Read-Only Provisions in Job Applications

The question configuration functionality of the Recruiting module offers a feature where you can create a “question” that only contains text. It won’t include any controls where candidates would input an answer (for example, checkboxes or text boxes). You can leverage this functionality to add read-only provisions and disclaimers to the job application.

Note: The United States OFCCP’s Final Rule implements Executive Order 13665 , which promotes pay transparency and openness by protecting workers and job applicants who share compensation information from discrimination. This rule requires a nondiscrimination provision, and is an example of how this functionality might be used.

While Dayforce offers this functionality, it’s strictly the responsibility of the customer to understand what needs to be configured and communicated, and ensure their Recruiting module is configured correctly and in compliance with any and all government regulations.

Adding such provisions involves the following steps:

• Create a custom question that contains the verbiage of the provision.
• Add the question to a custom job application section.
• Add the section to a job application template.

Create a Provision Question

To create a read-only provision question:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration and click the Question Configuration tab.
2. Click New.
3. Enter a value in the Short Name field.
4. Copy the verbiage of your provision and paste it in the Question field.
5. Note: At this point, don’t paste the heading of the provision (for example, “Pay Transparency Nondiscrimination Provision”) into the Question field. The question field is for configuring the body of the section. You can add the section heading when you create the section, which is described below.
5. In the Answer Type drop-down list, click None.
6. Click Save.

Create a Provision Section

After you’ve created a provision question, you can add it to a new custom section as follows:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration.
2. Click the Section Configuration tab.
3. Click New.
4. Add the heading of the provision to the Job Application Section Name field.
5. Enter a value in the Description field.
6. Below the Screening Questionnaire Configuration section, click New.
7. In the Short Name drop-down list, select the custom question that you created in the Question Configuration tab.
8. Click Save.

Add the Provision Section to a Template

Note: The following instructions describe how to add the provision to an existing template. For instructions on creating new templates, see Configure Job Applications.

After you've created the provision section, you can add it to a template as follows:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration.
2. Click the Template Configuration tab.
3. Select the template to which you want to add the provision.
4. In the Job Application Sections section at the bottom of the screen, click New.
5. Select the provision section in the Job Application Section Name drop-down list.
6. Click Save.
