To record a worked shift:

1. Go to Timesheets.
2. Select when and for whom you want to record a worked shift:

4. In this example, you’ve selected the cell for Bobby B Brooks, who forgot to clock in and record when he worked. The timesheet marks that Bobby was scheduled but didn’t work by labeling the cell with a red circle icon (), one of the icons it uses to label the different situations that can occur. See Timesheet Icons.
3. Click the link schedule icon (). Dayforce opens a dialog box where you can add the shift details:

5. Depending on how your application is configured, you might see the employee’s primary job, the default meals or breaks, and the shift’s default start and end time and default meal/break times.
4. If needed, adjust the shift details using the associated drop-down lists in the dialog box.
5. For example, you can change the shift’s location in the drop-down list next to the locations icon ().
5. (Optional) Select the job assignment the employee worked during the shift in the drop-down list. By default, Dayforce uses the employee’s primary job. Employees with only one qualified job can't be assigned a different job assignment.
6. Enter the worked shift’s start time in the first field, next to the shift start icon () or use the right and left arrows to adjust the time:
7. 
7. Enter the worked shift’s end time in the last field, next to the shift end icon () or use the right and left arrows to adjust the time:
8. 
8. Enter the shift’s meals and breaks, if any, next to the meal and break icons ().
9. If the shift doesn’t have any meals or breaks, or you want to record another, click the add meal icon (). If you want to add a break, click the arrow next to the add meal icon, and then select Add Break in the drop-down list. You can modify the start and end time for the meal or break after it’s added to the shift:

11. Note: If you’re adding a worked shift on a day the employee was scheduled to work, these times default to the scheduled times.
10. (Optional) Click the on-call icon () to indicate the employee was called in to work the shift.
11. Depending on how Dayforce is configured, employees can be paid premiums for shifts that they were called in to work. Employees might also be entitled to earn pay for a minimum amount of time if they work a called-in shift, regardless of the length of the shift.
12. These details are determined in the payroll configuration of Dayforce to mirror your organization’s policies (if any) regarding called-in shifts.
11. (Optional) Enter any comments in the text field at the bottom of the dialog box.
12. Click OK. Dayforce closes the dialog box and adds the shift to the timesheet.
13. Click Save.
