Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

Dayforce was implemented company-wide to address time tracking, payroll, benefits, HRIS, recruiting, HR workflow management and performance reviews. It is used by all levels of employees.
  • Real time updates to payroll
  • Latest updates always included in costs
  • Able to track time independently when an employee has more than one position.
  • Report creation tool takes effort to learn
  • Simplified workflows
  • Eliminated paper forms for many things
  • Accountability for processing paperwork timely
ACA module easily creates 1095c and tracks part-time hours.
It creates a very easy to use record for each employee.
Fewer errors and less time spent on payroll
Dayforce is a great all-in-one product. It works best in companies that are able to use the technology. It is not well suited for companies that prefer paper processes.
