Waive and Unwaive Meals in Employee Timesheet

You can waive and unwaive meals on your timesheet using the Waive Meals and Unwaive Meals buttons.

When Dayforce is configured for meal waivers, Employee Timesheet always shows the waive and unwaive meals buttons, even if the shift doesn’t meet the required length, or if meal break penalties aren’t enabled in your time entry policy. When you try to waive a meal that isn’t eligible, Dayforce shows a message indicating that the meal waiver is invalid.

1. Go to Employee Timesheet and select the time and attendance records that you want to authorize.
2. Click Waive Meals. Dayforce waives the meal and marks the shift with the waived meal icon ():

3. To unwaive a meal, click Unwaive Meal.
4. Click Save.
