Apply **Staff Incentives** to a staff members profile 2. Increase the staff member's hourly **Teaching Wage** With the defined **Metric value** for a specified data point (**Metric**). Metric Rules let you define achievement thresholds for your staff — such as reaching a certain number of teaching hours or attaining a certification level — and then track and approve when those milestones are met. ### How Metric Rules Work 1. Navigate to Staff Management → Metric Rules. 2. Click "Calc. metric rules" to run the calculation engine against current data. This button is always available regardless of whether any rows are selected. 3. After calculation, staff who meet rule thresholds will appear with a Pending status. 4. Select one or more Pending rows. 5. Click Approve metric rules to approve, or Reject metric rules to deny. Approved rules will show the effective date and your name as the approver. A status banner at the top of the page shows when metric rules were last calculated, so you can tell if the data is current. {% hint style="info" %} The Approve and Reject buttons are only active when you’ve selected rows that are in Pending status. A single staff member can have multiple metric rule rows if they qualify for more than one rule.
{% endhint %} ## Examples 1\. Apply **Staff Incentives** to a staff members profile

2. Increase the staff member's **Teaching Wage**
