Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Ceridian Dayforce for hourly employees to clock in and out for their shifts and meals, request time off, input time off for emergencies, manage job candidates for review and scheduling interviews. It's a centralized software for us to track all employee hours and requests. We also can review and approve hours for payroll as well as to select and manage our benefits throughout the year.

Pros and Cons

Managing employee hours for payroll
Managing our personal benefit selections
Import candidate data from Indeed for hiring manager review

Ceridian Dayforce will show if an employee has approved hours off for a day, but does not specify the time; you have to access their actual time requested from another page.
Ceridian Dayforce is sometimes sluggish to respond and can give errors when saving information so it has to be done a second time.
It's not easy in Ceridian Dayforce to see how many hours off an employee has taken over any specific time period.

Return on Investment

Allows easy management of employees' schedules and time off requests to ensure proper shift coverage
Great centralized management and review of benefit selections

Likelihood to Recommend

Ceridian Dayforce is a good centralized human resource software for managing employee schedules, payroll, time off requests, and benefits. It's generally easy to use, but sometimes requires a few extra steps, such as if an employee is shown to have 2 hours scheduled off during a specific day, you don't see what hours on the timesheet. You have to go to a separate page to pull up time off requests if you want to see exactly when the employee is going to be away.
