Add Badges

You can add more than one badge for an employee, but employees can’t have more than one active badge at the same time (that is, the badges’ effective periods can’t overlap).

To add a badge:

  1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Work > Badge.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Badge field, enter a badge number for the employee.
  4. Click the Effective From field to enter the date when the employee can start clocking in and out using the badge number. By default, Dayforce uses today’s date.
  5. Click the Effective To field to enter the date when the employee can no longer clock in and out using the badge number. By default, this field is blank and the badge number doesn’t expire.
  6. Click Save.
