What do you like best about Dayforce?

I like that Ceridian is updating their products and trying to stay comparable with other systems and programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

I don't like that there seem to be multiple areas that some changes need to be made in (for example, we pay quarterly bonuses and want to hid the pay stub info until pay day. Do do this, I need to go to 3 different areas each time we pay the bonus just to hid the info. I even had to remove access on the employees access). I had previously used a different provider and I had a direct contact for help and questions. I really liked that I knew my contact and they knew me and my company. I don't like that I speak to a different person every time I have a question or concern. I don't like that most things are done through email. I find that my question is often not really understood, and the answer I get isn't even close to the question. I don't like that when I call someone for assistance, 80% of the time they don't have a solution. I know we are moving into a more digital world, but I believe when it comes down to computer systems and programing and people's pay...it's calming and helpful to talk to someone. I understand that your employees are all over the world, but I think sometimes, the writing word is misunderstood as one party maybe isn't using a word correctly and then things get misinterpreted.

Overall, I find the system responds very slowly and takes a long time to update changes. I find the system relies a lot on the user having a little more advanced computer skills than the average person. I think the system could be more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had to switch to a touchless system due to COVID-19. Ceridian helped us change our clocks over to a touchless system. We have remained open though the pandemic and have had to make a lot of changes to ensure the safety of our employees. I have been able to make several changes to help ensure that the payroll runs smoother. Setting up arrears and decling balance deductions has helped us keep track of employee deductions better.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

The system has several modules like recruitment, performance management, payroll, benefits and more that are helpful in managing end to end HR operations. There are also cool features like document management, ability to setup workflows, create forms which have helped us in reducing the need for paper.

There is ability to create custom fields and custom forms and introduce levels in approval process. Many new features are being introduced like on demand pay, benefit intelligence and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

The system is smart and pretty intuitive at times. But one does need to attend trainings and learn from peers what the best practices are. The customer support team is very helpful and prompt is troubleshooting.

The Dayforce customer group is very small. There is a user community group which is very active and meets regularly to share updates.

Most features are available but there is a need to customize reports or build file feeds with vendors. These are very expensive projects and cannot be done inhouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dayforce:

Speak with as many customers as possible. Ceridian also invites potential customers to their annual customer meet which is a good opportunity to network with other customers, meet product specialists and attend product trainings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have been able to streamline the benefits management and payroll processes. It has also helped us in conducting audits to maintain compliance. It has improved our communication with employees. Managing a paper based enrollment process for 2000 employees was a nightmare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer service has been prompt and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

Occasionally the website will run slowly. There is a lot of features so learning the complete picture does take awhile. Sometimes it feels like "I don't know what I don't know." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

The capabilities are endless with Dayforce. There are so many features that reduce the amount of user error and safeguard company policies. The network of users to bounce ideas off with are endless. Ceridian Support is also very helpful and always respond in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

You need to be a tech nerd to be able to work a lot of the back end interfaces in order to make things "go." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've recently used Data Mapping to Define Properties based off of the submission of another property. For example, we select that an employee is Full-Time, therefore it automatically assigns average weekly and average daily hours without the HR Administrator having to do anything! You can build as many rules as you like! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

Dayforce is very customizable. Most of the configuration can be done by you. Things like off-cycle pay runs, new pay codes, updating GL numbers, etc., are all done by you, (or your HRIS person!) and are mostly quick and easy. Calculations are in real time, so employees can see their pay in Timesheets and you don't have to wait more than a couple minutes to calculate a payroll at any time - even future payrolls. Almost all changes are date driven, so you can enter new hires before they actually start, etc. You can have multiple FEINs in one pay group - including multiple funding accounts. Retro pay is automatically calculated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

Most of the configuration can be done by you - this is good and bad because you need to devote a good bit of time to learning all the ins and outs of the system, and it is indeed, time consuming. Also, if you need anything configured that was not covered in implementation, it will cost you, and it will take a good bit of time - such as benefit feeds or customized reports, or any re-configuring of your org.

As with every system I've used in the past 20+ years, leave accruals, (PTO, Sick, VAC, etc.), are confusing and complicated. Also, creating a custom report can be tricky.

Training costs are too high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Integrated systems have saved us a lot of time. Especially the Timekeeping system.

Employee Self-Service has been a big time, and paper, saver! (Looking forward to implementing Manager Self-Service!)

So many of the Payroll functions have saved time in processing - from automatic retro pay calcs, to quick pays for terms, to payroll card integration, to all the previews for auditing, to payouts and off-cycle payroll set-ups, the payroll system is a gem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dayforce?

The support team has been nothing short of amazing. We recently transitioned staffing in HR and IT. The support team helped us make a seamless transition. Dayforce is intuitive and easy to use if your team collaborates to establish the initial set up. We had some challenges and worked through revamping our entitlements rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dayforce?

Our initial set up of entitlement rules did not set us up for success. The recovery has been great. As a customer, we needed more guidance to avoid some pit falls that we are working through successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We resolved scheduling and entitlements issues that we had throughout the organization. Dayforce streamlined our processes. An added bonus is communication through Dayforce. We are able to share information and updates with every employee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
