Link Attendance Rule Policies with Attendance Policies

After you create an attendance rule policy and set it up with attendance rules, you can associate it with one or more attendance policies.

Note that when you link an attendance rule policy with an attendance policy, Dayforce processes both your attendance policy and attendance rule policy configuration. Because of this behavior, you might want to add a new attendance policy that’s specifically tied to your attendance rule policy to avoid altering the configuration of an existing attendance policy. This is useful if you want the attendance rule policy to be the main driver of your attendance tracking functionality.

Alternatively, you can associate an attendance rule policy with an existing attendance policy to leverage the configuration of both policies.

Note: Remember, if both policies are configured, Dayforce first evaluates your attendance policy configuration and then your attendance rule policy configuration, in sequence.

See the following topics:

• For information about creating an attendance policy, see Add Attendance Policies.
• For best practice information about using attendance policies and attendance rule policies in tandem, see Attendance Management Best Practices.

1. Go to Pay Setup > Attendance and click the Attendance Policy tab.
