Employee Field Change Qualifier

The Employee Field Change Qualifier evaluates if there are updates to certain fields in an employee’s profile in People to determine rule qualification. For example, you can configure the qualifier to trigger a pay rule if an employee’s average daily hours or normal weekly hours change within a configurable period.
