Pay scale grouping for allowances is performed to add similar type of employees in a group and similar characteristics are applied on each group. This is used to determine: compensation structure as per grouping, payroll processing procedure, and the value of compensation for an employee.

While defining the payroll processing, grouping is the first step that is performed. Wage type can’t be defined till you define the pay scale grouping for allowances.

Pay scale grouping for allowances is defined based on few parameters −

  • Pay scale area
  • Pay scale type
  • Pay scale group
  • Pay scale level

Employee Subgrouping for Collective Agreement Processing

As an example, consider a company with offices in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. Now the employee location where he is located affects the compensation to a certain level. In this case, it is possible to assign the different cities to pay scale area and hence pay scale area becomes a key pay parameter to create pay scale grouping for allowances. In a similar way you can define other pay scale parameters depends on various factors.
