Depending on the Frequency set in the Pay Group Properties tab, the options in this drop-down list are:

Field to set the number of hours after a commit date/time that Dayforce reopens the data gate to workflows that might impact the pay run.

This checkbox, when selected, configures the application to pay employees in the pay group through the Dayforce Payroll feature, committing payroll from Payroll. When cleared, this configures the pay group not to use the Payroll feature.

This checkbox is shown only if your organization is configured to use the Dayforce Payroll feature. It isn’t shown if your organization is WFM-only.

You can select this checkbox to migrate an existing WFM-only pay group to use the Payroll feature.

Important: If you do select this for a WFM-only pay group, when payroll commit from Payroll begins (set with the Payroll Commit Start Date), the pay group can no longer be exported through the Payroll Export interface used by WFM to export pay data to an external payroll provider.

Field to set the date when the pay group starts being paid through the Payroll feature if you selected the Enable Commit From Payroll checkbox.

Important: If you set a date here for a pay group with the Enable Commit From Payroll option selected, the pay group can no longer be exported through the Payroll Export interface after the date specified.

Drop-down list that sets how the application localizes print statements, with the following options:

• Print based on Employee culture
• Print based on Client Default culture

Required. Select one of the available options from this drop-down:

• Print based on Employee culture
• Print based on Client Default culture

Select Print based on Employee culture option to print employee earning statements in the employee's preferred language, or select Print based on Client Default culture to override the employee's preferred language and print statements in the client's default culture.

Enter the number of decimal places (2, 3, or 4) for hours on earning statements, the Payroll Register Report, and all of the tabs in Payroll.

This setting affects only how hours are included in the report. It doesn’t affect how payroll data is stored in Dayforce. Increasing the number of decimal places might decrease the accuracy of the listed earnings for employees if their hours were rounded off. In such cases, the number of hours multiplied by the pay rate might not equal the listed dollar amount of their earnings.

Select this checkbox as part of the configuration to award entitlement accruals based on payroll earnings.

See Configure Earning Based Accruals.

Select this checkbox to update imported pay entries that contain any rate code rates that were changed after a pay entry import, but before the pay run was committed. If you clear the checkbox, Dayforce applies the rate code rate that was effective at the time of the import.

Important: This functionality works only when you use the Pay Entry Import.

(Optional) Sends notifications to your payroll partners when you lock or unlock your quick entries:

• Email
• Event

If you select one of these options, payroll partners will receive a notification indicating that the quick entries are ready to be accessed through an API call. Select No to prevent the sending of notifications.

Adds the option for you to select any day of the week, including the weekend, as a pay date for the selected pay group.

(Optional) Sets a date when the payroll partner is supplying locally compliant earning statements. Starting on the selected date, the application suppresses the showing of HTML earning statements that Dayforce generates so that only the earning statements that payroll partners upload to Dayforce are available in Self-Service and in an employee's profile in People.

If you select a date, earning statements that payroll partners import in Document Management are available for pay runs with pay dates on or after the date that you specify in this field. By default, this field is empty, and if you leave it empty, Dayforce continues to show HTML earning statements.

Select this checkbox to trigger a Request Pay Approval for a pay run when certain employee or payroll thresholds are met for that pay run.

See Request Pay Approval: Payroll Feature in the Payroll Administrator Guide.
