Assign Jobs and Job Assignments to Competencies

You can assign competencies to jobs and job assignments in your organization in the Assign Jobs/Job Assignments subtab in the Competencies tab of Performance Setup > Competency Setup.

To assign a competency to a job or job assignment:

  1. Go to Performance Setup > Competency Setup.
  2. Click the Competencies tab.
  3. Select a competency.
  4. Click the Assign Jobs/Job Assignments tab.
  5. Select the checkbox for each job that you want to assign the competency to. When you select a job checkbox, all of the job assignments below it are selected by default and assigned to the competency by default. You can assign a competency to one or more job assignments under a job without selecting the job itself.
  6. As you select jobs and job assignments, Dayforce displays the number of assigned job assignments (not jobs) next to the Assign Jobs/Job Assignments tab label.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Note: The Assigned Competencies column displays any other competencies that are assigned to the job assignment.
