Run Offcycle Exports to Dayforce Payroll

Running offcycle pay exports for Dayforce Payroll is similar to running offcycle pay exports for Payroll, except that you can create and modify pay runs. For more information about Dayforce Payroll, pay runs, and offcycle pay runs, see the Payroll Administrator Guide.

Before You Begin: If you don't see the Offcycle button in the toolstrip, Dayforce hasn't been configured to perform offcycle pay exports or you don't have access. Contact your system administrator.

To run an offcycle pay export:

1. Go to Pay Admin Checklist and click Offcycle. The Offcycle Pay Export Wizard dialog box opens.
2. In the Select a pay group drop-down list, select a pay group.
3. Note: The Select a pay group drop-down list is shown and required only if Dayforce was installed with the Dayforce Payroll functionality enabled. After you select a pay group, the Assign page is added to the wizard.
3. Select which type of offcycle pay export you want to run:
   • Pay Adjustments From Prior Periods: Pay out any retroactive adjustments that exist for your employees. See Retroactive Adjustments.
   • Pay Out To Date: Pay out any employees who were terminated in the middle of a pay cycle. This includes any pay from pay adjustments, retroactive adjustments, or timesheet hours entered during the current pay cycle.
4. Click Next. Dayforce shows filter criteria that you can use to search for the employees you want to export.
5. Select the checkbox next to the employees you want to export. If necessary, you can then search again for a different employee. Dayforce saves your selections, even if you apply a different filter.
6. Click Next. Dayforce shows the employees that you selected.
7. Click Next. The Assign page opens.
8. Click Offcycle and then click New to create an offcycle pay run. The New Off-Cycle Pay Run dialog box opens. Creating an offcycle pay run involves configuring the pay date and the default check template, following the normal process.
9. Note: If existing pay runs are already created, you can select and run those, as appropriate.
9. In the Run Type drop-down list, select an option:
   • Prior Period Adjustment: This pay run is outside a regular, scheduled pay run.
   • Normal Off Cycle: This pay run will act like a regular, scheduled pay run.
10. (Optional) If you selected Normal Off Cycle in the previous step, select a value in the Off Cycle Default Check Template drop-down list.
11. Enter a name for the pay run, configure the other fields, and then click Save and Load.
12. Select the offcycle pay run and click Next.
13. Click Finish.
