Overall Satisfaction with Dayforce

We use DayForce for HR, Payroll, Benefits and Talent Acquistion. We are a property management firm with over 3000 employees and this allows us to have an integrated system which flows onto the other modules without having to enter everything manually. We can have employees being hired and flow into the timecards for each site so the managers can see them and see their employee profiles.

Pros

  • Flow benefits to payroll elections
  • Flow new hires to site managers
  • Flow changes to payroll

Cons

  • The ability to see more than one week in timesheets
  • Be easier to integrate mass changes
  • Have better functionality in most modules. Unable to modify without assistance
  • Too many upgrades which affect other areas not anticipated
  • DayForce has helped us in reporting
  • It has helped us with the integration in the system between modules
  • It has helped with employee information
It has been timesaving having all in the same application as for the most part information flows over. We have had some issues using Lever being integrated into our payroll system. We have also had issues with taxation and retro adjustments. We have to manually fix them. It should be better built into the system.

Yes

Did Dayforce live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Dayforce go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dayforce again?

No

I believe DayForce is well suited for smaller companies maybe located all in one state. The reciprocity doesn't really work well and historical adjustments particularly in the work assignment area do not work well. The larger we get the more problems we have started encountering. Also with the change of policy it may become too expensive to maintain particularly with the terminated employee fee which is one of the reasons we chose Dayforce over others.
