Order Earnings

This section describes how to configure the order in which earnings are applied within a single Apply Earnings Rule. Earnings can be ordered using the move up and move down arrow buttons in the Sequence Earnings dialog box in the Earnings tab of Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions.

This order is only used for the earnings applied within a single instance of the Apply Earnings Rule (which controls what earnings are applied to employees); all of the earnings in one instance of the rule are applied before the earnings in another instance of the rule added later in the payroll policy, regardless of the order defined in the Earnings tab Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions.

Payroll policies are configured later on in the Dayforce Payroll implementation process. See Payroll Policies.

The order of the earnings you define also controls the order in which the application sorts earnings on earning statements and payroll reports.

To define the order in which earnings are applied and displayed on statements and reports:

1. Click Sequence.
2. The application reorders the earnings so that they are displayed in the order in which they are applied, with the earning at the top of the list applied first.
2. Select the earning you want to reorder.
3. Click the move up and move down arrow buttons to reorder the earning.
4. Click OK.
