Configure Pay Groups for ConnectedPay

Pay groups for ConnectedPay projects have unique properties that differentiate them from pay groups for native payroll. Any pay group for ConnectedPay that you configure must use the settings that are described in this topic.

Important: This topic covers only the essential configuration required for pay groups for use in a ConnectedPay project. Detailed information about all of the available configuration options for pay groups is covered in Pay Groups in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.

Pay groups are configured in Pay Setup > Pay Group in several of the available tabs.

Before You Begin:

Check that the Country drop-down list includes an entry for the country of the ConnectedPay pay group that you are implementing. If it's not available, you must run a script to add the country.
Determine whether the implementation of ConnectedPay uses Dayforce Link or API to export employee HR data and payroll elections to the payroll partner.

To configure a pay group for a ConnectedPay project:

Go to Pay Setup > Pay Group and click the Payroll Properties tab.
In the Properties section in the Country drop-down list, select the country that you are implementing the pay group for.
In the Net Pay Setup section, select the Do Not Disburse Or Print Back to Office checkbox.
In the Settings for ConnectedPay section, configure the options in the Settings for ConnectedPay Fields table, and click Save:

Settings for ConnectedPay fields
Field	Description
Allow Future Dated Import	Payroll administrators and other authorized users can import data for future-dated pay runs. When this checkbox is cleared, the import fails when the file contains future-dated data.
Automatically Approve Off-Cycle Types	(Optional) The particular off-cycle type that does not require review in Dayforce and automatically marks it as approved after the Global Pay Run Import (GPRI) is loaded. You can choose one or both of the following options: Adjustment Advance
ConnectedPay Enabled	If you have already configured your organization as an international ConnectedPay operation location and you want to allow payroll administrators to import future-dated pay data using the Pay Run History Import file, select this checkbox.
Display ICP Pay Slips As Of	(Optional) The date when the payroll partner supplies locally compliant earning statements. Starting on the selected date, the application suppresses the showing of HTML earning statements that Dayforce generates so that only the earning statements that payroll partners upload to Dayforce are available in Self-Service and in an employee's profile in People. If you select a date, earning statements that payroll partners import in Document Management are available for pay runs with pay dates on or after the date that you specify in this field. By default, this field is empty, and if you leave it empty, Dayforce continues to show HTML earning statements.
Document types for Archived Reports	The document types that you would like to view in Payroll > Archived Reports after they have been uploaded to Document Explorer. The options in the dropdown list are as follows: Payroll Input: Documents that the payroll partner needs from Dayforce. Examples: employment status change information, employee payroll elections, WFM time data, leave and garnishment documentation. Payroll Output - Trial: Draft documents sent by the payroll partner for your review. Example: payroll register report. Payroll Output - Live: Final documents sent by the payroll partner after finalizing payroll. Examples: bank files, general ledger files, payroll reports. Note that you can deselect any documents that have already been selected by clicking the ‘x’ next to them, and that this field can be left blank.
Email Addresses for Document Manager Import - Use a comma to separate each one	The email addresses—separated by commas—that receive notification messages when documents in Document Management are queued, loaded, or failed.
Email addresses for GPRI alerts – Use a comma to separate each one	The email addresses—separated by commas—of recipients who you want to receive notification messages when an imported ConnectedPay pay run is approved, rejected, or under review.
Email Addresses for Payroll Lock/Unlock - Use a comma to separate each one	The email addresses of recipients who receive notifications when you lock or unlock quick entries.
Enable Alert for Payroll Lock/Unlock	(Optional) Sends notifications to your payroll partners when you lock or unlock your quick entries: Email Event Email and Event If you select one of these options, payroll partners will receive a notification indicating that the quick entries are ready to be accessed through an API call. Select No to prevent the sending of notifications.
Enable Alert for Quick Entry Delete	Sends notifications to your payroll partners when you unlock a pay run and delete existing quick entries: No Email Event Email and Event If you select an option other than No, payroll partners and the email recipients that you specify receive a notification that contains: The reference codes of the quick entries that you deleted Customer (Client) name Pay run information such as pay period number (PPN) and pay group details Name of the user who deleted the quick entries, and the date and time at which the quick entries were deleted. Select No to prevent sending any notifications.

Including Saturday & Sunday pay dates	Enables you to select any day of the week, including the weekend, as a pay date for the selected pay group.
Offset Pay Period Days	Offsets your pay period by the number of days and helps align your pay period more accurately so that your payroll provider can distinguish between payroll periods and calculation periods, and thus avoid misinterpreting pay data.
Offset Pay Slips Import Last Pay Date Months	The number of months after a terminated employee's last pay date when an earning statement or pay slip can still be imported into Dayforce, based on the earning statement's or pay slip's pay date. The offset applies to earning statements and pay slips for Dayforce Unified and Dayforce Partner Unified pay groups that are imported using the POST Import Documents API. When there is no last pay date recorded, the employee's termination date is used. Note: The ConnectedPay Enabled checkbox in each pay group must be selected to enable this feature.
Payroll Key	(System Admin users only) Adds string values to provide instructions to set specific field outputs in Dayforce Link exports. This field uses a structured string to set flags and provide instructions to set specific field outputs. For details about how you can configure this field, see the country-specific export output guide or the ICP technical output guide.
Payroll Partner	(Service roles only) The payroll partner that processes the payroll of the pay group and determines which GDVS ruleset will be run. This option is available only if you previously selected ConnectedPay Enabled.
