This article explains the different condition types available in pay code rules within an agreement, what each condition does, and when you can use it based on the pay code rule type.
⚠ Important:
To use Conditional Variable conditions, you must configure the conditional variables and allowed values within the pay agreement first.
You can only use the Schedule condition if Compare to Job Schedule is enabled for the agreement.
