Daily Differential

Daily Differential work rules are configurable with a threshold and two factors, so single-time and double-time earnings for a holiday can be paid. 

The Daily Differential work rule type includes the following work rules:

Primary Factor

If hours worked are equal to or greater than the minimum required hours and fewer than the secondary factor threshold, the primary factor is applied to the Earnings calculation.
