In the Earnings section, click on Earnings Statement. Choose the specific pay period or pay date you want to review from the list provided.
Step 4: Generate and download the PDF
In the slide-out panel for your selected pay period, click the Print icon, typically located at the top right of the statement view. Dayforce will indicate that a PDF is being generated.
