Company Configuration: Total Compensation

The Employee Total Compensation report provides a summary of the comprehensive cost to employ a specific individual and the breakdown by each applicable payroll expense type. This is accessible for employees to view their own summary (Time and Pay > Total Compensation) and for managers, who have report access rights, to view (Wage & Tax > Reports).

The Employee Total Compensation report includes six sections by default — Salary and Wage, Variable, Health and Welfare, Retirement, Other Benefits, and Statutory Benefits. However, administrators can change the setup of the statement to exclude certain sections and edit the descriptions of the sections that are used.

Note: Once a configuration change is saved, the impact on your ExponentHR website is immediate.
