Assign Tasks

In Task Checklist, you can assign employees to the tasks that need to be completed at the location you manage. By recording which employees have been asked to perform the task, or a portion of the task, and how many hours they’ve been assigned to work on it, you’re providing feedback to your management team that initially created the task.

Tasks can be configured to impact your location’s schedule by altering the labor demand curve shown in Schedules to help guide you or another user who creates your location’s schedule.

To assign tasks to employees:

1. Go to Task Checklist, click Load, and select the location and date range for the task that you want to load.
2. Click Load.
3. Select a task. Dayforce shows the task’s details:
4. 
4. In the Assigned Employees, section click Add.
5. Note: Dayforce doesn’t show the Assigned Employees section for tasks that you have to schedule employees to work using Schedules. If you don’t see the Assigned Employees section, you or another user with access needs to schedule employees to work the task. See Add Meals, Breaks, Activities, and Tasks.
5. Configure the following settings:
   1. Employee: Select the employee that you want to assign to the task.
   2. Start Date: Enter the task’s start date.
   3. Start Time, End Time: Enter the task’s start and end times.
6. Click Save.

Depending on how the task is configured, you might be unable to assign employees to the task on or after the task’s start date. Additionally, you might be unable to assign the employee to more than the task’s budgeted hours.
