The Navajo Nation Department of Personnel Management and Payroll Team would like to inform all employees that the Dayforce Payroll go-live has been postponed to late June 2026. During this interim period, all other HR functions, including time and attendance, will continue to be managed within Dayforce.
As the Navajo Nation moves toward full payroll implementation, the Nation will transition from the use of paper timesheets to capturing time directly in Dayforce through a phased rollout. During this transition period, paper timesheets will continue to be used to verify Dayforce entries and help ensure the accuracy of employee time records.
All employees are required to verify their time on every Employee Timesheet and complete any needed updates to their address, tax forms, dependents, beneficiaries, and contact information under their employee tasks in Dayforce. These items directly affect payroll withholdings and tax information and must be reviewed for accuracy.
Supervisors and managers are required to review and authorize timesheets for all pay periods beginning with PPE January 9, 2026, through the current pay period. Supervisors and managers must also ensure that any overtime is preapproved in accordance with the Navajo Nation Personnel Policies Manual (NNPPM) before authorizing payment.
The Payroll/DPM Team will provide confirmation of the specific pay period end date for full payroll implementation once system testing has been completed.
For further information and for guidance on what exactly to review, please see the attached document. For any additional questions, please contact the Department of Personnel Management at (928) 357-6697.
Thank you for your continued patience, cooperation, and support throughout this transition.
