Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

I add features and authorization to see various fields of data to new or existing roles in Dayforce. I control what leaders can see data for their organization or the full organization. I run reports to verify data fields are complete for new hires to be paid correctly and access Dayforce. I provide requested reports to company leadership or enable certain forms and reports to be self service to employees based on approved access level (manager, HR Partner, VP, etc.)
  • Limiting data view to specific roles (Manager, VP, HR, employee views)
  • Assigning a new job to any employee
  • Changing employee pay via a structured form
  • Setting up workflows to allow multiple approvers before a final approval.
  • Reassigning a manager to an employee when the original manager resigns/ is terminated.
  • Ability to drag any field in Dayforce into a custom report.
  • Make onboarding less complicated to set up
  • Increased productivity
  • Better reporting
  • Better data security
automate compliance with labor union rules, automate compliance with acknowledgement of company policies, automate employee personal data changes through self service forms.
Real time scheduling, real time punches show in the software, real time payroll calulation, on-demand pay for employees, better view of compensation year over year.
All of the info for Payroll, HR updates, employee updates, Time worked and PTO are in a single application, with a single login, updated in every screen or module in real time. There is no lag in data from screen to screen or from user to user, its almost instant.
