O-6-402 Entry of On-Call Pay

👤 Role

Manager

⚠️  Must be logged in under the ‘Manager’ role in Dayforce


🎯 Purpose

On-call pay is paid to employees when they are on-call during the weekend or on a weeknight. This pay is entered into the employee’s timesheet in Dayforce as a time adjustment and is a flat rate as identified in the document Appendix A Reimbursement Rates, which can be found in the HR policies folder.

NOTE

The “On-Call” pay adjustment entered is not reflective of the actual time worked while the employee is on-call, as hourly time worked will be submitted and authorized separately as time punches within timesheets. Rather, the pay adjustment is a flat reimbursement compensating the employee for being on call and available to work if needed.


🔄 Process

  1. Logged in as a manager, navigate to “Timesheets”.

    Employees’ timesheets listed will default to your own team, except for Area Managers, for whom employee timesheets will default to include all branch employees.

  2. Within Timesheets, locate and select the date associated to the date the employee was on-call and employee you are needing to enter into Dayforce.
  3. On that date, select the arrow beside the icon shown and choose “Add New Pay Adjustments” from the dropdown.

  4. A pop-up will open. From the dropdown, select the pay adjustment type “On-Call”.
  5. Enter the dollar amount by which the employee should be compensated for being on-call and available to work.

    NOTE

    This is not the employee’s actual time worked while on-call.

    Actual time worked while on-call is reflected in their time punches.

  6. Select the pay adjustment on the calendar and select “Authorize” to complete manager authorization of the time adjustment.

  7. Click “Save” to save the pay adjustment entry.
