Configure Performance Cycles

To define a performance cycle: 

1. Go to HR Admin > Performance Cycle Admin and click Add.
2. Enter a name and, optionally, a description for the performance cycle.
3. Specify when the performance cycle starts and ends using the Start Month, Start Day, End Month, and End Day drop-down lists. For example, in the previous screenshot, the Annual cycle runs from June 1 this year to May 31 next year.
4. Enter an effective date range. If the performance cycle should repeat every year, leave the Effective End field blank.
5. Entering a date in the Effective End field means that after this date, employees can’t receive performance reviews under this cycle.
5. Click Save.
6. Dayforce adds the performance cycle. When managers conduct performance reviews, they can record that the results were part of the performance cycle.
