What are Variable compensation types on Dynamics 365 HR?
Variable compensation types is a way of defining different groups of variable compensation that the company would offer to the employees.
Some examples of variable compensation are
- Bonus – a promised amount to the employee based on the fixed compensation such as 10%, 20%, 30%
- Stock options – a variable compensation which offers the employee a number of company stocks based the employee and company performance. The stock options may have a vesting period before the employee is able to access/exchange them. (In short, vesting period is the time period the employee has to wait to be able to exchange the stock options for money😉)
