    2 Deductions Is a deductible component of employee income such as late deductions. If you want to add allowances as needed, click "Add Deduction".
    3 Benefit  Is a component that is borne by the company for employees but does not add to an employee take-home pay such as BPJS Employment and BPJS Health. If you want to add benefits according to your needs, click "Add Benefit".
  6. If you want to add a fixed number (Absolute) for formula purposes, click "Add Custom Rate". This number is used so that there is no need to change the entire formula, just by editing the nominal custom rate.
