Added the Last Day of Month checkbox to the Date Qualifier in Pay Setup > Entitlements, in the Entitlements tab. Previously, you had to enter the last day of the month in the Day of Month field, which you had to update periodically for leap years. Now, when you select the new Last Day of Month checkbox, Dayforce automatically uses the last day of the selected month. When the checkbox is selected, it overrides the value in the Day of Month field, if entered.
