Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Dayforce for payroll purposes. It easily allows us to input employee timesheets, expenses, bonuses, etc. It also lets us issue T4s and ROEs, etc. Dayforce helps us ensure everyone gets paid and keeps records of all hours, expenses, bonuses, RSPs, and other payroll-related information.
Pros
  • Timesheets.
  • Support chat.
  • Reporting
Cons
  • RSP payments (rather than just tracking).
Likelihood to Recommend
I like Dayforce's timesheet inputs. I like that there is both the rapid entry and the timesheet tabs. It's easy and quick, and it makes a lot of sense. I wish Dayforce would pay out RSP payments, rather than log them only. It would eliminate a step for us and make things faster. But it's only once per year, so not a huge issue.

Ceridian Powerpay - my payroll best friend

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
In all honestly I don’t know a situation where Ceridian Powerpay would not be appropriate to use. I have used it at a company with 12 employees, and at a company with 100 employees. The system works great regardless of company size and the benefits significantly outweigh any (if any) negatives.

I only have experience with the system in the hospitality industry but it covered all our needs and more that I can only imagine that would apply to other industries as well.

An effective, simple, and easy to use payroll administration tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
Ceridian Powerpay is useful for an organization with either a small or large workforce, with a reasonably simple payroll setup. Our organization does not have any complicated commission schema, so Ceridian Powerpay works excellent for standard payroll that doesn’t change too much from week to week, often with salaried employees that have predictable compensation. I would hesitate to recommend Ceridian Powerpay to an organization with more complication pay systems, especially if they are larger as Ceridian Powerpay seems better suited to standard payroll without anything outside of the norm. While not feature-rich overall, Ceridian Powerpay gets the job done, and it is easy to use, so you can rely on multiple users in the organization being trained to use the software without requiring a significant investment on your part.

Well rounded software, with few limitations

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Dayforce Powerpay for our semi monthly payroll, it let's us do so with ease and accuracy, while taking almost no time to do entries or updates that may need to happen for each payroll run. Minimal scope, it covers the basics, but let's us include what we need to and automates the federal and provincial remittances.
Pros
  • Timely
  • Accurate
  • Automated
Cons
  • Allowing adjustments to be made outside of a payroll run, so they are captured at the time, not having to be written down and remembered for the next run.
Likelihood to Recommend
Works well for companies that don't experience multiple changes every payroll.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have been using Dayforce Powerpay for several years now and our company changed owners and Dayforce employees helped us set up the new company and new ownership. They took care of adding all employees to the new account and take care of our old account. It was a very detailed process and I am grateful they were able to help us out so much. They followed up via phone calls and emails and due to our businesses odd hours, it was difficult to follow up with calls, but the emails were all very detailed and we appreciated it very much. They walked us through all the processes and every time we needed help, there was someone to talk to or they would follow up if they couldn't answer our questions right away.
Pros
  • Providing live help when needed
  • In-depth tutorials and help on their website
  • Easy to use interface
  • Simple layouts
Cons
  • Able to see employee information without having to open a new pay run
  • Able to download mass reports instead of one at a time
Likelihood to Recommend
We are a small business - and even though we are small and don't make near use of all of the options in the program, I love it because all my remitting is done for me, all the calculating, all the vacation pay, holiday pay, overtime, everything is kept track of really well and I don't have to worry about missing information if I was to do this myself. I also love the direct deposit options and my employees love it and the paystubs and the ability to put messages on their paystubs! I honestly can't think of a scenario where Dayforce Powerpay wouldn't be suitable!! I wouldn't change companies, even if it saved me money as I love all the functions, the information and the ease of ROE and T4's.
