To run the Pay Summary Recalc background job on-demand:
- Go to System Admin > Background Jobs and click the Available Jobs tab.
- Select Pay Summary Recalc in the jobs list, and click Run in the toolstrip. The Run Pay Summary Recalc dialog box opens.
- Do one of the following:
- Using the Weeks before today and Weeks after today fields, specify the length of your lookback period, in weeks.
- For example, to examine the 4th week in the past, enter 4 in the Weeks before today field and enter -3 in the Weeks after today field.
- Using the Date start and Date end fields, enter dates that fall within the calculation period you want the job to examine. Remember, this is the calculation period associated with your pay period, and the job examines each date in the calculation period, not just the duration you specify in the fields.
- Depending on your requirements, select or clear the Recalculate transmitted periods checkbox.
- Important: Remember, when this setting is enabled, Dayforce recalculates all pay periods that fall within the specified time range, even if they’ve already been transmitted.
- Select the Skip attendance calculation checkbox.
- Do one of the following:
- In the Site selection list, select a location, or multiple locations.
- In the Pay group selection list, select one or more pay groups.
- In the Employee selection list, select one or more employees.
- Important: The background job only considers one of the above settings when it runs. For example, if you configure both the Site and Pay group settings, the job ignores the Site setting and includes your Pay group setting configuration when running the job engine. Further, if you configure the Site, Pay group, and Employee settings, the job ignores the Site and Pay group settings and includes your Employee setting configuration when running the job engine.
- (Optional) In the Target scope drop-down list, select Strict to exclude retro pay changes.
- Click Run. The dialog box closes and the job is queued to run.
- To view the job’s details, click the Job Logs tab and expand the Pay Summary Recalc job record in the list.
