We are a small business - and even though we are small and don't make near use of all of the options in the program, I love it because all my remitting is done for me, all the calculating, all the vacation pay, holiday pay, overtime, everything is kept track of really well and I don't have to worry about missing information if I was to do this myself. I also love the direct deposit options and my employees love it and the paystubs and the ability to put messages on their paystubs! I honestly can't think of a scenario where Dayforce Powerpay wouldn't be suitable!! I wouldn't change companies, even if it saved me money as I love all the functions, the information and the ease of ROE and T4's.

Employment Hero is perfect for small- to medium-sized businesses that are looking for an easy-to-implement, constantly developing platform that is not high-cost. The platform is constantly evolving and in some areas is lightyears ahead of other platforms. Unfortunately, for larger businesses, it is probably not there yet. As much as we love the product, we also have ongoing issues with data security (data going missing and then having to be restored by Employment Hero) and customer service and support (their AI support reliance is horrible; you just have to decide if you can live with that because phone support is poor and there is no direct ticketing system anymore). Workflows are also simple, but probably not advanced enough for larger businesses who rely on them for more efficiencies.

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.

Powerpay exceeds my expectations: it's easy to use and does not 'eat' my time by wondering what the end result will be. I can see what each employee's pay statement will look like before I submit the payroll for processing. Monthly processing fees are not exorbitant and the service from support it top notch, quick and awesome when you need it! What's not to like? It's a terrific company to have on your side!

Dayforce is easy to use and intuitive. When things are less familiar, the chat support is speedy and friendly, so I never have to worry or struggle to figure something out. Once support shows me how to do something, it is easy to remember and not need help next time.

The Manager experience is cumbersome and often requires HR admim support. Employees have severe issues with logging in and 2FA verification via the App. Platform updates are rolled out without notice. User guides are often out of date and support is severely lacking. Obvious HR functions are not available and suggestions in forums seemingly are not acknowledged

I have never experienced application errors or unplanned outages. I do know that I could phone Dayforce Powerpay and give them hours and other deductions and they would do the payroll and I could either have them deliver the completed payroll by courier (there are small extra charges for this) or I could download the completed payroll on pay day. I have also been able to complete payroll our payroll at home instead of at the office. Dayforce is very accessible by phone or online.

Pages online load in seconds. Click and it's instantly there! I have never had pages not loading properly or taking time to load. Payroll reports also downloads quickly. We do not interface Dayforce Powerpay with anything else

Regardless the issue, the Customer Support team is offering outstanding services! When I am calling, the wait time is reasonable, and the team members will ensure you receive the right support in a timely manner, with politeness and kindness. If you reach out the team that it's a guarantee that your issue will be solved!

Employment Hero, despite all of the good things, is held back by how bad its customer support is. To start with, they have no ticketing system. There is no way for you to just log a ticket about something that needs fixing and walk away. Every time you need support, you have to waste time negotiating with their AI or going through their tedious phone support process, only for the ticket to be logged anyway. Their AI is also a nightmare. You ask it to log a ticket, and it doesn't understand, you ask to talk to a person, and it will ask you to provide it with more details so it can try to help you first. It is a real pain. The phone support people almost never solve your problem when you get through to them. They just end up logging a ticket anyway; so that's kind of pointless to have. Outside of that, you have to really like reading to self-support yourself. Because, Employment Hero has nearly no help videos or how to videos. Almost everything is words on a page. Even the videos they do have can't be linked to your induction or sent out to staff.

I have used Powerpay before (at a previous employer) but a few years had elapsed. I had a quick online training session (less that 30 minutes) to recover basic knowledge and I was away. I still from time to time have to do something that i am not quite sure of and pick up the phone! Every one that works at Ceridian - now Dayforce - have been able to answer my question and tell me where to go in the program, click on what and do what I need to do. The support is out-of-this-world good!

I initiated the implementation. I answered all the questions I was asked, prepared the documentation and sent it off and it was done! Quickly, efficiently and done well!

Being able to remit payroll directly to CRA reduces the number of steps in payroll processing. It also means that there is no way for us to forget a remittance. This is important to us because it's all-in-one software. I did like that QB would have the entry directly there so that I don't need to record it.

Pretty standard contract terms. Unit pricing is about 30% less than the previous provider - service is about 150% better with Dayforce Powerpay that with the previous provider! We are billed twice per month as we do payroll twice per month.

We have a small staff of less than 20 employees. We moved our payroll from a previous provided because of terrible and expensive service. Dayforce is much, much easier to use and costs about 30% less than the previous provider. Dayforce Powerpay also seem to have people that speaks clearly and are efficient in everything they do so that less time is wasted by phone calls that has you on hold for 3 hours!

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).
