Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Whole organization across 3 locations.
  • Onboarding is easy to set up
  • Scheduling is automated
  • Timekeeping: easy to fix issues
  • Notes: links confidential titles for frontline management to view!
  • User-friendliness, although this seems to constantly improve.
  • We will know more next year
  • Have seen a reduction in paper likely to continue
  • Reduced pay errors
  • Reduced compensation management issues
Benefits management has been automated. I9’s and timekeeping were done on paper. Now, it’s automated, Scheduling, time off requests, and a variety of payroll items are not my expertise.
This has revolutionized HCM at my company. All compensation was done by paper and FedExing documents to the home office. Serious mistakes were made in PTO tracking, compensation, and payroll which could take months to fix. Now, if issues arise in these areas, literal months of time is turned to minutes.
I’ve never worked on any other system that required me to have any concerns about these issues. I worked with one module in my previous experience but can understand the value as having all these modules in one application has revolutionized my HRIS management.
I don’t know how to answer this question.

Evaluating Ceridian Dayforce and Competitors

  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
No I wasn’t the primary decision maker

Ceridian Dayforce Implementation

Have anIT professional involved. Invite implementation staff onsite. Have clear concise communication. Have specific people in charge of module building. Don’t have too many people giving input. Don’t make people who are not tech savvy be part of setting up modules.
  • Don't know
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation - Don’t promise anything
  • Instructions were not user friendly
  • We went through implementing in 3 months it was horrendous
  • Data exchange was a nightmare

Ceridian Dayforce Training

  • Online training
  • in-person training
The in person training was good
It was hard for me to follow with no awareness of the product I was expected to do things I wasn’t qualified to do
Sometimes and no I wouldn’t recommend for more complicated modules launch as benefits payroll

It’s extensive Which can be overwhelming but I don’t know if I would change it
Be sure you have the right people setting up modules don’t try to fit a round pegs into square holes get the people qualified to do set up that are highly technical
