The Pay Run Management tab includes the Quick Entry sub-tab, where you can create quick entries for employees in the pay run that you've loaded. 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.
Examples of quick entries can include entering employee bonus amounts, returning funds from deductions that were incorrectly applied in a prior pay period, entering new deductions that should be taken off the current pay period. Quick entries directly impact the employee's pay for the current pay run. When you enter 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 enter as a quick entry. For example, you can enter 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 you 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 entered as quick entries.
The Quick Entry sub-tab of the Pay Run Management tab has the same basic functionality as the Quick Entry tab of the Data Entry tab, except in Data Entry, you can create quick entries across pay runs, pay groups, and countries. See The Quick Entry Sub-Tab (Data Entry).
