WFM Form Config Settings
Setting Description
Form Name The name of the form that you want to configure the grace period for.
Grace Period for Submission
Grace Period for Approval

The number of days an employee should submit the form within and the number of days the manager should approve by. By default, the value entered in these fields is 30 days. Additionally, these settings only accept values of 1 or greater.

For example, if you enter 30 days as the Grace Period for Submission. If an employee submits the form on May 20, they can't submit for a date beyond April 21 as Dayforce calculates 30 days back from the date of the submission. Similarly, if you enter 30 days in the Grace Period for Approval field and an employee submits the form on May 20, then the manager needs to approve on or before June 19.

These settings only apply to the Change Shift form, Certificate of Attendance form, and Overtime form. These settings are not available when other forms are entered in the Form Name setting.
