Define Actions for a Counter Rule

To define actions for a pay code counter rule, follow the procedure below.

1.	If not already open, open the relevant rule in the Pay Code Rule Entry pane of the Edit Pay Agreement screen and click the Actions tab. The Actions* tab* is activated.
2.	Click Add. The Add Action Item Entry pane displays on the right of the screen within the Actions tab.
3.	In the Pay Code column, select the pay against which the action is to allocate units.
4.	In the Quantity Per Day, Quantity Per Week or Quantity Per Timesheet column, type the quantity to be paid per day, week or timesheet respectively. Note that which of the three abovementioned fields is displayed depends on the option selected in the counter condition of the rule.
5.	Repeat steps 2-4 if you want to add more actions for the rule.
6.	At the header of the record, click OK. A confirmation message opens, indicating the pay agreement has been saved successfully.

1.	Within the Limits section, click Add. A new row appears within the Limits grouping.
2.	In the Quantity field, type the quantity that defines the limit. For example, a value of 10 will indicate a minimum or maximum limit of ten units.
3.	In the Limit Type field, select Minimum if the action limit is to be a minimum limit or select Maximum if the action limit is to be a maximum limit.
4.	In the Frequency field, select one of the following options depending on the frequency with which the action limit is to apply: Per Day – limit will be applied to each day on a timesheet (available only if the counter condition defined within the rule is one of Per Week) Per Week – limit will be applied to each week on a timesheet Per Timesheet – limit will apply to an entire timesheet.
5.	In the Limit Based On column, select Pay Code Group and then select the relevant pay code group based on which the action will be limited, as shown in the example below. Alternatively, leave the default option of Default To Pay Code selected if the action is to be limited based only on the pay code to which the action applies.
6.	At the header of the record, click OK. A confirmation message opens, indicating the agreement has been saved successfully.
