Role feature access: Payroll > Data Entry > Compensation Data

Role feature access: Payroll > Pay Run Management > Compensation Data

See Role Features for Compensation.

After a bonus pay component is posted in the Compensation Administration > Compensation Cycle Administration feature, payroll administrators can review the details in the Compensation Data tab of Payroll > Data Entry or Payroll > Pay Run Management:

Compensation Data tab.

Payroll administrators can use the Move functionality in this tab to change the pay run in which the employee will receive the bonus. To move the pay component to a different pay run, select one or more employees, and then click Move > Move Selected in the toolstrip.

If you want to move all of the displayed pay components to a different pay run, select Move All in the Move drop-down list.

Dayforce opens the Move dialog box, which contains a list of relevant pay runs. Each pay run shows with a Move to Pay Run drop-down list in which you can select a pay run to which to move the pay components. By default, Dayforce populates the next scheduled pay run in the field:

Move dialog box with pay runs selected in the Move To Pay Run fields.

When you’ve finished, click OK to move the pay components to the selected pay run.
