You define eligibility for compensation cycles in the Eligibility tab of Compensation Setup > Compensation Cycles. In this tab, you can create one or more eligibility qualifier sets that use different criteria to qualify employees. See Eligibility.
The criteria in each of the qualifier sets work based on the “AND” operation. That is, employees must satisfy all of the criteria to qualify. If you have more than one qualifier set configured, each set runs individually based on the “OR” operation. That is, employees must satisfy the criteria for one set or another. They don’t have to satisfy the criteria of all of the sets at once.
For example, in the following screenshot, two criteria are selected for the qualifier set Active as of 12/31/2020:
- Active as of date = 21/31/2020
- Employment Statuses in Terminated.
These criteria work based on the AND operation. Dayforce retrieves all terminated employees who were active on December 31, 2020 when generating the organization. Both criteria must be satisfied.
In the left-side panel, the two qualifier sets are as follows:
- Active as of 12/31/2020 contains criteria Active as of date = 21/31/2020 and Employment Statuses in Terminated
- Default contains the criterion Employment Statuses in Active
These qualifier sets work based on the OR operation. All of the criteria in either of the eligibility sets must be satisfied.
