Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Dayforce HCM is being used in our division in the US and Canada. We utilize Dayforce for payroll, benefits, self-service, document management, ATS, and onboarding.
  • Dayforce calculates payroll well for both the US and Canada. The smartphone app is also helpful and enables the company to send messages to employees.
  • We took a step backward with the Dayforce timekeeping system in comparison to our previous provider. This is especially true for working with entitlements.
  • The ATS and Onboarding modules have a lot of room for improvement.
  • Dayforce is more geared for Canada and is not user-friendly for US compliance reports such as the EEO-1 reporting.
  • We have seen fewer cost savings through increased productivity and efficiency than we estimated.
Compliance with Dayforce has been the same as our previous systems. The state tax withholding is updated more frequently.
Single sign-on has been a plus for employees and administrators. This has not impacted our decisions about hiring, etc.
More live time payroll numbers and reports for KPIs and operations.
Dayforce payroll is improved over the previous Ceridian payroll system. However, the modules we purchased such as ATS, Onboarding, and Timekeeping are a disappointment compared to other US products.
