Important Comments

  1. When selecting % of Income Source in conjunction with a Source Type that does not refer to an amount e.g. Employment Date, specify the percentage as 100.
  2. A component that includes an income base in the pre-defined formula can only be used once. You can add another occurrence of the component with the same income base and specify a different payslip name. However, the income base cannot be changed without affecting the original component.
