Management Assignments

Before You Begin: If an administrator's user role is assigned to the Access to All Cycles role feature (under Compensation Administration > Compensation Cycle Administration) in the Features tab of System AdminRoles, you don't need to specify management assignments for them in this tab. Administrators with the Access to All Cycles feature have access to all manager worksheets by default. See Compensation Administrator Role Security.

In the Management Assignments tab of Compensation Setup > Compensation Cycles, you can configure which compensation administrators have access to data in your compensation cycles and which managers each of those administrators are responsible for in the organization. This allows you to limit the responsibilities of your administrators to a smaller group within a large organization.

When you assign a manager to an administrator in the Management Assignment tab, that administrator is given access to the worksheets for that manager, and any managers that report directly or indirectly to that manager, in the Compensation Administration > Compensation Cycle Administration feature.

To configure an administrator's access to managers in a compensation cycle:

  1. Go to Compensation Setup > Compensation Cycles.
  2. Select a compensation cycle in the sidebar.
  3. Click the Management Assignments tab.
  4. Click Add in the tab toolstrip.
  5. Click the field in the Compensation Admin column and select a compensation administrator in the drop-down list. This list includes all users who are assigned access to the Compensation Cycle Administration feature in the Features tab of System Admin > Roles.
  6. Click the field in the Assigned Managers column, and then click the hierarchy button () to open the Assign Managers dialog box. This dialog box shows the organization hierarchy that you configured in the Organization tab and allows you to see the direct and indirect reports for each manager that you're assigning.
  7. In the Assign Managers dialog box, do one of the following:
    • To provide the administrator with access to all managers in the compensation cycle, select the All checkbox in the hierarchy.
    • To provide the administrator with access to only specific managers in the cycle, select the checkbox next to the name of one or more managers in the hierarchy. You can search for managers using the following methods:
      • In the search field, start typing a manager's name and then select them in the filtered list of options.
      • Click the arrow next to the search field, and then select a manager in the drop-down list.
      • Click + to expand the hierarchy and then select the checkbox next to a manager's name.
  8. Note: When you select a manager, all of the managers under them in the hierarchy are also selected.
  9. Click OK. Dayforce adds the manager to the Assigned Managers column.
  10. Click Save.
