My overall experience is a good one and I am glad there are such softwares that can be used for our professional needs.
I found it difficult to edit my hours when sometimes I would accidentally input the wrong times into the wrong date.
It has very reliable insights about workers which makes it easy to offer excellent work conditions which benefits both the company and the employee.
Some times you may not able to perform any action and you would probably do some wrong action due to unaware of things in it.
The biggest advantage of using Workday Benefits is how easy the website is to navigate. There is a mobile app that is very user friendly and then there is the desktop version as well.
Money pit - a software company that charges you for regular updates to their software.
Workday is a fantastic tool as an employee to see all HR-related needs in one place. The search function is great, it has a lot of features, and the navigation is very easy to use.
Their expensive user training courses are absolutely appalling for adult learners - 4 days in a classroom flicking through a 500 page bound workbook, anyone.
Ceridian has been a lifesaver in meeting our payroll needs. Their customer support is outstanding.
Currently, unfortunately, we have to keep track of everything on a spreadsheet which can cause some room for error or questionable practices.
Overall it is a very good product and allows us to process payroll smoothly. The customer service team are friendly, picks up your call quickly and are super helpful at answering your questions.
Once I am used to the interface of the program and you changed it after a number of years is annoying.
Ceridian representatives are knowledgeable and happy to help. I've appreciated their webinars on various topics.
Needed to work around only one type of sick time drawing from the accumulator, can't print out employee's transactions for the year without going into every pay period separately.
The software can be learned quickly. The software's ease of use coupled with the robust customer support will make for a successful outcome.
Anytime I have a problem I just call in and its direct to a live agent.
Christos: My name is Christos. I am a senior compensation analyst, and I work for Braze Incorporated. And the headcount, I can give as well, which is 1,500 employees. Workday HCM, I would give a four out of five. Workday HCM is used for our payroll services within the company as just a generality. We use it to keep track of leave of absence, time off, bonus requests, just various different HR systems, things that we need. However, now we are using it to store salary bands, and that's more of where I come into play, where we're building out bands and storing them within job descriptions and job profiles within each individual employee and department. I just really enjoy the user-friendliness of the platform. It's really easy to navigate between the landing pages. Even for the compensation team, we have our comp dashboard, which allows us to pull this various reports that we're looking for, so that's very helpful and intuitive. But even as a user of just even being an employee of the company, it's very easy to go through my compensation, my pay history, my pay stubs, my bonus cycles, even just my managerial tree. It's an easy to navigate system, which I can appreciate. Especially if someone hasn't seen it before, it's easy to teach. I'm not necessarily the systems expert when it comes to loading in data and whatnot, but we do use a separate system for our comp cycles, which I understand can happen in Workday. However, from my experience, the reason why it wasn't a five out of five is just the way that the two systems read off each other. For me, Workday, even though it's intuitive when it comes to loading data, it's very fickle in certain circumstances since I've used it for the last three years, and I would just like to see a little bit more improvement in being able to be more modified towards these new systems that we're using, like the AQMS and the Oracles. I just found it rather difficult to... It's been the same for a while. I'd like to see a little bit more uplift when it comes to the loading of data. However, with that being said, I know there's room for improvement just from the platform's perspective on that, from a system side.
Samantha F.: Hello. My name is Sam. I'm the Director of Finance within the aviation industry. I rate Powerpay five of five. For more reviews like this click, the link below. We use Ceridian Powerpay to manage many day-to-day business activities, such as time off requests. We use it to get much HR support. We use it for everyday payroll processing and to remit all of our payroll taxes. The thing I love most about Powerpay is that I can have a customer service representative within couple seconds on the phone. There's no waiting. It's just, if you have a question, you dial in a number and like I said, within a couple of seconds, you're able to speak to a real person, in real time, who can help you solve all of your payroll issues. They can log right into your payroll account and show you right on your screen what you've done wrong, or what you need to do in order to solve the problem that you have. The thing I like least about Powerpay is within a new app that they just launched called Powerpay People. It allows you to manage the time off requests for employees. It has a clock-in/ clock-out functionality and other great, potentially great, solutions for small businesses like mine. The thing I like least about it, sorry, is that it's expensive. I think it's very unaffordable for small businesses and it doesn't always work super great when you go to use the payroll processing function. For example, if an employee submits an eight hour time off request using their vacation time, but say they worked through their lunch the day before, so they were hoping to only use seven hours of vacation, it actually doesn't allow the payroll administrator, such as myself, to go back and edit their time off requests, to be only for seven hours instead of eight, which is slightly problematic. However, I have spoken with the tech team and they've said that they're actually in development of making this a little bit more user-friendly, which would be awesome. So I look forward to seeing what they come up with and I also hope that in the future, they can lower the startup fees associated with the time, the clock-in/clock-out functionality. Right now, I think it's a thousand dollars. But anyways, hopefully it gets used more and they're able to lower those fees for small businesses.
