In Dayforce, the pay class is a part of the employee profile that categorizes employees into groups with specific payroll rules and policies. You must map the different pay classes into the Full Time and Part Time categories. These categories have implications regarding how Activate configures Dayforce and assigns employees to various attributes.
The pay classes populated in the Employee file show on this page. Activate automatically assigns the uploaded pay classes to the types if the pay classes provided are commonly named.
You can drag the items to different categories, as needed. Items that aren’t assigned to a category show in the Uncategorized category. You can filter the Uncategorized category to search for additional categories and map them accordingly.
