Add Employee-Level Target Bonuses

You might have employees who require a different target bonus (for example, if you negotiated a higher bonus based on individual performance). In these cases, you can override the job assignment-level target bonus for the affected employees.

To set a target bonus at the employee level:

1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Employment > Employment Settings.
2. In the Employment Status tab, in the Compensation and Hours section, Dayforce shows the Target Bonus Override (%) field, along with a read-only Default Target Bonus (%) field containing the employee’s job assignment-level bonus value (if defined) for your reference:
3. 
3. In the Target Bonus Override (%) field, enter the custom target bonus for the employee.
4. Click Save.

If the job assignment-level target bonus is updated, the read-only value is updated in the profile, but the employee will continue to receive the value entered in the Target Bonus Override (%) field. The new job assignment-level value will only be used if the override value is deleted.

You can also import employee-level target bonuses using the TargetBonusOverride token in the HR Import. See the HR Import Interface Specification document.
