Steps

  1. Authenticate to the Dayforce Identity token endpoint using the Web Services account credentials to obtain a bearer access token, as with any Dayforce Web Services call.
  2. Call the RESTful Get Employee Pay Summaries endpoint, scoped by pay period or XRefCode, to retrieve per-employee gross-to-net summary totals for a processed payroll run.
  3. Call the RESTful Get Employee Pay Adjustments endpoint to retrieve any adjustment-level detail (e.g., off-cycle corrections) tied to that same pay run.
  4. Cross-reference the returned records against your general ledger account mapping, since Dayforce returns pay summary and adjustment data rather than pre-coded GL journal lines.
  5. Use the documented paging mechanism to page through results when reconciling a full company payroll run rather than a single employee.
  6. Re-run the pay summary call after any correction run, since adjustment data can post against a prior pay period after the original summary was first retrieved.
