Before You Begin: This section describes the Job Assignment in Salary Range and Performance Rating chart as it is shown for organizations that use salary ranges. For organizations that don’t define salary ranges for all job assignments, Dayforce only shows each employee’s current salary in this chart. The salary range (identified by the blue shaded line) isn’t shown.
This chart provides a visual representation of each employee’s salary range in relation to their performance rating. This view allows you to easily identify employees who need attention, for example, employees who are high performers and aren't paid enough, or low performers who are paid too much.
The chart lists the names of all employees in the worksheet along the left vertical axis of the chart, and then shows the salary range along the bottom horizontal axis.
The salary range for each employee’s job assignment is represented in the chart using a shaded blue block, and the mid-point of that range is indicated with a darker blue line in the middle of that block. The employee’s performance rating is represented in this chart using circles with the employee’s rating on it, and the employee’s actual salary job assignment is marked with a line extending from this circle.
If the circle is shown in blue, it indicates that the employee hasn’t been assigned a performance rating.
Note: If Dayforce shows a blue triangle instead of a blue circle, it indicates that the employee’s review cycle doesn’t use performance ratings.
If the circle is shown in yellow with an arrow next to it, it indicates that the employee requires attention because they’re either being paid too much or too little based on their performance rating and job assignment in the salary range (that is, above or below the mid-point).
For example, this chart can be used to identify situations where high performers are being paid below the mid-point of their salary range:
The arrow next to Barclay’s performance rating indicator points towards the mid-point of the salary range to indicate that you might need to increase his salary.
Dayforce identifies employees who are high performers by mapping each employee’s performance rating to High, Medium, or Low ratings in the system-defined Performance Rating Base Scale (in the Rating Scale feature). Any rating scales that are used in the selected review cycles are mapped to this three-point scale, and Dayforce identifies employees as high performers if their current rating is mapped to the High range in the scale.
You can hover the cursor over each employee’s performance rating indicator in the chart to show a tooltip with additional information.
If your compensation cycle uses more than one currency type, the Job Assignment in Salary Range and Performance Rating chart shows salary information in the worksheet currency (that is, the one selected in the Currency drop-down list). For employees who are paid in an alternate currency type, Dayforce converts their salary or hourly rate to the worksheet currency when showing it in the chart.
When you hover the cursor over the performance rating indicator, the tooltip shows the exchange rate that was used in the conversion. For more information about the worksheet currency, see Currency in Compensation Worksheets.
When you select an employee’s name in the chart, they’re also highlighted in the employee list at the bottom of the worksheet so that you can easily review and update their allocations as needed.
Compensation Cycles Without Performance Ratings
If the compensation cycle is configured not to use performance ratings, Dayforce shows the Job Assignment in Salary Range chart rather than the Job Assignment in Salary Range and Performance Rating chart in the worksheet. The Job Assignment in Salary Range chart uses a blue triangle rather than a circle to indicate each employee’s salary in relation to their job assignment’s salary range and mid-point. It doesn’t, however, provide an indication of whether the employee’s salary needs attention. When you hover the cursor over the triangle, the tooltip doesn’t include any performance information for the employee.
