Does your "Condition" span the two columns with the payment $param? e.g.

|             Condition              |
|-----------------+------------------|
|payment > $param | payment <= $param|
|-----------------+------------------|

Otherwise you are creating rules that check the following:-

when
Condition(payment > )
then
...

when
Condition(payment > 1000)
then
...

Whereas you really require:-

when
Condition(payment >0, payment <= 1000)
then
...

etc
