This field is not mandatory, but the system assumes Day Number 7 when the Day Number entered is 0. Certified Payroll Reports are not generated, but Employees do receive paychecks.

If Worker’s Compensation rates, Pay rates, and Deductions and Benefits have been set up using Date Sensitivity functionality, then time should be entered by Day Number.
