In the Overview tab, the Load Pay Run button becomes active when you select a single pay period. You can only load one pay period at a time. You cannot select more than one pay period and load it. Also, you cannot process the same job for more than one pay period for the same pay group.
If you select a pay run and click Load Pay Run, Dayforce loads the pay run in the Pay Run Management tab.
You can select and process the same job for more than one pay group. For example, you could select all three pay groups and select Calculate in the Process Job drop-down list to have the application calculate all three pay groups. In this case, the calculation jobs are placed in a queue. While they wait in the queue, pay runs that have not been calculated display a waiting status in the Status column.
Important: You cannot process the same job for more than one pay period for the same pay group.
After you select a pay run for a pay group and select an entry in the Process Job drop-down list, the application loads a confirmation dialog box:
Click Proceed to complete the task, or click Cancel to return to the Current Open Pay Periods list. If you click Proceed, the segmented circle indicator displays a cycling animation until the job is complete. If the job completes successfully, the application indicates this by changing the stage and the corresponding segment of the circle to green.
If the application encounters an issue, the Status column indicates the type of issue (either Error, Warning, or Notification), how many of each type of issue, and uses amber to indicate a warning and red to indicate an error in both the segmented circle and in the status list, as illustrated here:
The indicator in the Status column displays the number of errors and the stage at which the error occurred. It also displays a download button (
). In the screenshot above, the Validated stage didn’t complete successfully, and requires some action from you as the payroll administrator. Click the download button to save or open a CSV file with details about the warning or error messages.
If publishing is complete for a pay run, you can click Package Tracking, which becomes available when a pay run is marked as publishing complete:
The application then displays the package tracking details, including tracking number and a link to track the package, if available:
