This qualifier compares an employee’s two possible rates and triggers the associated rule when the qualifier’s conditions are met to pay the appropriate rate. Note the following when configuring this qualifier:
- The average rate option within this qualifier is calculated for the week, not the day.
- When this qualifier is configured with the FLSA Overtime Rule, the average rate option within the qualifier looks at the original rate, not the calculated rate.
- This qualifier does its own calculation for the average rate for the week using the original rate. See Wage Qualifier Example.
