Before You Begin: In addition to approving promotions, senior managers can also initiate employee promotions in their own worksheets and the worksheets that they have access to. This process is the same as for front-line managers. See Promote Employees in Compensation.
As a senior manager, you can approve or reject promotions in worksheets that are submitted for your approval. When you open a worksheet that includes one or more promotions, Dayforce shows an informational message for each of the promoted employees in the Problems panel.
You can click this message to highlight the employee's name in the worksheet so you can view additional information about the promotion.
In the Job Assignment column of the worksheet's employee list, Dayforce shows the name of both the old and new job assignment for promoted employees, along with a yellow pending icon (
) indicating that the change needs approval.
Note: The arrow icon is only shown next to promotions that need your approval (that is, it isn’t shown for promotions that you initiate yourself).
When you click the value in the Job Assignment field, Dayforce opens the Promote dialog box, in which you can click Approve or Reject for the promotion.
If you click Reject and then Save, Dayforce removes the promotion data from the worksheet and only the data for the old (that is, current) job assignment is shown. Further, the new salary value is validated again based on the old job assignment's pay grade, and an error or warning message might be shown if the new salary exceeds the maximum salary defined for the old job assignment.
If you click Approve and then Save, Dayforce saves the promotion as approved and shows a green approved icon (
) next to the promotion in the Job Assignment column.
You can also approve multiple promotions at once in the Approve or Approve and Submit dialog box for the worksheet. See Approve and Reject Worksheets.
