Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

[It's used] Organization wide. [Dayforce is] Used for recruiting, scheduling, timekeeping, and payroll.
  • 360 feedback - Ceridian listens to reviews from its customers
  • Mobile app - very simple to use and capable
  • Timekeeping - easy to navigate errors and easy to revise time sheet data
  • HR record maintenance - people module is still running on MS Silverlight
  • Payroll election audit data - can not track edits to payroll elections, which is where regular deductions are entered
  • Custom reporting - topic builder is not user-friendly and custom reporting fields are difficult to create without additional training and/or guidance from Ceridian support
  • Identifying absent employees
  • Managing electrinic pay data
Having a candidate profile that links employee history to every applicant makes it easy to track seniority
Dayforce is a powerhouse program, so it’s nice to have all of the information centralized, rather than needing to check multiple systems. It helps reduce bad data.
For employee populations that are on the go, or must perform actions primarily via mobile, Dayforce is great because their mobile app is so easy to use and packs a lot of functionality.
