Configure Compensation Cycles

Note: Managers who were purged from Dayforce in the Data Management Center feature are identified by a user ID number rather than their name in compensation cycle screens. Replacing their name with an ID number ensures that information about budgets and allocations are preserved, while still purging the manager’s private information to address the data minimization requirements of the European Union's (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You can add and configure compensation cycles in the Compensation Setup > Compensation Cycles feature of Dayforce.

To add a compensation cycle, click Add in the toolstrip. Dayforce adds the cycle in the left side panel.

Each of these tabs is outlined in more detail in the following sections:
