Before You Begin: Depending on how Dayforce is configured, you might not see all of the options or settings described here. For more information, see your system administrator.
You can enter the hours employees worked against different projects in Manager Timesheet:
The information that you need to enter on the timesheet when recording time against projects is described below.
Job Assignment
In the Job Assignment drop-down list, select the job assignment to record the specified hours against. Dayforce lists only the job assignments you the employee is qualified to perform. The job assignment you select must be eligible to work the project you are logging time against.
Project
In the Project drop-down list, select the project to record time against. Projects are used to track what employees were working on during their shift. They can represent recurring tasks, like quarterly inventories, specific initiatives like opening a new location, or any effort or group of tasks that your location tracks labor against.
Depending on how your instance of Dayforce is configured, projects might show up differently when you click the Project field. There are two types of project views: the standard view and hierarchical view.
- Standard View: The Project field shows a drop-down list of the child projects the employee has access to:
-
- Hierarchical View: This view is shown when the Show Projects in Hierarchical View checkbox is selected in the Options dialog box. See View Options.
- When enabled, the Project field contains a project icon (
) which you can click to view projects in a hierarchy. The hierarchy shows all parent projects and their child projects that the employee has access to. You can also use the search field to search for projects in large hierarchies: -
- Additionally, when this view is enabled and you select a child project, Dayforce shows the child project and its top-level parent project in the Project field. In the following screenshot, the Planning project is selected and shown with the Renovations parent project, which is at the top of the hierarchy:
-
Docket
In the Docket drop-down list, select the docket to record project time against. Dockets are used in Dayforce to track logged time against some quantity of work produced.
Pay Code
In the Pay Code drop-down list, select the pay code to record project time against. Pay codes represent the work employees were performing for the submitted period of time.
Manager Comment
(Optional) Enter any comments in the Manager Comment field.
To record time against different jobs, projects, dockets and pay codes, you can add additional rows to the weekly timesheet. On each row, you can specify a different combination of jobs, projects, dockets and pay codes to record the inputted hours against.
