A named pay template: an ordered set of salary component lines that turns a person's CTC into earnings, deductions, employer contributions and reimbursements. A person is paid from a structure through a Resource Compensation record, which names the structure and the monthly CTC. The payroll run uses the person's compensation record with the latest Effective From, not the Salary Structure field on the resource. An employee with no compensation record naming a structure, or whose structure has no active lines, is counted as skipped. A structure has no company field, so it is shared across the tenant. Its Effective From, Pay Frequency and Is Active are descriptive: the run reads none of them, and deactivating or deleting a structure does not stop anyone being paid from it. Found in the Payroll app under Settings, Pay Structure.
