Committing a pay run involves transferring funds used to cover the pay run from the employer's bank accounts to Dayforce's on the impound date (typically a few days prior to the actual pay date). Dayforce Back Office then prepares, prints, and distributes the physical checks (if necessary) and payroll reports, as well as transferring direct deposit pay to employees.
Important: There are several validations that Dayforce performs when you commit pay to ensure that all necessary information has been properly entered and configured in Dayforce. This information can include SSN, SIN, or NI numbers, and information about legal entities and third party payees, etc. Dayforce prompts you if it encounters problems such as missing information that might prevent you from successfully committing pay.
To commit a pay run from the Pay Run Management tab:
- Go to Payroll > Pay Run Management.
- Locate and select the locked pay run and click Load.
- Click Process Job and click Commit.
- Wait for the process to complete.
