    Basic salary

    Basic salary is the fixed, regular pay employees receive before overtime, bonuses, or deductions. It forms the foundation of gross and net salary, guiding payroll, compliance, and compensation strategy. HR teams use it to set fair pay ranges, stay competitive, and retain top talent effectively.
