Rule sets

Overview

Within your organisation there could be a myriad of different employee payment rates, depending on the pay conditions assigned to your employees. Automating the calculations of these rates will reduce the management time spent on ensuring the correct application of overtime modifiers when an employee works past a certain number of hours, that set shift conditions trigger at the right hour and so on.

This feature allows you to create a new rule set and define the rules contained within by using the when and then fields to specify what happens when your employees meet the defined conditions. You can also edit any rule set and the rules contained if this information changes, disable a rule if it no longer needs applying or delete the data if it is no longer relevant.
