O-6-903 Pay Adjustment Types Tipsheet
This tipsheet describes the various types of pay adjustments that may be used within an employee's timesheet in Dayforce. The employee themselves does not have access to adding a pay adjustment; these are always added by management or payroll.
Time entries for employees who are on leave using FMLA or MLT will be handled by the payroll account manager. Managers do not need to make pay adjustment or Time Away From Work (TAFW) entries for these employees.
NOTE: Pay adjustment types related to TAFW, Honor Hours Payout, or Paid Leave Time Payout will typically not be used, as the employee will submit requests for these items on their end without the need for a pay adjustment being used. The option of using a pay adjustment for these types of items would only be used by the manager or by payroll as an exception to the established employee process.
