Configure Earnings for Dayforce Unified

Before You Begin:

  • Make sure that you have a cross-reference code for each of the earnings that you are creating. Each earning requires a unique cross-reference code. Your payroll partner provides you with those cross-reference codes. You must ensure that the payroll partner includes the three-character ISO code as a prefix for each code.
  • Determine whether or not the earning is for an employee payroll election. For payroll elections, you select the Generated radio button.
