Rate Mapping Rule

Rate Mapping Rule

The Rate Mapping Rule in the Payroll Mapping tab of Pay Setup > Pay Group is used to generate supplemental weekly rate information on employee earning statements using pay policy rules to calculate regular, tip, and minimum wage rates. Both the regular rate and effective tip rate are calculated on a weekly basis by summing eligible earnings and dividing by worked hours.

Before You Begin: This functionality is applicable for US employees only.

Dayforce displays these WFM-generated Regular Rate, Minimum Wage Rate, and Effective Tip Rate earnings in the Weekly Rate of Pay section of employee earnings statements in ESS and Payroll > Pay Run Management as well as to earning statements printed by Dayforce Back Office. This applies to normal earning statements only. The EmployeeRateSummary records are stamped with the PayExportId during the payroll commit process.

Note: Earnings must be mapped to a pay group.

Rate Mapping Rule Parameters

Pay Code

Drop-down list from which you select a pay code label to identify pay rate multipliers to the user's time such as overtime, tips, holidays, and other payroll calculations.

Rate Type

Drop-down list from which you select a rate type:

  • Double Time Rate
  • Minimum Wage
  • Overtime Rate
  • Regular Rate
  • Tip Rate

Note: Only one pay code can be assigned per rate type.

Example:

Some states such as Maryland require that earning statements display the regular FLSA rate and all applicable hourly rates worked by the employee. Maryland also requires that restaurant employers that include a tip credit in employee wages must display the effective weekly hourly tip rate for each pay period.

When you configure the Rate Mapping rule in an employee's payroll policy, the online earning statement includes a supplemental section called Weekly Rate of Pay, which displays the Regular OT Rate, Tip Rate, and Min Wage rates, in addition to the Regular Rate, as shown in the following example:

Weekly Rate of Pay section in the online earning statement when you configure the Rate Mapping rule in an employee's payroll policy.

You can use qualifiers in this rule as needed to apply to both online and back office statements. Rates will appear in the Weekly Rate of Pay section on online statements (or Other Payroll Information for the Dayforce Back Office statement), as shown in the following example:

Other Payroll Information section highlighting the weekly regular rates without the date ranges included.

WFM sends these rates to payroll based on the pay period business dates. If the pay group is based on time collection, then the application fetches those dates instead of using business dates.
