Note: The experience levels that you enter in compensation worksheets aren’t currently tracked in employee profiles and don’t directly correspond with the years of experience an employee has in their job assignment.
Your compensation worksheet might be configured to include the Experience Level column. Depending on configuration, this column shows either a read-only field or a drop-down list from which you can select an experience level for each employee. If an employee has an experience level saved from a previous compensation cycle, it's populated in this field by default, but can still be updated as needed using the drop-down list (if available).
When the Experience Level drop-down list shows, it indicates that market data in the compensation cycle is mapped based on experience level. In this case, you must select an experience level for each employee to refresh the row and populate the appropriate values in the market percentile columns of the worksheet. For more information about viewing market data for employees, see Market Data in Compensation Worksheets.
The options shown in the Experience Level drop-down list are configured in Market Pricing > Experience Levels. When you expand the drop-down list for an employee, only the experience levels that apply to the country in which they work are shown. The experience level options shown for an employee who works in Ireland might be different from those shown for an employee who works in Canada.
To help you determine which level is appropriate, Dayforce shows the help icon (
) next to the Experience Level drop-down list for each employee. You can click this icon to open a tooltip with a description of each of the available experience levels.
After the worksheet is approved by the compensation administrator, the selected experience level is saved for each employee's primary work assignment. In future compensation cycles, this experience level populates automatically in the worksheets for each employee.
