Policies and Eligibility conditions

Policies and Eligibility conditions

Policy and Eligibility conditions are sometimes used interchangeably in EazeWork. This feature is used to provide the option of creating a group of employees who will be mapped to different policy or different set of data based on a criteria. These policies / eligibility conditions are based on parameters like Company, Department, Designation, Division, Employment Period, Employment Status, Employee Type, Gender, Level, Marital Status, Office Location, Work Location, Work Nature, Work Status. A parameter is available for creating a policy only when history tracking for it is enabled.
