🎯 PURPOSE

Hourly office employees and salaried non-exempt employees use the Dayforce Time Clock to record their time worked in real time using a digital clock to collect their time punches. This assists in accurate record-keeping of time entries including breaks, lunches, and clocking in and out of the workday to ensure that employees are paid accurately for their time worked.

      • You may close out of the Dayforce application while the clock is running; this will not cause any issues. The Time Clock will continue to run until you re-enter the Time Clock and clock out for a meal, break, or the end of your shift.

1. To clock out for a meal, select Shift Options.

   

2. Select Meal Start. Your status will update.
