Employee Pay Summary Report

Run the Employee Pay Summary Report in Timesheets to summarize pay information for multiple locations at once. Depending on your access, the report can be run for the entire organization, a region, district, or specific location, and will summarize the pay information for the selected locations.

You can filter the report by departments and pay categories and sort by employee name, number, organization, or department, depending on how you configure the report.

Note: To include overlapping premiums in this report, enable the Include Overlapping Premium client property. This setting is located in System Admin > Client Properties in the Properties tab, in the Timesheet section.

Employee Pay Summary Report settings
Setting Description
Organization

Use the org picker to select which locations to report on.

When you click the org picker icon (), Dayforce shows an enhanced org picker that functions slightly differently than the legacy org picker. See Org Pickers in the Getting Started with Dayforce guide.

Date

The time period you want to report on:

  • Date Range: Pick a specific date range to report on.
  • Selected Period: Pick a single pay period to report on.
  • Note: Selected Period is enabled only if you select a single pay group for the report. With more than one pay group selected, this option isn’t enabled and you should specify a date range instead.
Include unpaid hours

Include unpaid hours in the report. By default, unpaid hours aren’t included.

In cases where the Include unpaid Hours checkbox conflicts with the Pay Category setting, this setting takes priority. This means that in cases where this checkbox is selected but the unpaid pay category isn’t specified in the Pay Category field, the report still includes unpaid hours.

Show hours in full precision Show time using decimal values that aren’t rounded. If you don’t enable this or the Show hours in HH:MM setting, the report shows times as decimal values rounded to two decimal places.
Show hours in HH:MM Show time using hours and minutes rather than decimal values. If you don’t enable this or the Show hours in full prevision setting, the report shows times are decimal values rounded to two decimal places.
Show Daily Details Report on daily totals per employee.
Show Time Entries Show the clock entries that employees performed each day. This option is enabled only when the Show Daily Details checkbox is selected.
Show Total By Job Dayforce totals the number of hours and amounts paid for each job. The totals are shown in a highlighted row.
Show Retros Summary

Show retros from previous transmitted periods in the current, open pay period.

Note: This option is enabled when you run the report for an open period for a single pay group using the Selected Period option. The option isn’t enabled if you select a transmitted period or use the Date Range option.

Employees

The employees included in the report. Select All Employees to include all employees in the report, or select Selected Employee to report on one employee only.

If you chose Selected Employee, click the Choose Employee button. Dayforce shows the Search dialog box where you can narrow your employee selection with several filters.
