Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Dayforce is our Payroll Engine system for timekeeping and Time & Attendance management. We also use the Performance, Talent, Compensation, and Learning modules of Dayforce. Dayforce Wallet is another product that is rolled out across North America. This helps us have a one-stop-shop HCM solution for our region where everything from employee master data to Payroll data to performance data lives, giving us a homogeneous platform to perform most of our HR calendar activities and then leveraging that rich data set to drive meaningful analytics.

Pros

  • Custom reporting.
  • Time management, Time & attendance
  • Compensation planning.

Cons

  • Elections management.
  • Retirement arrears management.
  • Talent card.
  • Improved efficiency resulted in right sizing of Payroll team.
  • Tax and compliance piece managed by Ceridian as part of managed services.
  • Ability to integrate with global core HCM helped improve data quality.
We don't use Ceridian benefits, so we do have to have multiple up and downstream integrations.

Strengths - 1. Payroll engine - strong, intuitive, user friendly 2. Time management - pretty strong out-of-the-box offering, capable of base-level schedule optimization 3. Performance module - very easy to set up and run the entire performance management cycle. Opportunities - 1. Compensation planning is rolling up to a role and not a person in a role. 2. Merging of two reports to build a custom report 3. Data field directory/labeling to be able to pull/post through API accurately.
