The Attendance Recalc background job evaluates your employees’ attendance data and detects attendance incident, decrement, and decrement cascade changes. If the job detects changes, Dayforce creates or deletes attendance incidents or decrements for the affected employees.
This job’s primary purpose is to fix problematic attendance data. If you’ve configured attendance management functionality in Dayforce, consider the following recommendations for running and scheduling this job:
- Schedule this job to run after a scheduled instance of the Pay Summary Recalc background job. Because the Pay Summary Recalc job can take a while to process, you should schedule the Attendance Recalc job to run about two hours after the Pay Summary Recalc job to account for its running time.
- Configure the Pay Summary Recalc job with the Skip attendance calculation checkbox selected so that the Attendance Recalc job is responsible for evaluating attendance changes.
