Pay conditions engine FAQs

A Pay Conditions Engine is a payroll software feature that automates setting up pay rates and managing employee benefits where the nature of work constantly changes. It enables organisations to define complex pay categories, such as variable pay, bonuses, incentives, or commissions. The rules engine is designed to streamline the payroll process, increase efficiency, and reduce errors from manual calculations.

A Pay Conditions Engine calculates employee pay based on various conditions set by the business. These settings can include employment type, shift conditions, meal breaks, hours worked, performance metrics, and other factors. The engine pulls data from various sources, such as HR systems and payroll software, to determine employee pay under unique scenarios.
