Retroactive Adjustments

Retroactive adjustments, commonly referred to as “retros,” are changes made to transmitted time and attendance records.

After a pay group’s records have been transmitted to payroll, Dayforce locks down the relevant time and attendance records on the timesheet for most users. Even though the pay period has been transmitted to payroll, some users can still make retroactive adjustments to employees’ time. Because any changes to these time and attendance records could impact how much employees should have been paid, access to make changes is limited.

On the timesheet, the retroactive pay adjustment icon () indicates users with retros:

Note:  Whether you can make changes to time and attendance records after the pay period has been transmitted to payroll depends on how Dayforce is configured. For more information, contact your system administrator.
