Other reward components include fixed pay (salary and additional cash allowances), retirement (pension-related pay like PF, gratuity), benefits and perks (vacation, medical, car, insurance etc.) and e-sops (mainly stock options or RSU). The variable pay and sales incentives range between 30-40% for sales executives. Sales incentive is not declared as variable pay as it is commission.
