View and Add Managed Employees

You can view, add, and delete direct reports in the Managed Employees section of the Work > Management Assignments screen of the manager’s profile in People.

This section shows the employees that the user manages, including those they manage directly and employees they manage by work location (by org). Employees they manage by org are grayed out, indicating that you can’t edit those records. However, you can edit and add employees that they manage directly. In addition, the list of employees can be filtered to include terminated employees:

Example of the Managed Employees section.

To add a direct report:

  1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Work > Management Assignments.
  2. In the Management section, click Add.
  3. In the Managed Employee drop-down list, select the employee that the user will manage.
  4. Enter an effective start and, optionally, an effective end date in the corresponding fields.
  5. The Derivation Method column is set to Direct by default and isn’t editable.
  6. Click Save.
  7. If Dayforce is configured to allow employees to report to multiple managers, and an employee already has one or more direct managers defined, Dayforce shows a dialog box asking whether you want to replace the current direct manager with the new manager, or add the new manager to the list of existing managers. Click Replace or Add and Dayforce updates records accordingly:
  8. Replace Manager dialog box.
  9. This dialog box isn’t shown if Dayforce is only configured to allow employees to report one manager, or if the employee’s existing managers were derived by org. Instead, the employee’s existing manager relationship is ended as of the effective start date specified for the new manager.
