How to Define a Pay Code Rule

1.

If not already open, open a pay agreement in the Pay Agreement Entry screen.

2.

Scroll down to the Secondary Interpretation section and click the open button.

The Secondary Interpretation section of the screen expands as shown in the example below.

3.

Click the open button next to the relevant pay code type, depending on the type of pay code rule to be created (for example: Time Rules).

The section corresponding to the pay code type expands.

4.

Click Add.

The Pay Code Rule Entry pane opens on the right-hand side of the screen and the Conditions tab is active.

5.

In the Name field, type a name that identifies the pay code rule. The name must be unique within the agreement.

6.

Next to the Start Date field within the Validity Dates field grouping, click the calendar button and use the calendar control to select the date from which the pay code rule will be valid.

Note that this date must be within the validity period of the agreement itself.

7.

Next to the End Date field within the Validity Dates field grouping, click the calendar button and use the calendar control to select the date after which the pay code rule will no longer be valid.

Note that this date must be within the validity period of the agreement itself.

Skip this step if the agreement has an open-ended validity period and the pay code rule is to remain valid indefinitely.

8.

If the results of this pay code rule are to be compared to those of other pay code rules so that the highest or lowest applicable amount is paid, click Compare Results.

The Compare Results option is available only if the Compare Results flag is set on the agreement header. Skip this step if the results of this pay code rule will not be compared to those of other pay code rules.

9.

In the Compare Set field, select the compare variable that identifies the pay code rule group to which this pay code rule is to be assigned for the purposes of comparing the results of pay code rules.

The Compare Set field is available only if the Compare Results flag is set on the agreement header and the Compare Results option has been selected on the pay code rule itself.

Skip this step if the results of this pay code rule will not be compared to those of other pay code rules.

10.

Define the relevant conditions of the pay code rule as required.

11.

Define one or more actions and action limits for the pay code rule as required.

12.

Click Save.

A confirmation message opens, indicating the agreement has been saved successfully.
