The tax updates ease the work of Payroll to not input the updated tax information. But, Wyoming is a problem with Worker's Comp and requires extra steps because the program does not recognize the rate change from year to year.

Reviews
(176-200 of 622)- Product innovation
- Managing complex pay & time off polices
- Service andsSupport
- Integrated services and software
- Position management and dynamic org planning.
- Reporting design can be challenging and requires technical aptitude.
- Lacks an integrated HR service center and ticketing capability.
Highly Efficient!
- The payroll module makes it easy to pay our employees accurately and on time.
- The customer service representatives are amazing and extremely knowledgeable.
- The timesheets make tracking time-off requests really easy for managers.
- It would be nice to test other roles as an administrator without having to change that employee's password.
- When editing the XML portion in the form builder, each time I save my changes it resets back to the first form. It would be nice if it would keep the form you are working on open.
Ceridian Dayforce for Tech Unicorn
- Payroll is very easy to process.
- Benefit management is easy and integrates with vendors well.
- Performance management is great.
- We need a better leave management process. Ideally a new module would be great.
- Auditing capabilities are very limited in the system.
- Configuration changes can be difficult and without proper knowledge, Ceridian likely will charge you for anything you want changed.
Dayforce and HR
- Support is great.
- Having resources available.
- Easy to use.
- Timesheet linking to the employee's profile.
- More reporting options.
Ceridian Dayforce Experience 2020
The Mexichem Companies were operating completely separate for many years. When we transitioned to Dayforce Payroll, we are now sharing best practices and helping each other. While separate, we are now operating as a team! Our learning curve has been steep because of our separate implementations in Time & Attendance.
- Flexible configuration
- User Training
- User Friendly
- Support model
- Implementation model (used external partners to implement)
- Costly when changes need to be made
Dayforce is highly configurable providing there is capital available to implement or make changes.Dayforce has training resources available to learn but I still have to consult support to configure correctly. Users must be knowledgeable.
Ceridian Dayforce Review
- Houses all information in one place
- Payroll process is fairly simple
- It's not designed for a company as complex as ours and we have had to "make it work" in some cases
- Does not handle employees working at multiple legal entities well
- Many branches of the product that do not work well.
Ceridian YAY-force!
Workforce Management, Recruiting, Learning Management System, Payroll, Time and Attendance, Human Resources and Benefits. These modules all work cohesivley together which makes the the job of administering these functions much easier and more efficient. Also, the Ceridian support team is great and provides great service when we encounter an issue.
- Staying on top of HRIS tech trends
- Great support team
- The easy flow of data between modules
- Provide more training opportunities for end-users
- Make configuring workflows/forms easier for new admins
- Transitioning from Silverlight to HTML has been hard to adjust - more support needed
Ceridian Dayforce saved my life!
- Payroll processing is smooth and efficient.
- The system is very user friendly.
- Mass rate changes are a pain to process. I find doing upload to be challenging.
- When I went live there were many bugs but things I wouldn't be able to see until I ran the system for a while. The implementation team leaves too quickly. The amount of tickets I had to open was frustrating.
Excellent platform for payroll and benefits
- Payroll.
- Benefits.
- Mobile app.
- Commuter benefits.
Dayforce single platform works!
We use Ceridian Dayforce across our whole organization, and we encourage employees to use the mobile app. I would say that we use 90% of the modules offered in Dayforce. Dayforce is a one-stop-shop with all of our employee information in one system, we do not have to enter duplicate information into different systems. Saving time in every department, across the board. For example; our Managers can easily see TAFW requests, create employee schedules and review their employee's Timesheets. When they approve the TAFW, it automatically shows up in the employee's schedule and/or Timesheets.
And for our HR and Payroll team, if we update an employee's file to show that they are on a leave of absence, the system automatically begins calculating benefit arrears. When the employee returns, the system then begins deducting the arrears from the employee's paychecks until the arrears are caught up. We don't have to create spreadsheets to track this information and we can trust the information.
- Dayforce is fully integrated, a one-stop-shop! All employee information is in one system and moves quickly throughout it. This is particularly helpful when a wage change goes through in the middle of a pay period or when completing a retro wage change. You can see the change, including the retro change, right in the employee's Timesheet, which automatically feeds over into Payroll.
- Dayforce makes benefits enrollment and annual open enrollment simple. The system remembers what benefit programs the employee has participated in and the employee's beneficiary information.
- Dayforce is very customizable. You can create shift rotations, pay policies and attendance management policies based on the needs of your company.
- Dayforce does not have a paycheck calculator and it would be great if it did!
- Dayforce could do better with basic reporting, ie: 401(k), garnishments, etc.
Accuracy, Efficiency, and Engagement
- Fully Integrated HRIS solution
- Accurate payroll delivery
- HTML migration
- Improved integration with retirement plan
New user review of Dayforce
- WFM is very convenient
- Running payroll is quick
- Accurate entitlement policy, such as vacation balances
- Report design should be more friendly to use
Also, the implementation team should have more knowledge of both payroll and HR to map the program and the importance of all the data coming from other programs to Dayforce.
Ceridian Dayforce Review
- Vacation integrated with payroll.
- User-friendly.
- Not highly customizable.
- Implementation is a heavy process.
New to Ceridian!
- User-Friendly
- Visually appealing
- Customization of options for admin
- Lengthy implementation.
- Not fully understanding the business that you are implementing.
Nothing like Ceridian
- Info all on one platform
- Lots of potential for analytics
- Always coming up with new and better uses to make HR better
- Implementation was really rough with the team we had
- It is a little pricey
- Support hours aren't necessarily 24/7
The good and the bad from a new user
- Pay our staff
- Allows access to employee records
- Allows staff to switch shifts
- Recruitment module
- Things don't always work as planned
Dayforce Powerforce
- Time and attendance
- Talent acquisition
- Benefit administration
- Vendor feeds
- Organizational structuring
Dayforce Review
- Multiple business functions
- Easy to run off cycles to pay employees as soon as possible if any pay errors occur.
- Stores a lot of information
- System bugs need to be fixed, for example, sometimes certain forms in the onboarding don’t work.
- Better formatting for reports, being able to run reports for all data such as PTO balances.
Great System!
- We have a lot of hourly employees and we use DayForce to keep their timesheets accurate.
- The ability to use different logos for different companies would be greatly appreciated.
User friendly review
- The mobile app is a great resource and user-friendly. Our employees find it easy to use. I love the new enhancements.
- The Education Center is a valuable tool. I can find about anything I need.
- Overall the HRM solution is easy to navigate and learn.
- In Recruiting when copying a job requisition, it would be helpful if the posting copied as well. At least to have the option.
One year into Ceridian
- Mobile Dayforce app for employees reduces the paper paystubs. Employees have the ability to access the schedules and pay in real time on their personal devices.
- Reduces paper - now that we have implemented the recruiting module, we no longer have paper applications or requisition forms. Everything is controlled and managed online.
- Processes are further streamlined and managers are held accountable by the system through recruiting, onboarding, schedules.
- Lifetime hours of employees on paystubs
- Dollar amounts accrued and days on paystubs
- A chat function
Heaven Sent Software for High Turnover/Complex Organizations
- Understand their customers and listens to feedback when looking at new features.
- During implementation, it seems like they throw a lot at you at the very beginning and we found that a lot of the times they were putting the cart before the horse.
Time to start using Ceridian Dayforce
- Ceridian Dayforce does well at allowing us to clock in.
- Ceridian Dayforce Is great for keeping up with your schedule and requesting time off.
- Ceridian Dayforce is also great for tracking what employees are working in which department.
- once you have finished typing in your employee number it automatically enters without confirmation so it's easy to clock someone else in or out if you press a wrong number.
- On occasion, punches don't seem to register but this is rare but ongoing.
- Ceridian Dayforce will freeze up occasionally but closing it and reopening it works to fix that.
Ceridian Dayforce Review
- It logs as you punch in and punch out.
- You can see the history of all your punch ins and punch outs, and days you are scheduled to work.
- It shows you allowed time off and how much is left.
- It has pay-stubs.
- It has your benefits info and enrollment.
- The website doesn't work well in chrome, you need to use
- Would like more stuff in the app
