Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

It is being used by our payroll and H.R. department as well as 675 associates located at 65 different sites throughout the Midwest. The business problem it addressed was primarily our (previously) manual H.R. enrollment.
So all of our store managers use it for time clock purposes, tracking time off, enrolling new associates, scheduling their workforce.

Pros

  • Automates enrollment both initial and annual open enrollment for our 675 associates.

Cons

  • Reporting is horrendous.
  • Doesn't handle a basic 401K plan as it should.
  • The lion's share of support staff do not understand it.
  • Oversold and underperformed.
  • ROI is debatable. We spend $11,000 per month for this service and probably gain $3,000 per month inefficiencies.
  • Tough decision to go from spending $3000 per year to $11,000 per month to automate H.R. AFter three years, one would think we would feel better about our new system. Payroll does not feel better about it. H.R does.
Very average results.
Seems to be well suited in the enrollment side of things.

Terrible in reporting, Promised 200 easy to use reports. Maybe have 2 reports that work.

Does not allow the user much flexibility in making changes. Example: We made a simple change internally to our PTO policy and spent $15,000 in professional services having it implemented/modified. With our last system (Sage), it would have taken us 15 minutes to change and cost us nothing.

Does not handle a simple 401Plan well at all. We've dumbed it down.
