Create Employee Groups

In HR Admin > Employee Group Admin, you can create groups that users can assign to employees who have similar attributes.

Role feature access: HR Admin > HR Admin > Employee Group Admin

Employee groups can be used for reporting. For example, if an organization's part-time and hourly stockroom employees all belong to the same employee group, users can select the employee group to report on these employees instead of selecting the individual pay type, pay class, and job assignment.

Employee groups can also be used for rule calculation. For example, pay policy rules can include an employee qualifier that restricts the rule to run only for employees who are assigned to a specific employee group. See Employee Qualifier in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.

After you create an employee group, you can assign it to employees in the Employee Group drop-down list of the Policies and Groups section in the Employment > Employment Settings screen of People.

To add an employee group:

1. Go to HR Admin > Employee Group Admin and click Add.
2. Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
3. Enter a start date and, optionally, an end date.
4. Enter a value in the Reference Code field. Reference codes are used to export data to other applications. These codes must be unique and must not contain special characters.
5. Click Save.
