A datatype used to represent target variable comp, typically paid on an annual basis.

Variable comp comes in two pay types, denoted by the `compType` property:

- **Amount** - a fixed monetary amount (for example, a $100,000 target commission)
- **Percent** - a percentage, usually of base salary (for example, a 10% bonus)
