Employee XYZ is paid at rate1 in the day and rate2 at night in a manufacture environment;

or employee XYZ is paid at rate1 when he works as a driver and rate2 when he works as a cashier in a pizza store;

or employee XYZ is paid at rate1 when he works during lunch time and rate2 when he works during dinner time in a restaurant;

Step 1: Set up the new payment type
