A counter condition controls when a counter pay code rule applies, based on the quantity allocated to a specific pay code or pay code type.
⚠ Important: You can only define counter conditions for counter pay code rules.
Define a Counter Condition
In the Edit Pay Agreement screen, go to the Pay Code Rule section, then click the Conditions tab.
Next to Counter Condition, click Add.
In the Frequency column, select how often the pay/bill code or pay/bill code type must be applied for the counter rule to be applicable.
For example, if you select Per Timesheet, a certain quantity must be allocated across the entire timesheet for the condition to apply.
In the Pay Code/Pay Code Type Selection column, choose whether the condition applies to a specific pay code or a pay code type:
Select Pay Code Type to apply the condition to all pay codes of a specific type.
Leave Pay Code selected to apply the condition to one specific pay code.
In the dropdown in the Pay Code/Pay Code Type Selection column, select the relevant pay code or pay code type (based on what you chose in the previous step).
In Comparison Type, select how the allocated quantity must match:
Equals: The quantity must equal the specified value exactly.
Less Than: The quantity must be less than the specified value.
Less Than Equals: The quantity must be less than or equal to the specified value.
Greater Than: The quantity must be greater than the specified value.
Greater Than Equals: The quantity must be greater than or equal to the specified value.
Between: The quantity must be between two specified values.
If you selected any comparison type other than Between, enter the value in Quantity.
This defines the quantity that must be allocated against the selected pay code/pay code type (per day, per week, or per timesheet) for the condition to apply.If you selected Between, enter the two values in Quantity From and Quantity To.
The counter condition is then defined.
