After a pay group’s records have been transmitted to payroll, Dayforce locks down the relevant time and attendance records on the timesheet for most users. Because any changes to these time and attendance records could impact how much employees are paid, access to make changes is limited.
Before You Begin: Which users can make changes to time and attendance records after pay period is transmitted to payroll depends on how Dayforce is configured. For more information, contact your system administrator.
Retroactive adjustments, commonly referred to as retros, are changes made to locked time and attendance records. Even though the pay period has been transmitted to payroll, some users can still make adjustments to employees’ time. Dayforce marks pay group records with retros using the retroactive pay adjustment icon in the Exceptions column.
If any retros are created, Dayforce recalculates the relevant payroll information, and if the amount the employee should have been paid changes, the difference is added to the employee’s next pay.
Retros can also be paid out immediately using an offcycle pay export in Pay Admin Checklist. See Offcycle Exports.
