Supervisor Mode

On the Dayforce Clock Pro and Clock+, users with appropriate access can open a supervisor menu. This menu contains clock entry and transfer options that managers or supervisors can use to override an employee’s clock entries or submit clock entries on their behalf. Also, users with access can enroll employees for different types of clock entry verification.

Note: Some supervisor mode functions are unique to either the Dayforce Clock Pro or Clock+.

To open the supervisor mode menu:

  1. On the clock home screen, enter the badge number for the affected employee and click Submit.
  2. In the Clock tab, click View all clock functions. The All clock functions dialog box opens.
  3. Click Supervisor Mode. The Supervisor Mode dialog box opens.
  4. Select an option (see below). The clock prompts you to enter your supervisor badge number.
  5. Enter your supervisor badge number.
  6. If you selected an override option for clock entries, the clock indicates if your override was accepted.
  7. If you’re enrolling the employee for biometrics, picture capture, clock access, or badge access, follow the prompts until the clock indicates that enrollment was successful.

Supervisor Mode Functions

Many supervisor mode functions are also available in admin mode for users with admin access. Even if users don’t have access to admin mode, the functions operate identically in both modes. The table below describes each supervisor function that’s available and distinguishes which clock the function is available on. Further, the table contains links to the topics which describe how to use the same functions in admin mode.
