The system is easy to understand and utilize. It is easy to direct employees there as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great benefit for employee's who want to access their W2 and paycheck stub documents. I have realized that it is very user friendly and helpful for employee self-service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

The support from our Implementation team, to our Account Management team, to the Product Support team, have consistently been phenomenal. The vast amount of support from webinars, conferences and other resources (i.e. Ceridian Education Center), is top notch and very valuable.

The product is also transforming, meeting our needs and introducing new functionality that we can incorporate into our organization to be more efficient and manage our employees better.

The product is also ever revolving; Ceridian continues to push to make improvements and updates year to year, and throughout the year, with dedicated teams that have leveraging technology as a key component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

If I had to name something I dislike, it would have to be the complexity of the application. However, I understand that it has to be complex with a lot of what is happening in the background, and with experience and time, gradually understand how things are 'connected'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dayforce:

If you are looking for a partner, and an innovatiive 'All in One' solution, consider Ceridian Dayforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Payroll processing and auditing is simplified "100x". Having Recruiting and Onboarding on the same application improves efficiency with New Hires. Being a single application solution allows so many reporting possibilities to be derived from one complete data source; and generating reports is much easier than in prior solutions we've used.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

I like the fact that WFM flows right into payroll, You are not entering things multiple times like with ADP and the system has so much to offer. The fact that is it really one system is a game changer. Ceridian also puts a big focus on training and customer support and engagement. Their yearly conference is a huge help and networking with other clients is so beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

The only thing I do not like about the system is reporting. It is so hard to get a nice report without having to use pivot tables and V-lookups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a true HRIS program so Dayforce has been a huge help to get us more up-to date. We realized how this software makes it easy to communicate with staff and they can contact HR and Payroll with it too. It has helped us reduce paper and waste and grow as a company.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

Dayforce has become the focal point of our HR solutions by being the most adaptable that we have to our consistently evolving needs. We manufacture Consumer Packaged Goods and have around 20 plants in the US and Canada. Each plant and our headquarters have their own ways of working, some collectively bargained, and we've been able to build and accommodate all of the rules, policies and features we've needed to ensure our population has a great experience with the HR/Payroll software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

There are occasional bugs in the semi-annual releases that quickly get resolved but can sometimes leave us scrambling if we choose to be part of the day 1 launches. We tend to stick to the second wave but we push sometimes to try to be part of the cutting edge for all of Ceridian's new product offerings. If our trade off for innovation is the risk of a bug or two, then it's worth it to bring an even better experience to our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dayforce:

Dayforce can do pretty much anything you ask it to. It's an incredibly intuitive system that makes sense on the back end. The most important thing you can do when designing your system is understand precisely what all the rules you want to implement are and how they are supposed to interact with other rules. Our implementation team was great, but our internal requirements weren't clear so over the past 2 years we've had to go back and rebuild a lot of our policies after the teams started recognizing that what they asked for wasn't what they actually wanted. Luckily, it's easy enough to understand the system that our internal administrators were able to do the full policy rebuilds for particular plants who needed it without having to resort to additional Ceridian work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've got dozens of hyper-complex pay and punch polices that require behind-the-scenes calculations for everything from shift differential to double-time-on-7th-consecutive-day-even-with-personal-holiday based on some of the agreed to Union rules. A healthy knowledge of the back end of the system has allowed us to meet all of the rules we're trying to with minimal manual intervention by our payroll and hr teams out in the field. Our biggest win this year was launching a 15% COVID premium for our front line workers in less than 24 hours for around 20 pay policies that took into account all the OT and DT rules company-wide.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

it technically does the things the things I need it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

Nothing is intuitive, I can't see any info about indirect report, I have to ask my staff to retrain me on how to approve their vacation request every time they request one, then I go train my manager to approve mine because the system makes no sense. I have to toggle between employee and manager mode all the time. I really am just in there for vacation requests, to find them, I have to go to either "approvals" which is a small checkbox, or go to "time away list" which can't be found in any menu unless you customize your home page to include it. no universal search bar.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

Dayforce is very easy to use and get the hang of quickly. I like being able to see all of my staffs timesheets in one place. I like that I can see a red "x" where a specific punch is not completely valid for reasons such as missed clock-in or clock-out. It doesn't let me approve the time without first alerting me of the issue with whatever specific punch, which I appreciate. I can go in and make changes to times as needed. If an employee forgets to clock in, I can also go in and do it manually on my end (though I wish they would always just clock in! LOL) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

I haven't really found anything that I dislike. I haven't had any problems figuring out how to use it across multiple points. It would be nice to be able to see a specific employee's clock ins as a whole, instead of having to go week by week. There very well could be a way to do this but I haven't found it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dayforce:

I would absolutely recommend using Dayforce. I feel as though it is pretty easy to grasp, even for people who may not always grasp things easily and quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dayforce allows me to approve the timesheets of my staff quickly and easily. I can see exactly when they clock in and out, including any breaks. I can approve them all at once, too. It's easy to me to find what I am looking for. I can even see their past pay stubs to see if anything was missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

Our decision to implement Dayforce came as a result of the twilight of the previous Ceridian HPW product. The Ceridian team was wonderful to work with and provided knowledgeable guidance to keep us on track to meet the timeline. We have been live in Dayforce for almost five years. Having an application that encompasses time & attendance, payroll and HR is priceless. We were able to customize the application to fit our company policies and streamline work that was once done in multiple databases. Access to real time data is also a game changer. Updates to personnel records, timesheets and schedules can be accessed by users immediately without the need to print or post paper throughout the manufacturing facility.

Management is able to utilize analytics to make process improvements and strategic business decisions. Employees are able to not only see data but are able to update information via online forms, as well as view their timesheets. They play a key role in insuring they are compensated correctly in the now, rather than a week or more after the fact. Reduction in on-site or manual checks saves time and money. The reasons to transition to Dayforce go on and on. Ceridian also does an amazing job keeping the system up to date. System administrators are able to provide feedback and ideas to Ceridian that can be reviewed and/or implemented in future updates. What's not to like?! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

There really is no downside that would make me discourage anyone from implementing Dayforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dayforce:

If you are looking for a customizable solution to your human capital management issues, Dayforce is a wonderful option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a company, we save time and resources that used to be spent doing other menial tasks like transferring information from one database to another. Payroll reporting is streamlined with time & attendance being easily calculated to the payroll feature in the same application. Time away from work is more easily tracked and visible to managers and administrators in real time. Processes that were once managed on paper or in binders are online and viewable by all stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

We just went live with Dayforce 2 months ago and our implementation experience was so wonderful. Having done implementations with other vendors, I can say that this was the best implementation I have been part of so far. The project was organized so well and the learning resources were incredibly useful. Our data migration specialist was particularly good and was key to our ultimately successful move to the platform. I also like the reporting feature so far and how robust it is. I feel I will be able to utilize this for a lot of things going forward to help us complete our required reporting more efficiently and to make better decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

Reporting for BC EHT at the employee level is not currently possible. It would be nice to have this feature, as the process is currently more difficult than with our previous vendor. I also don't like that there is less flexibility when editing a record of employment (ROE). When amending an ROE it means I need to open up a prior pay period and do an off-cycle run just for one amended ROE, which is more complicated than I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dayforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a global payroll (currently 3 countries) all on one platform has made things a lot easier. Having our HR records in the same place as payroll was a big problem that has been solved by this platform as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
