you should pay to your employees based on market conditions and inflation.
Now on the subject of Variable pay many methods are followed will give here a few methods
1. Lumsum
Very traditional method and was followed for very senior executives as Commission but now extended to all categories. Linked always with profit and based on the profit, decide the percentage. For example, your target of profit is say 1 crore and u achieve 75 lakhs, then the commission or bonus payable is only 75% of he agreed amount
Many organisations used to say that the executives are eligible for 100% of their basic as Profit sharing bonus or commission based on the appraisal Then they decide at the end of the year based on Profit he percentage to be paid In any case it wont exceed 100% of agreed amount This is very old conventional but still simple method
2. Lumpsum on appraisal
Organisations every year revise salaries based on market and inflation and here they can not differentiate between employees So they do this exercise every year But they also appraise employees every year and categorywise decide the lumpsum payabale for different rating Here is an example
Grade 1
Rating A Rs 10000 as lumpsum
Rating B Rs 7500 as lumpsum
Rating C Rs 5000 as lumpsum
Grade 2
Rating A Rs 75oo as lumpsum
Rating B Rs 4000 as lumpsum
Rating C Rs 2000 as lumpsum
It goes on This is only illustration and it goes in lakhs
3. Monthly Variable
Som orgnisations mostly IT Companies based on Rating decide the monthly variable amount payable for different levels and sometimes the rule is so flexible, they decide for the individual as well. This is being paid as Variable pay everymonth with the condition that this amount will be withdrawn at the end of the year. This is again like the lumsum but the financial burden is spread over a year And again a with the attrition so high in the Industry they would like to make the payment as long as the employee is in the organisation.
4 Incentives
Mostly Sales people are given this based on target
This is a big subject and this, I hope would have given you some idea.

Hi Guys!
Needed to understand two components of the salary namely LTA and medical reimbursements.
Could somebody throw some light as to how the LTA(which a part of the employee's salary but is shown as annual component) is paid in case if the employee leaves the organization say within three months.
-Are these components paid in the full & final settlement?
-Any bills required?
-The tax liability if any?
Its a little urgent
Warm Regards,

It is paid on prorata basis say an employee has worked for three months and resigned and his eligibility per year is 12000 rupess, then for three months he gets paid Rs 4000 as LTA on prorata basis.
LTA is not taxable twice in a block of four years Have a consulatation with ASccounts If you want more info on tax I can give with examples
