What should the quantity of the pay rate be?

A simple rule: If the amount stays fixed from one period to the next: Quantity 1, if the amounts vary from one period to another, then quantity 0. For instance, salaries usually stay the same from one month to the next, so make the quantity 1. For overtime rates, those vary from one period to the next, so make the quantity 0.
