Role feature access: Compensation Administration > Compensation Cycle Administration > Approve Worksheets, Reject Worksheets, and Submit Worksheets
In the My Organization tab of Compensation Administration > Compensation Cycle Administration, you can use the Manager Actions drop-down list to submit, approve, or reject worksheets on behalf of managers in the compensation cycle.
This functionality allows you to move worksheets along in the approval process if, for example, a manager failed to approve or submit the worksheet by the assigned due date, or if the worksheet is assigned to a manager who now has an inactive or terminated employment status.
To take an action on behalf of a manager, select the worksheet in the My Organization tab and then select one of the following options in the Manager Actions drop-down list:
- Submit Worksheet: This option is only enabled for worksheets with the Not Started, In Progress, or Rejected status.
- Note: If the compensation cycle is configured to use the Organization Level Submission approval process, Dayforce shows Approve and Submit, rather than Submit Worksheet, when you’re taking the action for a senior manager.
- Approve Worksheet: This option is only enabled for worksheets with the Pending Approval status.
- Reject Worksheet: This option is only enabled for worksheets with the Pending Approval status.
Note the following:
- Administrators can only approve or reject worksheets for managers that they have access to in the organization hierarchy.
- Administrators can submit and approve worksheets for a manager, even with missing allocations or validation errors in the worksheets. As an exception, if the worksheet includes errors for pay grades configured with the Restrict Out Of Grade setting selected (in Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments), the worksheet can’t be approved or rejected until those errors are resolved.
- Compensation administrators must approve promotions while approving the worksheet.
- After an action is taken, it's saved in the worksheet comments as being done by the compensation administrator on behalf of the assigned manager.
