Configure Role Access to Payroll Statements and Forms in ESS

Earnings, part of the employee self-service (ESS) feature of Dayforce, gives employees online access to their earning statements and year-end tax forms. Employees can also print a copy of their documents for their records.

Access to Earnings and its various sub-tabs is based on the employee's user role.

To give a role access to Earnings and specific sub-tabs:

  1. Go to System Admin > Roles.
  2. Select the role that you want to configure, and then click the Features tab.
  3. In the feature tree, ensure the Earnings checkbox is selected and then expand Earnings to show the sub-tab options.
  4. Select the checkbox next to the name of the sub-tab that you want to show in Earnings.
  5. Click Save.

This option when selected only gives the employee access to these payroll statements in the ESS feature.
