Configure Client Properties for Pay Zones

In System Admin > Client Properties, you can configure the settings that control pay zone functionality in Dayforce. These settings are located in the Properties tab in the General section:

Pay zone client properties
Property Purpose
Allow Pay Zone Region Import to partially process

Controls whether Dayforce continues to process the pay zone region import if it encounters an error. When this checkbox is cleared, Dayforce stops processing the import when it encounters an error.

Automatically trigger “Employee Pay Zone Recalc” and “Pay Zone Differential Recalc” Jobs

Controls whether Dayforce automatically does the following:

  • Runs the Employee Pay Zone Recalc background job after pay zone imports.
  • Runs the Pay Zone Differential Recalc background job after new pay zones are created.
Enable Pay Zones in place of Org. Differentials

Controls access to pay zone functionality, including the Employee Pay Zone Recalc background job and the Pay Zone Differentials Recalc background job.

When you select this checkbox, Dayforce replaces the Org Differentials subtab in the Pay Grades tab of Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments with the Pay Zone Differentials subtab. The Pay Zone Differentials subtab is where you associate pay zones with pay grades.

  1. Go to System Admin > Client Properties, click the Properties tab, and go to the General section.

  5. Click Save.
