Compare sets group pay code rules within a pay agreement so the system can compare their calculated results and base payment on either the lowest or highest value in that group. Once configured on a pay agreement, compare sets can be assigned to individual pay code rules so that only rules in the same group are compared against each other.
Configure Compare Sets in a Pay Agreement
Open the relevant pay agreement in the Pay Agreement Entry screen.
Under the Pay Agreement section, click the Compare Sets tab.
The Compare Sets pane opens on the right-hand side of the screen.Near the top of the Compare Sets pane, click Add.
In the Set Name column of the blank row, enter a name for the compare set.
In the Priority Order column of the blank row, enter the priority sequence number for the compare set.
This priority determines which compare set is applied if multiple compare sets return the same result. For example, if compare set A has priority 0 and compare set B has priority 1, compare set A is applied when both sets return the same result.When you are ready to save the new compare set, click Save.
The compare set is saved, the Compare Sets pane closes, and a confirmation message confirms that the compare set has been saved.To delete a compare set that is not used and is no longer required, reopen the Compare Sets pane, then click the delete button next to the relevant compare set.
You cannot delete a compare set if it has already been selected on a pay code rule.
To rename an existing compare set, reopen the Compare Sets pane, update the value in the Set Name column for the relevant compare set, then click Save.
You can change the name of any existing compare set at any time.
How to Assign a Compare Set to a Pay Code Rule
Open the relevant pay agreement, then go to the Pay Code Rule Entry screen.
Locate the pay code rule you want to assign to a compare set, then open it for editing.
In the Compare Set field, select the required compare set from the list.
This assigns the pay code rule to that compare set group so its result can be compared with other pay code rules in the same group.Complete any remaining configuration for the pay code rule, then click Save.
The pay code rule is saved with the selected compare set applied.
