Added the ability to calculate the back pay for employees automatically in the next normal pay run if they were hired after the normal pay run. Previously, payroll administrators had to calculate the back pay manually and do the payment using retro pay or a quick entry in the next normal run. Now, you can set up Dayforce to calculate the back pay for a new hire employee in the next normal run automatically if that employee was not paid in the previous normal run. For example, if a company runs the monthly payroll for February and they have a new hire who started in January, you can use the auto pay rule proration setup to calculate the back pay automatically for January such as in the following scenario:

  • Employee was hired on 27 January 2024
  • January 2024 payroll has been committed on the 25th
  • The prorated salary for January 27 until 31 must be included in the February normal run.

With this update, added the following parameters to the lookback period in the Auto Pay Rule in Payroll Setup > Payroll Policies:

  • Mid Period proration drop-down list (required)

    • Business Days - 5 days a week
