Tip: If you need to define a price rule involving more than 1 than one factor, such as $5 extra for a Weekend and an additional $5 on a holiday, after you add the first "If," click "Add Another If," as many times as needed, then add the price for the complete rule. See Adding a Staff Pay Rule to see how to add various combinations of staff pay for client types, public holidays, at weekend, on weekdays and other times.

Note: Each "If" can only be used once, so for example "Staff Type" can only be used once in a condition, you need to "Add New Rule" to create a price rule for another Staff Type.
