Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Lumos inherited Ceridian Dayforce during a company divestiture. I was hired due to my experience with Ceridian Dayforce with another employer, AdvanSix. AdvanSix is an integrated supply chain, Chemical Processing company with roughly 2000 direct hires and 200 - 400 contractors. All of which were tracked within Ceridian Dayforce. When the AdvanSix team was implementing Ceridian Dayforce, they were implementing Ceridian Dayforce modules to replace other applications. For example, HR, Talent Acquisition, and Benefits replaced ADP, Payroll replaced Kronos with Ceridian Dayforce, and the Cooperate education team replaced Sum Total with Ceridian Dayforce. This was a big project. I supported many of these teams. Since coming to Lumos, I have used this experience to automate several processes. At Lumos, we have increased the amount of metadata collected by utilizing Employee Data Mapping rules and employment properties, which in turn enhances our reports, and communications with downstream systems. Employee Data Mapping rules were used by AdvanSix to assign union rate tables to specific jobs on the employment record. At Lumos, we are always improving processes by creating custom forms, HR Policies, approval workflows, and notifications. If you have Analysts with experience in XML and SQL, you can bring a lot of improvements to processes and analytics quickly.
  • Time and Attendance
  • Benefits
  • Forms and approval workflows
  • Analytics
  • Payroll
  • HR
  • Performance Reviews
  • Compensation Cycles
  • Learning Management Module
  • Integrated document management
  • Engagement
  • Talent Acquisition
  • Flexible and fully integrated HCM
All of the above. We are only limited by our configuration within Ceridian Dayforce.
This would be a great question to ask of a functional area leader. In my role as, a system administrator, I do not make these decisions.
Having an integrated solution has improved manager and employee self-service and data accuracy (one source of truth).

Did implementation of Dayforce go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dayforce again?

Yes

Ceridian Dayforce is flexible software; if your application support team is creative and compliant minded, Ceridian Dayforce will work for all industries. You get what pay for... hire Ceridian consultants for your implementation. I have experienced (24 years in HR) too many problems with software implementations using third-party consultants. Also, demand the 'A' team for your projects. It will cost you, but it is money well spent. The general application support is good but needs improvement with customer engagement related to, EDI file, Tax Services, and Garnishment support. They are slow to respond, have 'canned' responses, and generally take a long time to resolve issues.
