Ceridian Powerpay - my payroll best friend
Ceridian Powerpay is currently being used by our organization for payroll processing. While we have a small team, especially during the pandemic, it is still the best payroll software I have experience with regardless of team size.
Ceridian helps ensure payroll is processed quickly, accurately, and on time every time. The interface is extremely user friendly, you can customize payroll settings accordingly.
Being in the hospitality industry we are able to apply tips to payroll if needed. Ceridian makes it easy to add and remove employees easily - which is extremely beneficial in an industry with high turnover rate and during this pandemic.
Issuing automatic ROEs and T4s is also a huge bonus. It really helps take the stress off of the individual who processes payroll.
- Very intuitive and user friendly interface.
- Automatic ROEs and T4s.
- Customizing your payroll needs whether that be tips, commission, extra deductions, dual pay rates, etc.
- Their support is extremely helpful, although rarely needed.
- Would be great if you could search for specific ROEs in the system rather than having to go into each individual pay period package to locate - especially when there may be 10+ ROEs.
- Being able to customize our payroll - having customized deductions, dual pay rates, option to add tips.
- Ease of creating ROEs & T4s.
- Accurate reporting and ability to review previous payrolls going back years.
- User friendly interface which allows other users to learn for “just in case” scenarios.

- 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).
Have not used any other payroll software in my experience.
We use Ceridian Powerpay for payroll administration and some minor HR activities/processes. The software is used for processing payroll for all areas of the organization on a bi-weekly basis. The main business problem it solves is providing a single solution for the administration of payroll that, due to its nature, makes the process more streamlined and simplified, eliminating many of the otherwise manual aspects of payroll. As nearly all of our workforce is salaried, the actual payroll process can be completed in less than an hour without fail.
- 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.
- Reports could be more robust. You can pull reports from Ceridian Powerpay, but they are often relatively necessary and not useful for more advanced analysis and filtering, which would have to be done manually.
- Changes to the system cannot always be completed on your own and require intervention from Ceridian via support. While this meant as a safety feature so that it doesn’t compromise the setup of your company, more advanced users should be able to use this without intervention/support.

- Positive: Ceridian Powerpay is cost-effective for our organization as we do not require a more robust solution—it fits our needs well without breaking the bank.
- Positive: Ceridian Powerpay is mostly intuitive, easy to use, and as a result, easy to train team members in. This allows for additional coverage for the payroll system should the key user not be available or require assistance.
Having used both Ceridian Powerpay and DayforceHCM, I find that Ceridian Powerpay is the better solution for the average user. DayforceHCM provides a more fully-featured solution for an organization, but utilizing those features will depend on your organizational needs. Moreover, the total cost of DayforceHCM is much higher than the Ceridian Powerpay. Unless you can justify the higher overall cost for some features that you may not take advantage of, Ceridian Powerpay will work better for your smaller business and workforce. I also appreciate the relative simplicity and intuitive nature of Ceridian Powerpay. While Ceridian Powerpay mostly does one thing, it does it well and does not need any additional features to serve as your primary solution for the administration of payroll.
