Canadian Provincial Starter Entitlements

Activate has a set of 28 templated Canadian provincial starter entitlements to streamline and simplify the configuration of these complex requirements.

An Unpaid - Tracking Only template is included. Use this template with a generated earning election that’s assigned to the employee to be paid a set percentage of vacation in each paycheck in the Payroll wizard in Dayforce.

The remaining templates offer currency-based (tracked in dollars) and time-based (tracked in hours) templates for each province. Use an Unpaid Vacation - Overflow template for a cascade when the dollars and time-based balances get out of alignment. For example, when configuring dollar-denominated and time-based balances and drawing both down at once, if an employee receives a raise, that employee might draw down the dollars balance faster than the time balance. To use all of the time balance, an unpaid overflow balance (for cascade only) is required.

Thus, for customers who need to track both dollar-denominated and time-based balances, add three entitlement templates for each province. For example in Alberta, add the Alberta (Dollars), the Alberta (Hours), and the Unpaid Vacation - Overflow entitlement templates in the policy.

Activate automatically installs 99% of the configuration. However, some user guide steps are required to finalize the configuration per the Required user guide Steps After Installation section (below).
