Add Shift Qualifiers

You can use skill qualifiers to define the skill and skill level that employees must have to work certain shifts.

To add a skill qualifier to a shift in a template:

  1. In the Fixed Template Details panel, click the arrow () for the shift that you want to add a qualifier to.
  2. In the Skill Qualifiers panel that opens, click Add.
  3. In the Skill drop-down list, select the skill that's required to work the shift.
  4. (Optional) In the Skill Level drop-down list, select the skill level that's required to work the shift.
  5. (Optional) Select the Is Mandatory checkbox to configure the skill qualifier so that Dayforce validates that employees scheduled to work this shift have the necessary skill.
  6. Note: To fully configure Dayforce to validate that employees have the required skills for the shifts that they're scheduled to work, you must also configure the Shift Skill Rule in the applicable scheduling policy. See Shift Skill Rule.
  7. Click Save.
