In Market Pricing > Experience Levels, you define the experience levels that are used for employees in compensation worksheets. If you want to view market data based on these experience levels, you should ensure that they correspond with the experience levels used by your market data service provider.
To add an experience level:
- Go to Market Pricing > Experience Levels.
- Click Add.
- Do the following in each column:
- Sort Order: (Optional) Enter a number to define the sort order for the experience level in relation to the other levels in the list.
- Name: Enter a name for the experience level. This name is displayed in the Experience Level drop-down list in compensation worksheets.
- Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the experience level. This description is displayed in a tooltip when you click the help icon (
) next to the Experience Level drop-down list in compensation worksheets. This description helps managers determine which experience level is appropriate, so it is best practice to provide a useful description. - Country: (Optional) Click the field and select a country in the drop-down list. When a country is specified, the experience level is only displayed for employees if the physical location of their primary work assignment has the same country code.
- Active: By default, the checkbox in this field is selected and the experience level is active. You can clear the checkbox to set the experience level as inactive. Only experience levels that are marked as active are displayed for employees in your compensation worksheets.
- Reference Code: Enter a unique reference code for the experience level. Reference codes are used to export data from Dayforce to other applications.
- Note: Do not use special characters such as hyphens in reference codes.
- Click Save.
You can create a copy of an existing experience level by selecting it and then clicking Copy. You can then update the values in each field as needed, rather than creating a new level using the Add button. You can also delete experience levels that are no longer needed by selecting them in the list and clicking Delete.
Note: Once an experience level has been selected in a compensation cycle, it can no longer be deleted. However, you can deactivate it so that it can no longer be selected, by clearing the checkbox in the Active column.
