In Manager Timesheet, you can record your employees’ worked time on their behalf.
Depending on how the employee’s time entry policy configuration, Dayforce shows different options and methods for recording worked time.
| Time Entry Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Record specific start and end times for shift segments |
Access and configuration: In Pay Setup > Time Entry Policy in the Time Capture tab, in the Timesheets section, the Start and End Time Entry checkbox is selected. With this configuration, duration timesheets show the Start and End fields where users must enter the start and end times for each portion of a shift:
Further, when the Start and End fields are available, the Add New Shift option is also available in the drop-down menu when users select a timesheet row. Users can use the Add New Shift option to record a second shift if an employee works more than one shift in a day. |
| Record durations of shift segments |
Access and configuration: In Pay Setup > Time Entry Policy in the Time Capture tab, in the Timesheets section, the Start and End Time Entry checkbox is cleared. With this configuration, duration timesheets show only the Hours field where users must enter the total duration for each portion of a shift:

Add Secondary Shifts
If employees work more than one shift in a day, you can record a second shift by selecting the appropriate timesheet row and, in the drop-down menu, selecting Add New Shift.
Important: Remember, depending on your organization’s time entry policy configuration, the Add New Shift option might be unavailable.
Dayforce inserts a new row for the shift, and the start time defaults to the end time of the shift immediately before it. For example, if one shift is already scheduled from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and you add another shift to the same day with a duration of four hours, Dayforce sets the start time of the new shift to 2:00 PM and the end time to 6:00 PM.
