The following table lists the fields that are included in the header row of the export file generated by clicking Export > Pay Grades in the Pay Grades tab of Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments. The order of the fields is the same as in the file. The file doesn't specify whether a field is required or optional, but this is indicated in the table.
| Field | Additional Instructions |
|---|---|
| Name | Required |
| Description | Optional |
| Reference Code | Required |
| Pay Type Group | Required. Hourly or Salary |
| Restrict Out Of Grade | Optional |
| Rate - Effective From | Required when creating a new record. |
| Rate - Minimum | Optional |
| Rate - Control | Optional |
| Rate - Maximum | Optional |
When you export pay grades, the four rate fields are all blank. These fields aren’t used when you import existing pay grades but are needed when you import new grades. This is because all pay grade records need an equivalent pay grade rate record. Therefore, when you import a new pay grade, Dayforce also adds a pay grade rate record. Rate - Effective From is a required field for pay grade rate records.
