### "The Best Payroll Company"

June 24, 2021

5.0

Pros

The system is user-friendly. It is easy and fast to use and insert information.

Cons

The information for each employee could be more accessible to HR. Sometimes I spent time finding the profile for each employee.

Reason for choosing Dayforce Powerpay

Because I received many good reviews from some colleagues. And after my meeting with the Ceridian Representative, I was sure that it would be the best decision for our company.

Pros

I have been using Powerpay for 10+ years. Powerpay takes care of the details of payroll so I don't have to. I am kept informed of important changes and support is always available on the phone. Ceridian representatives are knowledgeable and happy to help! I've appreciated their webinars on various topics.

### "A hassle-free way to manage payroll"

February 26, 2020

5.0

Powerpay has allowed me to handle my payroll responsibilities without needing an accounting department behind me. Submitting payroll is quick, Powerpay provides timely reminders and Support always answers my questions promptly. Using Powerpay is like having an extra team member in the office. As a small non-profit, this has saved us precious dollars that we can redirect towards our mission.

Pros

Powerpay handles all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into paying employees so I don't need to worry about calculating deductions at source, creating T4s and submitting required installments.

Cons

For a novice user, Powerpay can feel daunting at first.

### "Simple to Use"

December 11, 2020

5.0

Pros

Once you get the hang of using the software, it can be pretty simple to use. I do like it tells me an error and let me change it before it is finalized. I also like I can preview the full payroll before it gets submit. It is web based so I can process my payroll anywhere.

Cons

I don't like changes. Once I am used to the interface of the program and you changed it after a number of years is annoying.
