Select Earnings and Deductions for Total Remuneration Packages

Before You Begin: Total Remuneration Package is a limited availability feature for the Australian market in Dayforce Release 2025.1.0. This functionality is only for evaluation purposes and is accessible by invitation only. Contact your Dayforce support representative if you’re interested in enabling Total Remuneration Package in this release.

The Earnings and Deductions Eligibility screen gives you the ability to select which relevant and approved earnings and deductions are included in total remuneration package calculations. Any elections you select are used by the TRP calculator (if they apply to the employee) when you calculate an employee's remuneration package.

The available earnings and deductions in the Earnings and Deductions Eligibility feature are populated from the full list of elections in Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions. See Overview of Adding Deduction and Earning Elections in the Payroll Administrator Guide.
