Employee Timesheet

In Employee Timesheet, you can quickly record, view, and edit the times that you worked throughout the week. If Dayforce is configured to load timesheets by pay group, click Load and select the pay group and pay period that you want to load. Click Load and the timesheet for the corresponding pay period opens.

Icons provide details about the shifts on your timesheet. For example, they’re used when a shift is authorized, when a meal is waived, or when there’s a problem:

Employee Timesheet has a number of panels that you can use to view additional information.

View totals in hours:minutes: Select this checkbox and Dayforce shows total hours in the hours:minutes format.
Enable real time calculations: Select this checkbox and Dayforce automatically recalculates data when you make changes to your timesheet. When you clear this checkbox, Dayforce shows the recalculation required icon () indicating that the timesheet data isn’t up to date. Dayforce also shows the Recalculate button in the toolstrip. You can click this button to manually recalculate timesheet data. After the timesheet is recalculated, the icon is removed.
Show Projects in Hierarchical View: Select this checkbox to enable the hierarchical view for projects when you add shifts and pay adjustments.

Dayforce shows projects in a hierarchical format, with parent projects appearing at the top level. You can click a parent project to expand it and view its child projects. When you clear this checkbox, Dayforce shows projects in a standard view that shows only child projects.

Audits

Contains details about timesheet changes. Depending on how Dayforce is configured, the Audits panel might be split into two tabs: Shift and Authorization. The Shift tab shows the standard audit information for shifts on the timesheet. The Authorization tab shows information for unauthorized periods, including a description of why the period was unauthorized. See Authorize and Unauthorize Your Time.

A number of columns in the Audits panel use icons to indicate shift details. Most of these columns show a checkmark when the column heading applies.
