Balance Total Qualifier

The Balance Total Qualifier is used to trigger balance transfers in Dayforce when the total of a specified balance is over or under a certain value. This qualifier can be added to any pay rule that updates balances, such as overtime balances or flextime balances.

You can use this qualifier to set a balance limit and its direction and when it has been reached, the balance automatically qualifies for a transfer.

The direction in which the balance total is assessed to determine if it qualifies for a balance transfer. The options include the following:
