Copy Timesheets

Before You Begin: Depending on your configuration, you might not see the Copy drop-down list in the Manager Timesheet toolstrip. In this case, the options typically available in the Copy drop-down list are available in the weekly information card menu above the employee’s timesheets. See Load by Pay Period.

To populate timesheets using pre-existing data:

  1. Go to Manager Timesheet and load the relevant timesheet.
  2. Click Copy and select an option:
    • To copy the previous week’s timesheet to the current week, click Copy Previous Period.
    • To populate the timesheet using the employee's schedule or assigned shift rotation, select Use Default Times. When an employee is scheduled to work, Dayforce populates the timesheet using their schedule. When they aren’t, it populates based on their shift rotation.

To copy and paste the time segments of an entire day:

  1. Click the row for the day that you want to copy, click the down arrow, and select Copy Day.
  2. Click the row for the day that you want to paste to, click the down arrow, and select Paste Day. Pasting the day adds the same hours, start time, end time, and pay adjustments from the copied day to the new day.

If there’s already time logged in the day you’re pasting into, it’s replaced by the new data.
