Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Dayforce is primarily used for payroll, benefits administration and workforce management. It has been useful in getting information from employees working at different sites in less time. We have been able to reduce the use of paper by using Dayforce. It has also helped us conduct audits and synthesize our processes across departments. Employees are happy as they have better connections with HR.

Pros

  • Report writing and ability to generate reports.
  • Ability to use additional employee properties to create additional fields.
  • Timekeeping
  • Payroll earning and deduction reports are very useful

Cons

  • During position change, the schedules have to be adjusted manually.
  • During system upgrades, the workflows break and need to be tested again.
  • Silverlight issues while using Dayforce with Macbook and Apple products.
  • Reduction in paper
  • Increased efficiency by smoother communication
  • Employees are able to work towards strategic projects
While using multiple HR systems, there is a nightly feed by which information flows from one system to another. There is a delay in obtaining information. If all processes are in one system it is more efficient. It also makes employees feel happy as they are able to see the status of their requests in different stages. There is no chance for things to be lost as it is all in a centralized database.
Dayforce's report writing tool is very helpful in obtaining organization data. The ability to link different fields and create custom topics is very helpful while analyzing interdepartmental properties. We are able to generate reports on employee roles, forms, location, position, ethnicity etc. This has helped us create HR metrics for headcount, termination, retention to create HR strategy.
