  Merit pay is a type of compensation system used by organizations to reward employees for their performance. It is based on the idea that employees should be rewarded for their efforts and achievements, rather than simply receiving a fixed salary. Merit pay is typically given in the form of a bonus or salary increase. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, merit pay is managed through the Compensation Management component. This component allows organizations to set up and manage merit pay plans, including setting criteria for awarding merit pay, tracking employee performance, and calculating merit pay awards. It also provides tools for managing employee compensation data and reporting on merit pay awards. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a merit pay plan in SAP, it is important to ensure that the criteria used to award merit pay are fair and objective. This will help ensure that employees are rewarded based on their performance, rather than any other factors. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the criteria used are clearly communicated to employees so that they understand how their performance will be evaluated.
