Configure the Adjust Base Rate Rule

By default, without the Adjust Base Rate rule in a base rate policy, Dayforce only updates employees' rates when they earn a new rate, rather than when a new rate became effective for their current level. With the Adjust Base Rate Rule in the necessary base rate policy, Dayforce applies new rates on the date they become effective. See Adjust Base Rate Rule.

This rule should be configured to run after the Update Base Rate Rule, and both rules should be configured with the same base rate set.

Before You Begin: This rule is designed to be used only with base rate sets that are configured with Set selected in the Rate Type drop-down list. See Configure the Tiered Base Rates.It shouldn't be used with base rate sets that are configured with either the Incremental or Multiplier rate type. For descriptions of this rule's settings, see Adjust Base Rate Rule.

To configure the Adjust Base Rate Rule:

  1. Go to Pay Setup > Base Rate Set.
  2. In the Base Rate Policy tab, select a base rate policy. A slide-out panel opens.
  3. In the Rules Configuration section, click the add icon (), then click Rule.
  4. Enter a name and, optionally, a description of the rule.
  5. Enter the rule's effective dates.
  6. In the Type drop-down list, click Adjust Base Rate Rule.
  7. Configure the rule's settings.
  8. Click Save.
