Payment rule settings

Last updated 1 day ago

This is a reference for every control in the driver payment rule editor, grouped by the drawer's own sections. For how to build a rule start to finish, see create a payment rule; for the tab it lives on, see manage driver pay.

Note

Fleet and this page are gated. Availability varies by organization — if you don't see it, reach out to Nash. Scoped users see rules read-only.

Client-side facts below (labels, options, defaults) describe what you see. What a priced rule actually pays out is settled by Nash when a delivery is completed, so treat pricing behavior as intent — the Reports tab shows the resulting totals.
