Pay Summary and Entitlement Tracers

In Timesheets, you can view how Dayforce processes both pay and balance transactions for your employees. You can review how Dayforce calculates pay for an employee based on the rules and qualifiers that are included in their pay policy assignment. You can also review how Dayforce processes balance transactions and grants employees their balance totals based on the rules and qualifiers that are included in their entitlement policy assignment.

With the appropriate access, you can click the Tracer button in the toolstrip to view this information.

I want to... What should I do? Description
Review how Dayforce paid an employee based on their pay policy assignment Click Tracer or Tracer > Pay, depending on your role access.

After you select a cell in the timesheets grid and click Tracer or Tracer > Pay, Dayforce opens the Analyze Pay Rules slide-out panel. In this slide-out panel, you can view a detailed analysis of the selected employee’s pay summary. The pay information that’s shown is an expanded version of the pay summary that’s available in the Pay panel of the Timesheets feature.

Dayforce shows the employees’ basic pay details for the selected day, based on the pay code and category segments that mark worked time, pay adjustments, and time away from work. Dayforce also marks which rules and qualifiers in the employee’s pay policy updated their earned pay, when applicable. You can also review the configuration for each rule and qualifier to troubleshoot pay issues.

See Pay Summary Tracer.

Review how Dayforce processed balance transactions for an employee based on their entitlement policy assignment Click Tracer > Balances.

After you select a cell in the timesheets grid and click Tracer > Balances, Dayforce opens the Entitlement Tracer slide-out panel. In this slide-out panel, you can view a detailed analysis of the selected employee’s balances. Users with appropriate access can view how Dayforce processes employee balances through the application’s entitlement engine.

You can select a balance and specify a period, and Dayforce shows every transaction that included the specified balance within that period for the employee. For transactions that were initiated by the Dayforce entitlement rule engine, you can click the transaction to view how the rules and qualifiers in the employee’s entitlement policy calculated the balance update. You can also review the configuration for each rule and qualifier to troubleshoot balance issues.
