Reviews
(151-175 of 266)Really good product that could be great someday
- The integration of the different modules is great.
- The ease of use for end-users and the Dayforce app are top-notch.
- Having most aspects of HR available in one place and easy to get to is very helpful.
- There are a lot of product gaps in the modules and core system that we've found. Some were counter to things we were told the system could do by Sales and our Implementation Analysts.
- Support is slow to respond to cases and, in some instances, give incorrect information. Sending a note after a couple of days that the issue is being researched and then not responding for a week isn't sticking to the SLA agreement.
- When issues are found with the system, or something breaks, we are charged to get it fixed. This seems like very poor customer service and nickel and diming the client.
- While having the AHA site available for client suggestions, a huge number of the ideas submitted are related to things a solid HCM system should be able to do. The fact that the system isn't capable of it now and the idea must be "voted on" to get in the pipeline is very frustrating. Especially when you see items that are no brainers stilling for years with no movement.
May the Dayforce be with you!
- Payroll - Dayforce has a comprehensive and yet easy to use payroll process. And now we don't have to be in the office to transmit payroll. Reports and downloads are available soon after commit.
- Multiple Work Assignments - for ease of allocation to different cost centers, and for ease in reporting employees may have multiple work assignments - different jobs, different locations, different rates of pay. This allows for less time making journal entries in financials and payroll and general ledger are the same.
- Tax and government reporting services - Ceridian has their own tax service which handles our tax filing, multi-work state reporting, unemployment wage reporting and new hire reporting with federal and state entities.
- Timekeeping is not their niche! Not all time collection devices have same options or functionality as far as what can be added or hidden by customer. Pay rules, especially around meals/breaks and entitlements (PTO) are not as flexible/customer defined as needed.
- Reporting is hard to understand and easily pull out what need without having an IT guru/database on board.
- License tracking is not as good as it was in prior Ceridian platform. Licenses, e.g. Registered Nurse are not able to be required when building a job/position. Not a good place in the employee record to track full license information including license number and both effective and expiration dates. Therefore, if an employee has an expired license they would not be able to be scheduled, or clock into work. Reporting on this is also a challenge.
Ceridian Dayforce makes life easy!
- The payroll module is very easy to use and processing happens quickly. You can immediately see the results and check an individual employees information to.
- Can check to that all deductions, taxes and earnings are processed correctly.
- The Benefits module is also a plus for Dayforce. Plans, enrollments and eligibility requirements can be set up quickly.
- Another strength for Ceridian Dayforce is that they are constantly improving their product and listening to their customers on their needs.
- The actual processing of benefits is a bit cumbersome, especially when an employee is making a change between plans. This also included the carrier feeds, which don't always work.
- The system has some latency issues.
- Support is not always helpful and with some issues, they are slow to resolve or provide a solution.
An HR/payroll system with lots of room for improvement
- It's a good self-service tool for employees and managers.
- Reliable connectivity.
- Customer support.
- Benefits administration is clunky and not user-friendly.
- The core HR module is not entirely user-friendly.
Ceridian Dayforce HCM
- Accurate timesheet records maintained by the system as well as the ability to manually make changes for unique situations that may occur for a single pay period.
- Multiple facets for auditing records and payroll runs for accuracy.
- Assistance and reference guides are easily accessible via email, online or over the phone. I've always had pleasant experiences in working with help center staff.
- Navigating the report builder (outside of the existing cached report options) can be challenging.
- It can take a lot of time and experience to really understand what one is seeing when working with the audit for a specific day's timesheet.
Ceridian Dayforce: A one-stop-shop for payroll needs!
- Accommodating complex payrolls.
- Customer service in urgent cases.
- Contact for our Customer Success Manager is readily available.
- Have more solutions that are corrected by customer support.
- Fewer cases being moved to Professional Services.
- The turnaround time with tax issues should be sped up.
- Turnaround time for Professional Services should be quicker.
Ceridian Dayforce -- A User's Perspective
- Payroll: because Ceridian Dayforce is able to customize its configuration to math both Union & Non-union work rules & pay practices.
- Benefits Administration: again because of the configuration flexibility available from a stellar team.
- Time & attendance tracking: it is an integrated solution.
- It takes way too much time in adding new functionality and not making the current functionality work smoothly.
- Nearly every release 'blows-up' some element of our instance, and we only discover it after some employee's pay or benefits are impacted.
- Support is not staffed adequately to handle the issues that arise -- they often are forced to hand off issues to the developers or professional services, just so we can be charged 'big bucks' to fix their issues.
- The benefits module costs more to maintain each year for open enrollment than it cost to set it up in the first place. A total 'bait & switch' blindsiding we never saw coming.
Ceridian Dayforce Review
- Reporting.
- Extremely user-friendly interface.
- Configuration.
- Support services.
- All-encompassing reports.
Neither For or Against
- Before Ceridian, we were using three different systems. One for payroll, one for time and attendance, and another for HR. We had to import data from one system to another so there was the potential of data dropping off. We were able to combine three systems into one with Dayforce.
- Clear and easy to use interface.
- Reporting issues. Pulling the wrong data from timesheets/payroll.
- System is slow and lags.
Banner school review
- Informative data
- Great implementation
- Easy to use
- A different person each time for customer assistance.
- Not helpful with integration that would only benefit one customer.
- More customers that are education-based.
My Recommendation for Ceridian.
- Easy to Import/Export data.
- Payroll is fast and easy.
- Templates are easy to create.
- Open access to system files.
- Allow automated reports to go to an FTP site instead of email accounts.
- Have better support to assist in XML, restful services and other tools. So far the support is not helpful or knowledgeable in those areas.
Payroll Manager Domestic and International
- Real time calculations when needed and the ability to test any new feature when they are rolled out in the Test Environment.
- The ability to calculate and run any number of payrolls and not be charged for each run. You pay only a monthly fee and can run any number you want to when you need to.
- Reporting has greatly improved and almost every item can be reported on.
- Training is provided for all levels of employee. Manager to clerk. It is available and it is comprehensive but very user friendly.
- Support is now greatly improved and you can reach your support team at all times
- You have an assigned Tax Consultant who can be reached and works on your issues when necessary
- Even though reporting is good it still needs a little more functionality. The training is good but it could be better
- The "AH HA" portal where ideas are shared and suggestions are made by clients could be acted upon sooner than they are. I have a suggestion that is coming up on it's 2nd birthday and has been marked that it will be considered for implementation. This area needs more resources applied here.
- They need to make the termination process work a bit more streamlined in that the time sheet should not be available to edit once the employee is marked terminated in the Dayforce profile.
Dayforce
- Dayforce provides alternate routes for communication between managers and their team members with conversations - Outside of your typical email.
- Dayforce is on its way to become more user friendly and less manual. Every upgrade I'm noticing more steps getting eliminated in certain processes and different sections in Dayforce are talking to each other.
- Dayforce is on it's way to improving the recruiting module. Candidates and recruiters are having a better experience as the system is providing a more user friendly site. Recruiters are provided more options to organize and pull candidate pools.
- Dayforce PEOPLE section currently does not house employee files. This is a major problem for our organization.
- Have a more user friendly route to read PTO balances for employees.
- The ability to print out all pay stubs at one time, rather than have to go through every one to print out.
- Ceridian can improve on the time frame ideas are put into the aha portal and implemented. There are so many ideas that are intended to build and the date of submission was from a year or two ago.
- Using Ceridian Dayforce HCM for time clock purposes works very well for our organization. For users who do not have access to a desktop or laptop computer, we've been able to give the access by placing iPads strategically around our organization where employees can easily access them. The software allows users to log in using a username and password or by using their badge number and a personal ID number. This allows the user to pick whatever method is most convenient for them. Hourly employees can view their timesheets and request that their manager/supervisor make edits if a correction is needed. Managers and Supervisors can edit and approve timesheets for the employees they manage before submitting them to our Payroll Department for processing.
- The healthcare enrollment wizard that we used in Ceridian Dayforce HCM was also very straightforward and easy to use. Every employee received a notification when they logged into the system telling them that they were eligible for annual enrollment and were provided with a link to click that took them straight to the enrollment wizard. All of the healthcare plans, as well as detailed information about each plan, was available within the system wizard so we didn't have to log out or switch programs in order to get information that we needed. If a mistake was made or if a selection needed clarification, our HR Department could send us a notification within Dayforce telling us to review our selections. We also received confirmations immediately after enrollment instead of having to wait days for HR to tell us that they received our benefits enrollment packages
- Being able to view our timesheets in real-time is a benefit that I truly appreciate. There were times in the past where I couldn't remember if I clocked out for the day or lunch and I could immediately log into Dayforce, view my timesheet, and enter a note under the day the mistake was made. My boss would get an automatic notification that I've submitted an error for my timesheet and he can approve or deny the request and make the corrections as necessary. It also helps me track my hours worked so I won't go over if there is a ban on overtime or I can work more hours if it looks like I won't get 40 hours for the week.
- I honestly don't see any areas where Ceridian Dayforce HCM needs any improvement. The system works, it's easy to use, and doesn't provide any issues with our network or other programs. It took about 2 months to get all of our data imported before we could go love. The time period was only long because our HRM Department chose to manually input the data into the system instead of importing it. If we imported the data it would of been only a few weeks for implementation before we could go live.
- I will warn users in the Payroll Department that we had issues with getting the correct figures to display on our W-2's. We had to issue corrected w-2 forms twice, but this was not due to the system making a mistake. The error was caused by users of the software in our Payroll Department. The software did exactly what it was supposed to do, but the user in charge of creating the W-2's was not following directions and kept inputting the wrong information.
- Ceridian Dayforce HCM requires the use of Silverlight when using Internet Explorer. Whenever we choose to upgrade Dayforce and push out the updated version to our users, we have to update IE and Silverlight as well. Sometimes you will get a false message stating that Silverlight needs an update when it's really IE and vice versa. We solved the problem by updating both IE and Silverlight for all users. We hope that we won't have to do this for every upgrade we decide to push out to our users.
Dayforce is the best solution for our company!
- Dayforce is easy to learn and easy to operate. It gives employees control of their data with anytime access, and helps us make sure our employee information is accurate and up to date.
- With data stored in a single, central location, we get data-driven insights across all HR and Payroll functions so we can make better decisions for the entire employee lifecycle.
- Payroll is calculated continuously throughout the pay period, giving my payroll team the time they need to produce accurate and timely pay.
- One specific area of improvement would be with WFM (Time and Attendance) where we could get a snapshot of weekly/biweekly timecard totals without having to scroll through the detailed "Pay" totals.
- Because our company pays different hourly amounts to employees for holiday pay based on their FT/PT status, we would like to see the hours appear in the time card totals without having to go to the "Pay" tab to confirm.
- System Security settings should include the ability to grant access to hourly and/or salaried employees. This would eliminate the need for unneeded configuration to prohibit some manager level employees from seeing salaried associates.
Great tool
- Innovative - always seeking to improve and get user feedback
- Support - provides support as needed for any issues or questions
- engaging - provide customers the opportunity to weigh in on new features and products to get end user point of view
- Communication - It can be lacking, especially from the implementation team.
- Role based functionality - puts some limits on what can be done.
- reporting - we have had to build many custom reports
Makes work life better
- Real time updates to payroll
- Latest updates always included in costs
- Able to track time independently when an employee has more than one position.
- Report creation tool takes effort to learn
- One single platform was a game changer for us. The continuous calculation of pay changed the way our payroll and benefits office does business. The time it has saved in calculating and auditing changes is great.
- Dayforce looks at the entire employee experience from both an employee and employer's perspective and meets both expectations. Employees are getting what they need and stayed engaged through Dayforce. Managers, administrators, and executives can get the level of detail they want/need to help them make informed decisions
- Scalability. As our organization has grown from 800 employees when we first implemented Dayforce to over 1350 employees now, Dayforce has grown with us. And not only in the number of employees, but growth of our organizational structure. We've added locations, cost centers, and processes. Dayforce has kept up and allowed to to make these changes with relative ease.
- The HTML roll out to replace Silverlight has been somewhat difficult for us. In a few areas, namely MyPay/Payroll and MyHR/People, we have had a more difficult time adapting and finding the same functionality we had before. More of a learning curve, but still "uncomfortable" nonetheless.
Dayforce HR review
- The reporting tool is great. I am able to run and create reports and pull data in all areas of the system.
- Setting up benefit plans is very user-friendly. Also when creating the benefits forms it is very easy and user-friendly.
- The customer support needs more improvement. When I put tickets in it takes a long time to get someone assigned.
DayforceHCM Saved Us!
- For the first time our managers have access to their employees in a another company. They can see timesheets, payroll submissions and basic data whereas before they had to reach out to payroll for answers.
- Combines timekeeping, recordkeeping and benefits all under one login.
- We love the online form submission process that reduces paper waste.
- The reporting tool isn't as user-friendly as I would like. It's difficult building our own reports and we have to rely on Ceridian building them for us... at an additional cost.
- Nothing is "free" with Ceridian. Everything extra costs something.
- The way HR Policies are captured in Onboarding doesn't allow a print of the form that was digitally signed along with the signature and date signed.
Dayforce HCM Advocate
- Dayforce handles payroll very well. Ease of operation, employee maintenance, reviewing payroll prior to finalizing, auditing, and submitting.
- Dayforce is easily configured for electronic (paperless) onboarding. You are in full control of documents, compliance, and routing of workflows.
- There is a streamlined approach to adding entitlements such as specific sick pay being implemented by cities and states across the U.S.
- Dayforce handles the new hires/ rehire process extremely well.
- Dayforce’s manager and employee self service tool with workflows is unsurpassed.
- Some improvement is needed in the reporting arena. There is still some difficulty in ad-hoc reporting and merging different tables for one report.
Dayforce--the pro and cons!
- System administrators can request backfills when a backup environment is needed. If one is not needed, backfills are not routine. This allows administrators to only backfill what is needed.
- Ceridian Dayforce is mobile friendly, which allows administrators to respond to urgent needs as long as we have our devices with us.
- User roles can be customized and immediately viewable by the employee effected.
- Multiple actions/reasons cannot be entered on the same date. This requires the employer to pick which is more important to reflect in the system.
- Workflow features cannot be limited to certain people by location.
- The compensation module doesn't allow managers to make suggestions and go back and forth.
