Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dayforce in all of our US locations and are currently implementing in Europe. We replaced multiple timekeeping systems with Dayforce along with our payroll and HR. This has made training from the executive level all the way to the line employee level much easier and consistent. The self-service is also a great addition and employees are able to view their records immediately without having to wait.

Pros and Cons

The integrated system between the time, payroll and HR functions makes so much more sense than having separate systems.
The ability to view future payrolls and make future entries rather than waiting until immediately before processing is awesome.
Ceridian is always looking at ways to improve and very open to customer suggestions.

The tax setup in HR is cumbersome and not user-friendly. Would love to be able to view only current active taxes in an employee's record with the option to view inactive.
The Payroll feature (HTML version) runs very slow compared to the My Pay feature.
Ceridian recently changed from a 3rd party vendor managing garnishment compliance to an in-house team and product. Although the reasoning was good the change over made a lot of problems in compliance. The calculations changed without the clients knowledge and the errors were discovered after a few months had passed. There should have been better communication concerning the change.

Return on Investment

We have had a reduction in the use of paper due to the self service.
Increased productivity in having the same product in all locations

Using Dayforce for Compliance

The ability to have pay rules written in the system saves us time in having to verify the employee payments are correct. I love the feature enabling us to import bonuses that are FLSA eligible and allowing the system to calculate OT premium on the bonus rather than having to do manual calculations

Alternatives Considered

The ability to view actions in the employee record in real time prior to actually paying the employee is a great benefit. I am certainly glad we have implemented to Dayforce.

Likelihood to Recommend

Everything can be seen in real time and depending on the level of access employees can see their punches and what has been updated by the manager. This gives them the opportunity to review their hours and pay prior to the payroll processing. There are reports that admins can use to balance timesheet to payroll and with the real time updates can calculate a payroll as often as needed to confirm accurate payments.

A 10 for Ceridian!
