Quick Answer

Supervisors are responsible for reviewing, correcting, and authorizing team member timesheets each week to ensure payroll accuracy, legal compliance, and proper recording of time worked, meals, breaks, and overtime.

Supervisor Weekly Timesheet Authorization Procedures

Follow these steps to review and authorize your team’s time in Dayforce:

1. Log in to Dayforce (Manager Role)

   • Access Dayforce using your Manager role.

   • From the Main Menu, navigate to “Time Review.”

2. Load the Correct Pay Week

   • Confirm you are reviewing the current and correct pay week before making any approvals.

3. Review Each Team Member’s Time Entries
   Expand each team member’s timesheet and review for:

   • Missed or incorrect punches

   • Overtime accuracy

   • Proper meal and rest break recording

   • Any pending exception or correction requests

4. Resolve Any Errors or Corrections

   • Make necessary corrections directly in the timesheet.

   • Instruct the team member to review and authorize (or reauthorize) their time after corrections are made.

5. Authorize the Timesheet

   • Once the timesheet is accurate and complete, click “Authorize” for each team member.

6. Alternate Access Option

   • The same review and authorization steps can also be completed by navigating to “Timesheets” from the main menu.

Best Practice Tip

Set a daily reminder to review your team’s time entries throughout the week. Regular review helps prevent errors and ensures that Saturday approval is quick, accurate, and compliant.

Why Supervisor Authorization Matters

Supervisor authorization:

• Confirms payroll data is accurate before processing

• Ensures compliance with wage and hour laws

• Verifies required meal and rest breaks were taken and recorded

• Reduces payroll corrections and reprocessing

• Protects both team members and the Company

Failure to properly review or authorize timesheets may result in payroll errors, compliance risks, and corrective action.
