Configure Request Approve Functionality for a Pay Group

The Request Approve functionality has four threshold levels that you can set to trigger the pay approval request if any of the configured thresholds are exceeded:

  • Request Approve: Select this checkbox to enable the option.
  • Employee Net Pay Warning: Enter an amount for an employee (for example, 10000).
  • Total Payroll Warning: Enter an amount for the entire pay run (for example, 100000).
  • Salaried Earnings Variation from Last Period (%): Enter a percentage of variation for an employee (for example, 5.5).
  • Total Net Pay Variation (%): Enter a percentage of variation for an employee (for example, 3.2).

Threshold options that you don't set are ignored by Dayforce when it checks to see if a pay run qualifies for authorization. These options are illustrated in the following screenshot:
