Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Ceridian is our time clock, benefits and recruiting mechanism. We will look forward to adding more pieces in the coming years (onboarding for 2019!). All departments in our hospital are using Dayforce. It address the issue where we were using multiple systems for HR functions. It is allowing users to become experts in one system instead of multiple.

Pros and Cons

The Dayforce application is well liked by employees. Clocking in/out reduces the need for multiple time clocks in house
Benefit enrollment system is nice for employees to choose their benefits at their own pace and efficiently. HR loves the reduced time on data entry!
There are many different reports available for use and can be "tweaked" to fit our needs.

Learning the reporting system is not as easy as figuring it out as you go. Training is needed to create an efficient report.
Starting new with my organization was very overwhelming when I was shown Ceridian; there is a lot to the programs and it appeared that our payroll coordinator was completing the system creation/setup for several modules. She is excellent, but it looked time-consuming and burdensome.

Return on Investment

Ceridian streamlines our systems into one place.
Records are closer to becoming digital decreasing the time and cost to our organization for filing.

Using Dayforce for Compliance

All withholdings and reporting is housed within Ceridian taking less time and use of multiple agencies to complete tasks.

Impact on Decision Making

We are able to quickly and easily see candidates. We utilize the comment boxes on applications as an efficient way to communicate with hiring managers. I like that it gets emailed to the hiring manager but the notes still are easily found in the application record.

Alternatives Considered

Greenshades Software

I was not here before Ceridian. I know they used Greenshades.

Likelihood to Recommend

Ceridian is excellent for time card management. It works nicely as it is available to employees via the app.

I would say that Ceridian is complicated to learn and it would be awesome if trainings were held throughout the year for new users to go to and learn how to function in the system. When starting a new job it was hard to put time towards the training modules because many other things were being thrown at me while working in the office. I appreciate learning by doing, but with Ceridian you can't muck your way through it and watching videos is painful for me.
