Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
May 10, 2022
Switching from ultimate software to Dayforce
- Payroll processing
- Easier reporting
- Employee Self service
- Slow loading bar
- Mobile limitations
- Implementation team does everything for you so you don’t really know how to fix something later.
April 27, 2022
Canadian user
- Acessable any place, any time
- Quick response time.
- reasonable cost
- ease of use
- Too big, too many reports.
- Time consuming to learn.
- sold modules I could not use ( not avail in canada)
April 19, 2022
High potential if implemented properly
- Earning statements
- W2 forms
- Submit time off requests
- From the employee's view, time card punching is very unclear; hard to tell what was submitted or punched and see any hour totals.
- There needs to be space for benefit details; currently, we're still using an old system that was to sunset for all our benefits information.
- Messaging is constantly erring. I'll get "2nd notification" messages when I never received a "1st". I'll also get message notifications, and find nothing at all has been received.
April 13, 2022
Ceridian Dayforce HCM saved us time and money!
- Dayforce is extremely customizable.
- It is quick, efficient, and accurate when paying employees.
- It has automated a number of our previously manual processes.
- The service model is difficult at times.
- If you need changes to your configuration done by Ceridian, it is very costly.
- For a global tool, you can only process payroll for an employee on one country's payroll at a time.
April 09, 2022
Ceridian Dayforce - changing our payroll processes
- Easy upload of hours and other payroll information for each pay
- Easy to create custom reports
- Analytics are useful
- Employee self serve
- All reports should have an option to download into Excel or csv
- If a stop payment is done, then automatic adjustment to the employees pay
- Ability to change the benefit calculation ourselves
April 04, 2022
Enables better employee and manager self service
- Tax forms
- Open Enrollment
- Direct Deposit setup
- Electronic pay stubs
- Time tracking - Not intuitive on updating a schedule
- Leave tracking - Not intuitive on updating a schedule
- Leave balances - Not always clear what's been added and used
March 31, 2022
HR perspective
- Back button to bring you back to the last profile you were viewing.
- Geo-fencing is impressive.
- SSO
- Easy look up to find even old employees.
- Benefits functions on HR side, too much manual entry.
- I know it’s for protection purposes but it gets annoying when you constantly need to input a security code texted to you.
- Wish the onboarding progress page for managers can automatically update instead of being needed to manually update.
November 24, 2021
Challenging implementation, but the end result is extremely useful
- Track employee time and attendance
- Automate the payroll process
- Make self-service available to employees for a lot of HR functions
- Dayforce Live training is disorganized; it has been very difficult to figure out what training should be done when, and by whom.
- Some of the custom configurations that were promised to us during the sales process have turned out to be impossible in implementation.
- The Ceridian implementation team seems to be rushing us through the process; we ended up having to hire an outside consultant to help guide us through the implementation and set more realistic expectations for the teams.

Benefits of Dayforce
- Onboarding is wonderful! It took everything off paper for new hires and made the process fool proof
- Performance has been a huge help. It keeps our employees engaged and builds a better employee/manager relationship
- Scaling to size. I feel like our org is so slow because of the size of our organization built out. Speed would be a huge help.
- It's glitchy all the time. Consistently kicked out of the system and having to reload.
- The ATS has poor reporting and functionality.
September 19, 2021
Dayforce is awesome!
- Cloud-based system that can be accessed remotely
- One system for many HR functions
- Support center that is easily accessible in case issues/questions arise
- I have only had a handful of encounters with support specialists who weren't pleasant/helpful
- Reporting is not the easiest feature to use
- PPACA is not super easy to use either
September 09, 2021
[In My Opinion,] Run the Other Way!
- Honestly, nothing [in my opinion].
- [It is] not user-friendly.
- [In my experience,] implementation did not go well from the start.
- [In my experience,] I can't even have my employees change their own address; if I do, they won't do it as Ceridian [Dayforce] wants them to and it will mess up something in their benefits.
- [I feel] reporting is NOT good or easy.
- [I] tried to set up onboarding and recruiting, but didn't work [for me], so we don't use it.
- We wanted to use the mobile app, but because we didn't trust the system, we never had it implemented.
- [In my opinion,] customer service is horrible. I pay to call my consultant first before I will try customer service.
September 08, 2021
Ceridian Dayforce - Automate your payroll processes!
- Payroll calculations.
- Time Away from Work.
- Custom integration.
- Time & attendance input.
- Reporting module is difficult to configure.
- Forced updates breaks things sometimes - they are quick to resolve with customer service but it's a pain when things are pushed to production without sufficient testing.
August 31, 2021
May the Dayforce be With You.
- Alerts you to errors prior to processing.
- Allows control of system configuration.
- Provides real-time calculations.
- The HCM processing transacting processing time needs to be faster.
- Needs more layout continuity of among screens.
- Support module is too cumbersome.
August 30, 2021
Good, but could be better
- We really like the Dayforce App.
- The whole system is very user-friendly.
- They provide a very good employee experience.
- The system is very customizable.
- Updates are done bi-annually
- Reporting is a bit difficult, but has been getting easier. I love that you can call and get a reporting specialist on the phone.
- The recruiting module should be more customizable.
- We no longer have a designated account rep, which is problematic.
August 02, 2021
New-ish to Dayforce
- On-demand payroll calculation.
- Automatic tax compliance.
- Customer service.
July 27, 2021
Great, but could improve tax knowledge/support
- Great payroll features
- Customization Options
- design
- Support
- Tax services
- Account manager quality and services
July 21, 2021
Fantastic Company
- Ceridian allows for pretty much any report to the customized to the properties you/company specially need to have set.
- Ceridian allows for multiple locations under 1 employee code.
- Ceridian also has implemented a fast track pay account.
- Unfortunately they do have extra "clicks" in order to get to the end results
- There are several add ons in place but some are pretty much the same thing.
July 01, 2021
Ceridian Dayforce
- Employee Self Service
- Benefit Management
- Payroll
- Customer Support
- Recruiting
- Implementation
- Customer usability
- Current snapshot visibility
- Ease of approval for managers
- It can be difficult for managers of people in different timezones to track hours
- To my knowledge, Dayforce does not allow for the input of an off-standard work schedule - it cannot be used as a scheduling tool.
- It would be nice if Dayforce allows other pertinent employee information to also be stored in the system.
June 28, 2021
Dayforce Review
- Wallet and Pay on Demand is offered free to both associates and the company.
- There are many different services and integrations that can streamline HR processes.
- The customer service rep is generally very responsive.
- The reporting is very inclusive but there are features or data points that it can not report on in a single report. Often we must run two or more reports and then manually combine the information.
- The support portal is unhelpful and occasionally unresponsive.
- A lot of the set up and maintained is manual. Dayforce will charge extra for support for items that should be included with general service.
May 16, 2021
Mostly Happy Customer
- Compensation module
- Performance module/scorecards
- Benefits administration and open enrollment for users
- The engagement module really needs some work. It's difficult to customize and unable to run reports from. Using outside vendors such as SurveyMonkey is much better for sending surveys.

Ceridian Dayforce Empowers HR
- Ceridian Dayforce benefit enrollment both for new hires and during Open Enrollment has been a great addition.
- Forms submission allow for tracking leaves of absence, comp changes, and for employees updating personal information - such as addresses and direct deposit info.
- Earnings statements and end-of-year statements are house in Ceridian Dayforce and easily accessed.
- Ceridian Dayforce does not offer a good way to track FMLA usage.
- Ongoing problems are not always addressed timely - other than emails stating that the problem is being looked into.
