In the Pay Information section of work assignment records in the Work > Work Assignments screen of People, Dayforce can show information about the pay grade associated with the job assignment. Pay grades describe the range of pay that employees should earn for working specific jobs:
The pay grade can show a rate or a salary amount depending on whether the employee is hourly or salaried.
Some or all pay grade fields can be shown depending on the access authorizations assigned to your role. Each field has a corresponding access authorization starting with "Pay Grade" in the Authorizations tab of System Admin > Roles.
The following is a description of each field:
- Pay Grade: The name of the pay grade.
- Min: The lowest amount someone working a job assignment assigned the pay grade should earn.
- Mid: An amount automatically calculated midpoint between the minimum and maximum rates of the pay grade.
- Max: The highest amount someone working a job assignment assigned the pay grade should earn.
- Control Rate/Salary: The amount that most employees earn (also known as the market rate). Not necessarily the midpoint between the minimum and maximum, it represents the ideal amount that employees working job assignments with the pay grade should earn.
- Compa-Ratio: A percentage calculated as the employee’s pay amount in relation to the pay grade control point. A ratio of 100% means the employee is paid at the control point. See Compa-Ratio Calculation.
