Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

We use it for time/attendance, payroll, and HRIS currently. We will be implementing recruitment and onboarding soon.
  • One system for all our needs. No need for two systems to run payroll.
  • Carrier feeds for benefits makes it more efficient to enroll employees.
  • Reports can be scheduled.
  • Support is too cumbersome. I would like to be able to email my questions and get it done rather than go through the hoops in creating tickets, logging in and needing to write a comment.
  • Too long for some easy fixes to be addressed.
  • Need more assistance with Tax services.
  • Time saver when it comes to using one system for all our needs.
  • No more paper PTO requests.
  • Soon we will have onboarding done electronically - save time not needing to meet face to face.
We are able to run various reports to report data to federal and local organizations such as the EEO1.
Less appropriate for smaller organizations. It's okay for bigger ones with easier pay codes.

Using Ceridian Dayforce

HR, payroll, managers, executives, employees
7 - Payroll, HRIS
  • Payroll
  • time clock
  • benefits
  • paper on-boarding (coming soon)
  • managers can approve time cards and enter PTO
  • employees can make changes to their information while not needing to long in only while on a company computer
  • our R@H staff can clock in while traveling on the road to clients.

  • wallet
We are still learning the system and would not want to go through another implementation without giving this enough time to be learned.

Yes
Change management was a major issue with the implementation

  • some features were not explained to us

Ceridian Dayforce Support

I don't like having to log into a portal every time I need to progress though a situation. It's not efficient at all. Sometimes, my job gets pushed to several people before being addresses. Some support members give wrong or bad advice and causes us to have more problems.
ProsCons
Good followup
Problems get solved
Kept well informed
No escalation required
Support understands my problem
Quick Initial Response
None
No - We shouldn't have to pay to get help
Pam and Cassaundra have been exceptional whenever I got them to help me.
