Depending on how Dayforce is configured, you can enter the time employees spend working on different projects and dockets in Timesheets.
Note: If schedule transfer functionality is configured in your instance of Dayforce, you might have to record projects and dockets as segments for your shift. See Schedule Segments Overview.
What projects or dockets are tracked and how they are used in Dayforce depends on your organization’s needs. Typically, projects can represent any amount of related work and tasks (for example, taking inventory, performing audits, or new marketing campaigns). Dockets are usually associated with quantifiable work, used to track the amount of work employees produce against different categories, such as the quantities produced in different assembly lines, or the number of covers wait staff served during their shift.
Both projects and dockets can be used to help further describe what employees worked on. Entering worked time against projects, dockets, or both, can help your organization in a variety of ways for budgeting and planning, and can impact how employees are paid.
Dayforce can be used to manage projects by assigning budgets and due dates for each, and tracking their completion. If your organization is managing projects in Dayforce, it helps track how much time, organization-wide, was spent working on various projects. For accuracy, you must enter the time spent working on different projects.
Entering time against dockets, and the quantity produced, can have an impact on how employees are paid. Depending on your organization’s needs, Dayforce can be configured so that employees are paid some piece rate for each quantity of work produced in different dockets, such as an extra fifty cents for each assembled unit produced in a manufacturing plant.
