Performance Rating Matrix

Before You Begin: Values in the guideline matrix are entered either as a percentage or a flat amount, depending on your selection in the Guideline Type field. For amount-based guidelines, you should ensure that the entered values are reflective of the Guideline Amount Type selection.

When you select Performance Ratings in the Criteria section of Compensation Setup > Guidelines, Dayforce shows a table in which you can configure guidelines based on employee performance ratings. This table includes the following columns:

  • Performance column in which Dayforce automatically populates the values from the selected rating scale.
  • Guidelines column to enter the guideline values for the performance ratings.
  • Override column to set the override settings for managers when they reward employees outside the defined guidelines in worksheets.

If you selected Range in the Value Type drop-down list, Dayforce shows the Min and Max fields in each row of the Guidelines column, and you enter a number in each field to define the guideline range. If you selected Single in the Value Type drop-down list, Dayforce shows a single field in each row of the Guidelines column, and you enter a single number in each field.
