Add Shifts or Transfers

Note: Those with admin rights can disable the Employee Comment field by enabling the Hide Comments property in the Timesheet section of the Properties tab in System Admin > Client Properties. When the Employee Comment field isn’t enabled, Dayforce doesn’t display the field.

To add a shift, tap the context menu icon () next to the appropriate day, then tap Add Shift.

Note: The iOS mobile app now respects the Load by Pay Group client property in System Admin > Client Properties, which controls whether timesheets load based on the calendar week or pay period.

The application displays the parameters for a new shift. The following parameters are available to specify for a shift:

  • Location
  • Job Assignment
  • Pay Code: Hours or Amount, depending on the pay code. Filter pay codes by performing a search.
  • Project: Displayed list is based on your employee number, assigned job and pay code.
  • Starts/Ends
  • Docket (if applicable).
  • Labor metric information (if applicable). When you select a labor metric type, the app navigates to a screen with a list of labor metric values where you can perform a search, and make a selection for your timesheet.

To add Meals, touch the Add meal button and enter the Start and End times, then tap Add.

Transfers are used when you switch between locations, job assignments, or dockets, so that your time is tracked properly. For example, you were scheduled to work as a customer service representative, but during your shift you're asked to work as the department's assistant manager. You've worked two hours as a representative already. To record that you are switching to work as the assistant manager, you make a transfer on your mobile device.

To add Transfers, touch the Add a transfer button and select the parameters to edit on the Transfer screen, then tap Add.

Optionally, enter information in the Employee Comment field.

When you are finished, touch the Add button to add the shift to your timesheet.
