You can configure clock surveys in Dayforce to regulate clock entries and functions for employees who use Dayforce clocks. Clock surveys refer to questionnaires or statements that employees are prompted with before completing a clock entry or action on a Dayforce clock. Through your clock survey configuration, you can dictate whether:
- Employees must review questions or conditional terms and either respond to them or agree to the conditions for the clock to accept their input.
- Employees must review an informational message that doesn’t require a response for the clock to accept their input.
You can customize the surveys to support the business needs of your organization. This includes when the clock prompts employees with surveys and what action the clock takes when an employee selects a specific response. For example, consider an organization that employs kitchen staff. The organization can create a survey that asks prompts users that are performing an end-meal clock entry to confirm if they remembered to wash their hands after their meal break. The organization can configure the survey so that when employees select the “No” response to the “Did you wash your hands after your break?” question, the clock entry is rejected.
After you create a clock survey, you can publish it to your clock devices. Clock surveys are supported on the Dayforce Clock Pro, Dayforce Touch Clock, Clock+, and in Work > Time Clock.
This section describes:
- How to configure clock survey groups in Site Setup > Clock Survey Groups, which you can assign to clock surveys in Site Setup > Survey Setup and to devices in Pay Setup > Clock Devices.
- How to configure survey questions (or statements) and responses in Site Setup > Clock Surveys > Survey Question Setup.
- How to configure surveys in Site Setup > Clock Surveys > Survey Setup.
Important: You should configure clock surveys in the order that’s outlined above. Some configuration processes are dependent on other clock survey functionality already existing in the application. For example, before you can configure a clock survey in Clock Surveys > Survey Setup, you must create questions and answer types in Clock Surveys > Survey Question Setup.
