Overall Satisfaction with Dayforce

We use Dayforce for Time & Attendance, Payroll Processing, Benefits and HR. It combined multiple systems to one so we eliminated double entry. Also, increase access for employees. It's very convenient to have the real time and one platform because it eliminates need for importing hours and also allows reports with actual to-date information.

Pros

  • Allows payroll to view checks prior to pay period ending
  • Allow payroll to view preliminary totals
  • Comparing Schedule to Timesheets and flagging discrepancies

Cons

  • It can be expensive to update or make changes to any policies or reports that were set up using professional services.
  • Some of the support staff are very hard to understand.
  • We were able to move many of our processes to paperless.
  • Less need for off-site storage facilities.

Using Dayforce

800 - Basically everyone in our organization uses Dayforce in one way or another. The managers do the timekeeping, attendance tracking & reporting. The employees review their paychecks, direct deposit, time away requests and open enrollment. Payroll & HR use it for onboarding, pay increases, benefits, reporting.
4 - Dayforce is very user friendly. Even if there is something that we need help with, Dayforce provides various tools to help. There's the Help Portal, Support, Discussion Groups and Knowledge Base.
  • one-platform
  • real-time
  • paperless
  • Calculating manual paychecks easily
  • Open Enrollment is paperless
  • We have received positive feedback for employees using Dayforce Wallet.
  • Performance Tracking
Dayforce is always looking for ways to improve and it's very noticeable that they take the voice of their customers and try to implement what is desired.

I didn't give it a full 10 because it is hard when management wants to make changes to our pay policies. Sometimes the changes affects policies still in place.

Evaluating Dayforce and Competitors

Yes - ADP Timeclock - We replaced it with Dayforce so that we could have one platform and eliminate the need for importing.
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
  • Other
It had to be easy to use and able to integrate with our labor management system, Ontrack. Our final decision was based on the fact that Dayforce had a local team that we were already familiar with and also were always supportive in the past so we knew they would be supportive going forward and that it wasn't just for the sale.
Evaluation process would be the same; however, I would make different decisions when setting up during implementation.

Dayforce Implementation

Implementation went better than I thought. The Dayforce team was extremely active, communicative and stayed on until they knew we were satisfied.
  • Creating all the custom reports
  • Making sure all our pay policies were applying correctly

Dayforce Support

Good rating because support is always knowledgeable, friendly and listens to what you want.

I'm not able to give it a 10 because of how much it cost when professional services are needed.

No. I don't feel it's needed and our company is not willing to pay.
I created a support case and the lady was exceptionally helpful. She also took the time to teach me some other shortcuts to make what I do easier and allowed me to ask her many other "how to" questions that I had put on the side.

Using Dayforce

Dayforce is very easy to use and I like that they are always looking for ways to improve so it gets better year by year.
