Worked Example: How to Add a Compensation Condition that applies to the Days of the Week
A pet sitting company pays its dog walkers $7.50 for a 20 minute dog walk Monday to Friday but pays $8.50 for the same service on a weekend.
In this example its useful to avoid creating a new service for a 20 minute dog walk on a weekend. This will clutter up your service list and make the system less easy to use. Instead we set up a compensation condition and apply it to the standard 20 minute dog walk service so that a higher rate is automatically calculated when the service is scheduled on a weekend.
ON DESKTOP:
Navigate to Admin > Services > Service Items > Compensation Conditions
STEP 1
-
Click the service item you wish to edit.
STEP 2
-
Click "Compensation Conditions" from the menu.
-
Then click "Add a New Condition".
STEP 3
-
Select "it is a weekend" in the left hand drop down menu
-
Type 8.50 in the panel labelled "Then compensation is"
-
Click "Add".
STEP 4
This has created a rule which you can now see on the Compensation Conditions list for this service item. This rule will automatically calculate compensation due of $8.50 for any 20 minute dog walk that you schedule on a Sunday.
This example where the compensation conditions are applied to days of the week apply to the following "If" statements:
-
If it is a public holiday - where you can set up any public holidays in your planner where you might change how you pay sitters for your services on those days
-
If it is a weekday - will apply to Monday to Friday inclusive
-
If it is a weekend - will apply to Saturdays and Sundays
-
If the day is - where you can uncheck any days of the week where you may pay more or less for your services on those days
