When a payroll administrator uploads the ABA file containing direct debit details of Australian employees' pay into their banking portal, the banks process this file based on the date given in the ABA file. Typically, the processing date of the ABA file equals the pay date as specified in the pay calendar in Dayforce. However, you can configure the contract pay date to an alternate date to enable banks to process employee salaries one day before the pay date.
To add an alternate processing date:
- Go to Pay Setup > Pay Group.
- In the sidebar, select an existing pay group or click Add to a new pay group.
- Click the Pay Calendars tab and select a pay period.
- In the Contract Pay Date field, select the employee's payment date one day prior to their actual pay date.
- Click Save.
