How we Determine

What You Pay for Coverage

Employee premium withholdings for medical coverage are based on your annual
Base Pay Rate. The Base Pay Rate is established for each employee prior to the
annual open enrollment and a new hire’s initial coverage effective date.
The Base Pay Rate is determined as follows:
• Hourly Employees – Annualized base hourly rate of pay, not counting over-
time
• Salaried Employees – Base annual rate of pay, not counting bonuses
• Variable Pay & Commission-based Employees – Actual earnings from
piecework, weight or zone pay, and/or commission earnings received from
September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019 are used for the 2020 annual
open enrollment. For newly eligible and employees with less than 12 months
of earnings, the Base Pay Rate will be projected.
Consider also that a change in your Base Pay Rate from last year may place you
in a different earnings tier for medical coverage. When you log into Dayforce to
enroll, you will see your costs for all coverages elected as you move through the
enrollment.
For benefits purposes, your Base Pay Rate is established once for the plan
year and will NOT change during the plan year.
