Overall Satisfaction with Dayforce HCM
Our whole organization uses Dayforce HCM. We are in the process of implementing the payroll, recruitment & benefits modules. Currently, as a high level overview, the business problems that Dayforce HCM addresses include workflows for form approvals, managing employee data, running timely and accurate reports to pull information driving efficiencies, updating employee records, and managing timesheets and schedules.
- Reporting - easy to customize & create for the data you need.
- Options for customization - can submit requests for customization more applicable to your organization e.g. creating forms.
- Managing employee records - information in one spot (My HR).
- Technical functionality e.g. error messages coming up but not knowing what the error is e.g. "An exception has occurred."
- Positive - less transactional tasks in HR for reporting purposes, time can be spent elsewhere, and soon to be more with implementation of Recruitment module.
- Positive - less transactional tasks for Payroll team, and soon to be more with implementation of Payroll & Benefits modules.
We have not implemented the Payroll module yet.
We use pay policies, and rules to calculate various types of OT in different parts of the organization. We run compliance reports for timesheet approvals done by managers. We created and run a report monthly to calculate excess hour and report to HRSDC using this information.
Dayforce Feature Ratings
Using Dayforce HCM
1500
4 - Payroll team, two members of the HR team. HR manages the forms, and reporting. Payroll manages employee data and enrolling new hires (no recruitment module implemented yet). The skills required are technological skills and being able to learn new software quickly and to be able to self teach as you use the product to be able to get the most out of it. SQL skills are an asset as this can help with reporting and creating custom forms.
- Employee Information management.
- Reporting.
- Workflow and form approval for employee changes, promotions, rate increases, etc.
- Payroll management (soon to implement the payroll module).

- Filling out new hire packages within the system vs. paper based outside the system
