Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

We use Dayforce for payroll and for a third of our human resources needs. We do not use it for tracking leaves of absences and workers comp. We also use other software for enrolling employees in training, and for engaging employees.

We use it for hiring, benefits, for employee demographics, pay rates, employee profile information, and for reporting on any of these areas.
  • I like the ability to add custom SQL in Reporting.
  • I think the employee view where an employee can see their benefits and earnings is nice.
  • Dayforce can be very slow at times, and the dependency on Silverlight is annoying. Every part of Dayforce should work on Chrome or Firefox without an extension.
  • The education materials, documentation, and webinars need to be more user friendly. The Reporting tool is powerful but it is underutilized because the documentation and training on the fields, tables, data model, etc. need to be more thorough.
  • The world is mobile and Dayforce needs to adapt to Mobile as soon as possible. My boss wants answers or reports that are easily available anywhere he is.
  • I think Dayforce helps to provide accurate pay rate data for budgets.
Dayforce helps with filling out the reports we need to file for the EEOC.
I think it is well suited for reporting on the data that it collects. Like I said before we use other software in HR for training and for LOA and Worker's Comp.
