Dashboards include attendance, absenteeism, and unplanned overtime metrics. The product also aligns time worked by salaried project-based employees to projects for labor allocation against general ledgers. Its iOS app supports schedule and shift viewing, coworker messaging, and shift trade decisions; trades between locations are unavailable in the mobile app. Dayforce says its regional predictive scheduling rule can help manage fair workweek requirements.
