In all honestly I don’t know a situation where Ceridian Powerpay would not be appropriate to use. I have used it at a company with 12 employees, and at a company with 100 employees. The system works great regardless of company size and the benefits significantly outweigh any (if any) negatives.
I only have experience with the system in the hospitality industry but it covered all our needs and more that I can only imagine that would apply to other industries as well.

Pros
benefitexpress
  • Its versatile software overcomes any issues between restricted abilities of cell phones
  • And significant distance from the remote cloud to the versatile clients, by sending portable applications on the cloud to the clients. In this software, there is no third party that increases its security and makes it secured software.
  • It can work efficiently in the time of overload as compared to other clouds.

  • Customer Support is Horrible
  • They over bill you for everything and ignore cancellation requests
  • They don't listen to what you need or want, they slip in cancellation clauses and charge you for inactive employees throughout the year.
  • They leave one person in charge of your account and should that person go on leave you are stuck waiting until that person gets back (including personal leaves that lasted 2 months)

Generally, Ceridian Powerpay support is strong, with the edge given to the telephone staff, which is prompt and always helpful. When I have had to reach out via telephone, I am greeted quickly and provided with a quick resolution to my issue. The email support leaves a bit to be desired, though, as my experience with change requests result in long waits for confirmation and completion, with some instances not even being given a resolution to an issue without requiring additional follow-up. I shouldn’t have to stay on top of the support in addition to providing the details needed, and it should just get done.

Return on Investment
benefitexpress
  • Overall it is the best software regarding the user experience of using cellphones services. It also lessens the workload of the cellphone.
  • It is software that provides the best computing resources.
  • This software provides satisfaction against sensitive cellphone applications. It can also be used in bundles of different fields.
  • Other mobile services are failed to provide satisfaction in rush time but BCEdge software has overcome this issue and provides the best services with easy-to-use tools and options.

  • 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).
