Skip a pay period

Do you need to advise Dayforce if you will have no wages paid in a pay period? Yes.

Under normal circumstances, wages will be paid to staff each pay period of the year. However, some businesses may have situations where there is no work performed. For example, a plant shut down for two weeks over the holiday season. In these cases a pay period will be skipped and for EI purposes the ROE must show a blank pay period.

Contact your Customer Support Team for assistance to amend your pay period information and update your EI history.

For payrolls using the Time Off Request module

When a regular pay period is skipped, employees are not paid for approved time off requests allocated to that pay period and the entitlement balances are not adjusted. All time off requests (approved and pending) must be cancelled before requesting assistance from your Customer Support Team to skip the pay period.
