We were able to reduce the size of the payroll team by 40% due to the amazing automation and paperless workflows. We purchased the entire suite with the exception of one that I am not involved with. It is great to have all the data on one platform reducing the amount of integrations needed with outside vendors.

Off cycle payments has always been such a pain point at Visionworks. Now that we can process separate runs without additional costs, we are able to direct deposit to associate accounts instead of processing live checks or pay card loads.

My team is able to have more of a work/life balance and don't work anywhere near the overtime on the previous product. I would highly recommend Dayforce to anyone looking for a solid solution to all of their business needs.
  • Retro Process
  • Off Cycle Runs
  • Automation
  • Paperless
  • There is no audit trail on who originally built Schedules. I would like to see who initially created it in addition to who updated it.
  • Reporting - being able to run across the entire organization without choosing a pay group.
  • Reporting - being able to make selections in the order they appear on the page without back tracking and changing the parameters. Dayforce defaults back on the time period instead of maintaining that information.
The paperless workflows and configuration allowed us to automate a lot of manual processes we had previously.

  • Ceridian Dayforce is used by our organization for workforce management in the retail stores. As a time management tool, it allows us to schedule employees, track hours worked and PTO taken. We use it to report labor in relation to sales per hour.
  • It addresses compliance issues - setting up all rules required by states to pay employees accurately and to pay premium hours when in violation of any rules.
  • It allows employees to swap time. It is web-based, so access is readily available and communication can take place between employee and manager.
  • The reporting module is used for PTO accruals and all types of personnel analysis.
  • Track Time and Attendance - easy to use and set up new codes.
  • Audit Trail - the ability to see who did what when is clear for when you are not able to actually speak to someone.
  • Reporting - would like some shortcuts and to know where the data is being pulled from.
  • Ability to go between a person in MyHR to the timesheet
  • Prompts when programming changes to make sure you hit all the areas required. Example, If adding a new part-time sick policy, you are not told that you must add the locations to the mapping table for it to work. All instructions were missing that.
Ceridian Dayforce was specially created for retail and it is set up well to accommodate adding numerous locations and changing organizations easily. On the flip side, setting up complex entitlements can not be programmed in Dayforce. Recently we changed our vacation accrual from accruing over 12 months to 10 months with the exception of year 1. The system could not do this and we manually have to add the accruals for months 11 and 12.

Ceridian Dayforce is being used globally across the entire organization for self-service for employees and managers, payroll, HR, time tracking, time off, reporting HCM, etc., and we absolutely love it!! The workflows make life easier for processes, the roles for security and self-service features are a life saver.
  • Payroll
  • Timesheets
  • Time away
  • Benefits
  • New hire on boarding
  • Workflows
  • Security
  • Accuracy
  • The approval process of manual entries. We use this for restricted stock vesting and having to manually approve every single entry one by one needs to be fixed
  • Silverlight
  • Truly handle global companies. So when moving someone from one country to the next, we shouldn’t have to to term and hire in other pay group to avoid the person dropping off of reporting from the former pay group
Ceridian Dayforce has saved time, work hours and frustrations amongst admin users to CEO.

We use this across the whole organization. It controls time and attendance, payroll, benefits, performance reviews, onboarding paperwork, and i9 details. It's the best solution for a paperless work environment. It allows an employee's complete history record to be visible without pulling a file. It removes the time for filing documents and having to manually retrieve them.
  • Form data: it allows you to use system or custom made forms. Helps allow managers at store level submit paperless request.
  • Workflows: tied to a form, each workflow is custom with routing and notifications or conditions to ensure that what is submitted routes properly.
  • Onboarding: allows for quick visibility to where progress is and who has completed.
  • Forms to be mobile friendly
  • Guided processes that can be edited after being published.
  • Performance management to allow edits within qualifiers after posted.
The solution to better process and on-time viability to employee data is great in this system. Could it have some areas improved, yes! And they are always updating to improve processes. Coming from where all data was entered manually to using Dayforce now. So much time saved and fewer data errors.

Global time and attendance, and Candian/US payroll
  • User Interface: modern look
  • Reporting: mostly front end, easy for users
  • Reporting is slow, needs more reporting on configuration changes/audits.
  • Browser errors are annoying, no description of what the error means.
  • Need admin capability from the mobile app.
Dayforce is a good tool for time and attendance and an overall solution when you are using for HCM. When you are interfacing from another system it is not as flexible for data mapping as that functionality is limited to certain fields only which is disappointing. For Dayforce to be a global solution there needs to be more flexibility from an integration perspective.

Dayforce is used by the entire organization. The organization is broken into three entities. I manage the 1099 entity. While it did not address any problems for my entity it did for the other two entities. Dayforce saved our company money by being able to handle benefits and all other payroll processing under one umbrella.
  • Allows the flexibility to bill each of our entities separately.
  • Allow our W2 entities to handle benefits and payroll processing through one vendor.
  • Dayforce simplified the 1099 processing for us.
  • The transferring of employees between the three entities has caused us a lot of problems. This area needs a lot of improvement.
  • The use of FEIN versus SSN needs to be more user-friendly.
  • We have to make sure a special script is run every time there is a new release so we can continue processing our 1099s because the code is not part of the product. This keeps us on edge and concerned that we may not be able to pay our 1099 independent contractors based on our contract.
Dayforce is well suited for companies that process W2s and simple commission processing.

We use it as our HRIS and Payroll platform. The entire company uses it for payroll and managing leaves, and PTO. In my opinion, we are not leveraging a lot of the system despite selection 4 years ago. We are still trying to maximize usage and work smarter.
  • Support
  • Development
  • Communication
  • It takes time for us to match up with the right analyst to help us close tickets.
  • I think new users should be auto-scheduled for training.
  • I think xoxo and the actual platform should be merged into a single sign-on system.
From a payroll perspective, it is easy to commit payroll. However, reporting could be easier and usage below the HR level could be less intimidating.

Payroll is the best system and a powerful tool. It allows us to manage all of our sites and to have everyone on electronic timesheets. The drawbacks include the recruitment module. It does not have a lot of the standard features found in competitive ATS systems.

  • It has brought her multiple learning platforms into one location.
  • It has a very user-friendly mobile app that you are able to use as a time clock for your hourly employees.
  • Some of the features that I am not able to do at this time is pulling training records with durations in reports.

We use the HR functionality but not all modules currently. We may adapt some later. It is used across our whole US organization. We use the Payroll module also to pay our employees. This includes using Tax Services and Payment Solutions. We are not using the WFM currently but may in the future.
  • Dayforce is quite an intuitive system. We find that it cuts down on paperwork due to the Self Service features. It helped enormously during Open Enrollment.
  • Ceridian keeps their systems up to date. They are always sending me emails for hot-fixes to address problems that were brought up by the user community.
  • I am especially please on the compliance side. They keep the system up to date.
  • Reporting is lacking somewhat. The canned reports aren't as helpful as they should be. You are constantly making additions and changes to their reports to fit your needs.

It works well for our organization so far. We haven't been with it too long but we have been with Ceridian for a long time as a customer.

1. Self Service is a great tool.

2. Payroll is easy to enter and get results quickly.

3. I personally don't like the Benefits module. It requires a lot of learning.

We use it for recruiting, onboarding, benefit mgmt, WFM & payroll. We have started expanding on forms and made our hiring process paperless. Payroll increases are submitted via forms.
  • They are constantly building on modules to improve them.
  • Case tickets, support does not thoroughly read tickets.
  • The Support team needs more collaboration within other modules, the clock & applications.
Looks like they are building more around CA laws, like meal waivers.

Dayforce HCM is currently being used for one business unit and will be expanded to the whole company.
  • Fairly intuitive user interface
  • Mobile-friendly
  • Excellent WFM
  • The HTML migration is difficult- we are stuck using 2 browsers until all screens are ready (our company uses IE primarily and key admin screens are still Silverlight dependent even if users switch to Chrome; Firefox is not an available option).
  • It would be helpful to have a quick reference for the layout of materials in the Support Portal - so that new users could understand quickly where to find relevant documents. Ceridian offers robust documentation, which is a plus. After a year, however I’m still finding myself spending a lot of time searching for what I’m looking for.
  • Nothing else - thanks for the great product!
Dayforce is excellent for tracking time for hourly workers - something my company struggles with in our current system. Self-service options are also very easy for users, and the ability to access the system with a mobile app is a strength. Finally, between XOXO, Dayforce Live Education Center, and the Support Portal there is plenty of documentation and training for admin users, this is also a strength and a big help when new users start learning the system.

Dayforce is currently used firmwide as a personnel info/self service tool, WFM, open enrollment, onboarding and recruiting. Dayforce has allowed for us to automate several of our processes to significantly decrease the amount of manual hours of work is needed to take place.
  • Highly captures a large amount of information.
  • Highly intuitive if all rules are set
  • Has several offerings for different areas
  • Too costly
  • Not enough time spent with customer service
  • Luck of draw of who you get with customer service and if they know the area to be able to assist.

  • Keeps their user base informed on industry trends and alerts while catering to your own industry and particular account needs
  • Conversion from Silverlight to HTML5 has been challenging. Several new features do not seem to have been thoroughly tested before being release to customers. Critical bugs are being reported by the user community that should have been caught and re-mediated prior to public release.

It is used by 100% employees minimally, but by about 60% for all HR, WFM, benefits, payroll, and self service features. Dayforce allows us to not only handle but develop, streamline, and maintain most all HR, payroll, recruiting, and talent management processes. We have been able to leverage its technological advances to become a more effective HR department. Our goal is to grow from an administrative department to a strategic business partner for operations, and Dayforce is helping us do that.
  • Ever expanding features
  • One stop shop
  • Real time updates
  • Support system for clients
  • Training and development for clients
  • Releases are too quick with fixes coming after rather than before rollouts
I really like Ceridian. I like the customization capabilities, I like its evolving nature. However, my boss and other management executives may not see it the same way. I think they may be used to other vendor's strategies where they have a hand holding rep that is dedicated to the client.

Dayforce HCM is being used in our division in the US and Canada. We utilize Dayforce for payroll, benefits, self-service, document management, ATS, and onboarding.
  • Dayforce calculates payroll well for both the US and Canada. The smartphone app is also helpful and enables the company to send messages to employees.
  • We took a step backward with the Dayforce timekeeping system in comparison to our previous provider. This is especially true for working with entitlements.
  • The ATS and Onboarding modules have a lot of room for improvement.
  • Dayforce is more geared for Canada and is not user-friendly for US compliance reports such as the EEO-1 reporting.
Dayforce payroll is improved over the previous Ceridian payroll system. However, the modules we purchased such as ATS, Onboarding, and Timekeeping are a disappointment compared to other US products.
