Payroll
Basic Salary
The core fixed component of pay, used as the base for several statutory calculations.
Basic salary is the fixed core of an employee's pay package, excluding allowances. It is significant because several statutory items — pension and NHF in particular — are calculated on basic (or on basic, housing and transport) rather than on gross.
