Dayforce supports over a hundred countries globally for Payroll, many of which use non-native solutions to calculate and send payroll information to and from Dayforce to partner systems.
Because Dayforce must adhere to the requirements of different countries when processing payroll information, some restrictions must be observed:
- Assigned sex is the only value that will ever be used for Payroll. Gender identity isn’t used unless explicitly stated or chosen during implementation.
- Dayforce will only ever use an appropriate country value for payroll processing. For example, if an employee is in the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom-assigned sex value is used.
- If a country-specific assigned sex value is missing, an error is shown, where possible.
- If the Display Enhanced Gender Last Modification Information and Effective Dating client property is enabled, Dayforce uses the record for that particular pay period.
- For example, if the pay period is January 1, 2023 to February 1, 2023, and there is an assigned sex value for the period, it will be used by Payroll.
- This is also the case for historical reporting of assigned sex information.
- Any ConnectedPay, Dayforce Unified, or Dayforce Partner Unified restrictions are enabled only when ConnectedPay Enabled is selected in the pay group.
