You can use rule sets and rules to automate the calculations of different employee pay conditions. For example, rule sets can be used to apply the correct overtime modifiers when an employee works past a certain number of hours; set shift conditions to trigger at the right hour, and so on.
You will need to create a rule set first before adding rules to it. Rule sets work by containing rules within them. These rules work by using the When and Then fields to specify what happens when your employees meet the defined conditions.
You can also change any rule set and the rules it has if this information changes. You can turn off a rule if it no longer needs to be used, or delete the rule or rule set if it is not needed anymore.
