When setting up a compensation event, you can add custom Variable pay and Actual payments components for managers to review or change in the worksheet.

To create a new component, add it to the relevant list in People's data fields:

  1. Go to Settings > People's data fields.
  2. Locate Variable pay type or Payment type, depending on the component you want to create.
  3. Edit and add the new component to the relevant list.
  4. Return to the compensation event setup and select the new component to be reviewed in the event.

Custom fields can't be added directly as components to a compensation event. If the component you need isn't available, create it under Variable pay or Payment type using the process above.
