Note: Compensation administrators with delegated access can approve, reject, and submit worksheets for managers in the compensation cycle.
When a front-line manager submits their worksheet, the senior manager responsible for approving it gets a notification in Message Center. This notification includes a read-only version of the worksheet which allows you to approve or reject the worksheet in Message Center (unless you must approve promotions in Compensation). If the approver is assigned access to the Compensation feature, the notification includes a link that opens the worksheet in the senior manager view of Compensation so that the approver can edit the details as needed before approving or rejecting the worksheet.
When you open a worksheet that’s pending your approval in Compensation, Dayforce shows the Approve and Reject buttons in the worksheet toolstrip.
Click Approve, enter worksheet-level comments, and then click Submit to submit the worksheet to the next level of approval. For any warnings in the worksheet, you must enter justifications before submitting (as you do when you submit your own worksheet).
Click Reject and enter justifications for warnings, and a worksheet level message indicating why the worksheet wasn’t approved. When rejected, the manager is notified so they can make the necessary changes and resubmit for approval.
Depending on how the cycle is configured, Dayforce might show the Approve and Submit button in the My Organization tab of Compensation.
You can click Approve and Submit to approve and submit all of the worksheets that you’re responsible for at once. After they’re submitted, the status is updated, and the worksheets are sent to the next level of approval. See Worksheet Approval Process.
Note: If Dayforce shows Approve and Submit, the compensation cycle uses an organization level submission process which means that while you can approve each worksheet individually, you must submit all of them at the same time after they’re all completed. Worksheets can’t be submitted individually.
Approve Worksheets with Promotions
When you click Approve or Approve and Submit for a worksheet with promotions, Dayforce includes an Approve column next to the Comments column in the approvals dialog box. Any promotions that need your approval are shown with a checkbox, which you can select to approve the job assignment change before submitting the worksheet:
Note: This checkbox is shown only for promotions that were submitted for approval by another manager. Promotions that you initiate don’t need your authorization, so they aren’t shown with a checkbox.
If you want to reject a promotion, you must do so from the Promote dialog box before approving the worksheet.
If you have already approved a promotion in the Promote dialog box, the Approve checkbox for that promotion will already be selected when you approve the worksheet. See Approve and Reject Promotions in Worksheets.
