Dayforce reports any employee who recorded worked time by clocking in and out for work, or who should be automatically paid for their scheduled time (typically salaried employees), and weren’t paid. It also checks for approved pay adjustments, like commission pay outs, bonuses, or other premiums, that an employee earned but for some reason wasn’t paid for.

When employees clock in and out for work, and record their breaks, Dayforce compares the clock entries to their scheduled times, and any differences, such as an employee clocking in earlier than they were scheduled, are considered exceptions.

Timesheet: Users can open employee timesheets in the employee timesheet slide-out panel in Time Review.

Before You Begin: You shouldn’t enable both the Unapprove and Unsubmit role features. These features don’t function together and you must decide whether to use one or the other in the timesheet slide-out panel, or neither.

  • Approve: Users can approve their employees’ timesheets.
  • Copy employee: Users can copy one employee’s timesheet to another’s.
  • Copy from default: Users can create new timesheets by copying the default timesheet.

  • Load by Pay Period: Organizes shifts in the employee timesheet slide-out panel by pay period. When this feature is assigned, Dayforce shows weekly information cards above the loaded employee’s duration timesheets. These weekly cards show the dates included and number of hours worked in a pay period. Depending on how frequently the loaded employee is paid, Dayforce shows additional timesheet rows, organized by week.
  • Manually Link and Unlink Schedules: Users can manually link and unlink worked time with scheduled shifts.
  • Unapprove: Users can unapprove their employees’ timesheets.
