Use this form to set up pay agreement lines for the selected pay agreement.

You can add limitations to a pay agreement line, meaning that the pay for that line is generated only under special circumstances, for example, if a worker has worked on a specific operation or project or a worker is connected to a specific profile.

Pay agreement lines must be set up for each weekday.

The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in this form.
