The Data Entry tab of Payroll includes the Quick Entry sub-tab, where you can create quick entries across pay runs, pay groups, and countries. You can use quick entries to modify the amount of earnings, deductions, and taxes that should be paid to, or deducted from, employees so that these amounts accurately reflect what employees have earned, have had deducted, and have paid in taxes.
Quick entries allow you to record an employee's bonus amount, return funds from a deduction that was incorrectly applied in a prior pay period, record a new deduction that should be taken off this pay period, and have the result directly impact the employee's pay for the current pay run. When you record a $500 bonus as a quick entry, the employee is paid the additional amount once you commit pay.
If your organization uses Dayforce as a workforce management (WFM) solution you might (depending on configuration) have access to modify an employee's time and attendance records on the timesheet to reflect some of the changes you would otherwise record as a quick entry. For example, you can record that an employee worked an additional eight hours during a pay period as a quick entry or you can edit their time and attendance records and add the additional worked shift.
However, if you aren’t using the application's WFM features, or do not need to update the employee's time and attendance records, you can record this information as a quick entry instead. Any changes to deductions or taxes must be recorded as quick entries.
The Quick Entry sub-tab of the Data Entry tab has the same basic functionality as the Quick Entry sub-tab of the Pay Run Management tab, except in Pay Run Management, you can only work on pay entries for the pay run that you have loaded. See The Quick Entry Sub-tab.
