| CompareFromRate | String | Rate string for left operand | BASE_RATE |
| CompareFromRatio | Double | Ratio to be applied to CompareFromRate (default is 1) | 2 |
| Operator | String | Operator for Comparison | < |

Example: Compare base rate to system-wide minimum wage
In this example, the condition compares the employee's base rate multiplied by 2 with the minimum wage that is specified in the MINIMUM_WAGE registry parameter.
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| CompareFromRate | BASE_RATE (10) |
| CompareFromRatio | 2 |
| Operator | <= |
| CompareToRate | MINIMUM_ WAGE (15) |
| CompareToRatio | 1 |
The condition is not satisfied because the base rate multiplied by 2 ($20) is not less than or equal to the system-wide minimum wage ($15).
Example: Compare base rate to state minimum wage
In this example, the condition compares the employee's base rate with the current minimum wage for the state of California.
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| CompareFromRate | BASE_RATE (9.95) |
| CompareFromRatio | 1 |
| Operator | < |
| CompareToRate | STATE_MIN_WAGE=CALIFORNIA (9.00) |
| CompareToRatio | 1 |
The condition is not satisfied because the base rate ($9.95) is not less than the minimum wage of California ($9.00).
