Submit Missed Time Entries

If you didn’t perform a clocking action (for example, you forgot to clock out for your meal), you can create and submit past time entries for instances when you missed a clock-in or clock-out. After you submit a missed time entry, it’s sent to your manager for approval.

Note: You can create past, missed time entries only for shifts that were within the past week.

To submit a missed time entry:

  1. In the login screen, follow the prompts to log in.
  2. Complete any verification steps that the clock prompts.
  3. In the home screen, click Self Service. The clock opens another login screen.
  4. Enter your Dayforce user name and password, and then click Log In.
  5. When you log in successfully, the clock shows the Time and pay tab with the additional self-service functions.
  6. Click Submit Time Entry.
  7. In the Select Date screen, select the date that you want to create a missed time entry for and then click Next.
  8. In the Select Shift screen, select the appropriate shift that you want to update, or select New Shift to add a missing shift. Click Next.
  9. In the Edit Time screen, add one or more time entries, as needed.
  10. Click Submit. The clock indicates if the time entry was submitted successfully.
