O-6-403 Award a Bonus

👤 Role

Manager

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

🎯 Purpose

In Dayforce, bonuses may be paid to employees in timesheets using a pay adjustment.

This process gives instructions on how to add a bonus pay adjustment to specific employee.

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

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.
Within Timesheets, select a day within the employee’s week. If the bonus is associated to work on a specific date, select that date. Otherwise the bonus may be placed on Saturday of that week.
On that date, select the arrow beside the icon shown and choose “Add New Pay Adjustments” from the dropdown.
A pop-up will open. Complete the following field entries:
1. Select the pay adjustment type “Bonus Pay”.
2. Enter the dollar amount the employee should be compensated for the bonus.
3. Enter the reason for the bonus in the comment field.
4. Select “OK”.
Select the pay adjustment on the calendar and select “Authorize” to complete manager authorization of the time adjustment.
Click “Save” to save the pay adjustment entry.
