Mid-Period Proration of Auto Pay by Business Days - 5 Days a Week

You can configure an Auto Pay Rule in Dayforce to prorate salary based on days in the week (Monday to Friday).

For example, when an employee is hired on the Wednesday of a weekly pay period and only works three business days, the rule auto-pays the employee a prorated amount for the three days worked. This option is primarily for non-European customers.
