Apply Deductions Rule
Calculates specified deductions and applies them to employees' pay. For example, an instance of the Apply Deductions Rule can subtract a flat amount of $50 to cover a gym membership and calculate 2% of an employee's regular earnings and subtract it for long term disability insurance payments. How you configure the rule determines what deductions are applied. Additional information is available in Apply Deductions Rule.
Apply Earnings Rule
Applies earnings to employee pay. For generated earnings, the rule calculates the value first and adds it to the employee's gross pay. For time-driven earnings, the rule determines amounts by calculating each employee's payroll mappings, pay details, and time and attendance records.
For example, an Apply Earnings Rule can be used for vacation pay, a time-driven earning that is based on payroll mappings. The application determines how much time was entered as vacation and what the employee earns for that time, then adds that amount to the employee's gross pay. For an employee with 16 hours of vacation time, paid at $10 an hour, the application adds $160 to the employee's pay classified under the vacation earning definition. The rule's configuration determines what earnings are applied.
Apply Taxes Rule
Important: This rule should always be placed at the end of all the rules within a ruleset.
Applies the relevant taxes to employee pay to ensure that Dayforce calculates taxes taking into account all of the earnings and deductions that are being applied. The taxes that are applied are dependent on the earning codes of the earnings applied to the pay and where employees live and work.
Auto Pay Rule
Overrides the number of auto-pay hours paid to employees. Applying this rule is part of the configuration of the auto-pay functionality. See Auto Pay.
Canadian Employment Insurance Rate Rule
(Canada only)
Eligible rate group options are determined by the configuration in the Employment Insurance tab for Canadian legal entities in Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal Entity. Client organizations must have a letter from Service Canada outlining their eligibility for reduced EI rates before adding new rate groups. Once an employee qualifies for one rate group, the application does not acknowledge them in any further rate groups for which they might also qualify. See Canadian Employment Insurance Rate Rule.
Payroll FLSA Overtime Adjustment Rule
(US only)
Workers Comp Rule
Applies a Workers Compensation deduction to employees' pay. For example, you can configure a Workers Compensation deduction that respects the rates in an employee's state or province of residence, rather than their work state or province.
