If you allocate outside of a pay component’s configured guideline, Dayforce shows either an error message or a warning message (depending on configuration) in the Problems panel, and highlights the fields in the employee list with an informative tooltip:
If Dayforce shows an error message, you must update the allocated amount before submitting the worksheet. If Dayforce shows a warning, you don’t have to update the value, but you must enter a reason in the comments for that employee. You can do this by clicking the note icon (
) next to the employee’s name. Dayforce opens a comment panel in which you can enter your reason for the allocation and then click Post. If you don’t enter the reason, Dayforce requests it again when you try to submit the worksheet. See Submit Compensation Worksheets for Approval.
