Ceridian Powerpay - my payroll best friend
- Very intuitive and user friendly interface.
- Automatic ROEs and T4s.
- Customizing your payroll needs whether that be tips, commission, extra deductions, dual pay rates, etc.
- Their support is extremely helpful, although rarely needed.
- Would be great if you could search for specific ROEs in the system rather than having to go into each individual pay period package to locate - especially when there may be 10+ ROEs.
- Being able to customize our payroll - having customized deductions, dual pay rates, option to add tips.
- Ease of creating ROEs & T4s.
- Accurate reporting and ability to review previous payrolls going back years.
- User friendly interface which allows other users to learn for “just in case” scenarios.

- The return on investment has been substantial for our company. Having a payroll system that calculates everything for you, processes important documents, and only takes minimal time and effort allows us to focus more time on running the business and generating revenue.
- Instead of having a user spend half a day (or potentially a full day) processing payroll, it only takes a couple hours (obviously depending on how many employees need to be processed).
- Ceridian Powerpay simplifies the payroll process, very little manual work involved during each payroll run.
- Ceridian Powerpay is mostly an intuitive interface with easy to understand workflows to allow for multiple users to be able to use the system if required.
- Reports could be more robust. You can pull reports from Ceridian Powerpay, but they are often relatively necessary and not useful for more advanced analysis and filtering, which would have to be done manually.
- Changes to the system cannot always be completed on your own and require intervention from Ceridian via support. While this meant as a safety feature so that it doesn’t compromise the setup of your company, more advanced users should be able to use this without intervention/support.
