Confirm Scheduled Runs of the CPO Background Job for US On-Demand Pay

Before You Begin: To perform this task requires a System Administrator role access. For assistance, contact your Dayforce representative.

When you configure a US pay group for on-demand pay, Dayforce automatically schedules two daily runs of the Continuous Payroll Output (CPO) background job: the first run is at 12:01 AM EST, and the second run is at 1:45 PM EST. The Continuous Payroll Output (CPO) background job does not run for or affect Canadian pay groups.

The Continuous Payroll Output background job ensures that US on-demand payment requests for On-Demand Pay are processed daily and transmitted to DTS. Automatic creation of these background job schedules ensures that this step isn’t overlooked during implementation.

Important: Other payments to Dayforce Wallet, such as onsite disbursement using the Dayforce Wallet Card aren’t considered on-demand payment requests.

To confirm that the Continuous Payroll Output background job has been correctly scheduled after you have configured a pay group for On-Demand Pay:

1. Go to System Admin > Background Jobs and click the Scheduled Jobs tab.
2. Locate the Continuous Payroll Output job and verify that there are two daily scheduled jobs: 12:01 AM EST, and the second run is at 1:45 PM EST.

Manually Configure a Schedule for the Continuous Payroll Output Background Job

The Continuous Payroll Output job runs automatically, as described earlier in this topic, so you don’t need to manually configure a schedule for the job to run it; however, you can manually schedule additional runs for this background job.
