You can assign the locations that an employee manages in the Managed Locations section of the Work > Management Assignments screen in People. The Managed Locations section shows only locations that you manage (that is, locations that you have manager authority for). It doesn’t show locations that you have access to but don’t manage. For example, users like administrators can have location access without managing a location. You can view all of the locations that an employee has access to in the Location Access tab of the Security Access section in the Security Settings screen of People, including locations that they don’t manage. See Assign Location Access.
Note: When you assign a location, Dayforce automatically adds a corresponding user location access record in the Location Access tab of the Security Access section in the Security Settings screen with the same authority type and effective dates, even if there is already an existing record for the same location.
When an employee is assigned as a location’s manager, they manage all of the other employees who work there by default, unless you assign the employee a different direct manager. See Assign Managers to Specific Employees.
To assign locations that a user manages:
- Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Work > Management Assignments.
- In the Managed Locations section, click Add.
- In the Managed Location drop-down list, select a location.
- Enter an effective from date and, optionally, an effective end date.
- In the Authority Type drop-down list, select Manager.
- Click Save.
