Grant Earned Amount Qualifier

The Grant Earned Amount Qualifier is used to qualify or disqualify employees for entitlements based on their grant amount for the entitlement’s specified balance. The qualifier can be configured to check that the granted amount is either greater than or equal to, or less than a specified amount.

Grant Earned Amount Qualifier settings
Setting Description
Earned amount greater or equal to Type the number of units an employee’s grant amount must be greater than or equal to.
Earned amount less than Type the number of units an employee’s grant amount must be less than.
Disqualify Select this checkbox to configure the qualifier to disqualify employees that meet the limits defined with the Earned amount greater or equal to and Earned amount less than settings.
Conversion formula

This setting converts the units in the qualifier’s settings into the associated balance units, if they are different, in the form of an arithmetic expression.

For example, if the rule is configured to check that employees have a grant amount of more than five days, but the balance is measured in hours, you need to configure a formula that converts the unit of days to the equivalent in hours. If your organization considers a day to be eight hours, the following conversion formula performs the conversion: {g} * 8

Dayforce substitutes the token {g} with the values specified in the rule settings.

See Entitlements Conversion Formula Library.

Continuing the example, employees must have a grant amount of more than 40 hours to qualify.

The conversion formula can be more employee-specific by using variables within the formula: 

  • {EMP_DAILY_HR} uses the value from the Average Daily Hours field on each employee’s record, as configured in People.
  • {EMP_WEEKLY_HR} uses the value from the Normal Weekly Hours field on each employee’s record, as configured in People.
