How do I compare rate definitions to ensure the highest rate is paid?

Create a rate definition for your salary rate. Create a rate definition for your special pay rate, and then navigate to the Returned Rate Details section.

From the Minimum Rate Rule list, select Rate Definition. Then, from the Minimum Value list, select the salary rate that you created.

You can use the Minimum Rate Rule option in the Returned Rate Details section in scenarios where your company needs to pay an employee either the salary rate or the special pay rate, whichever is greater.
