### "One Stop Shop"

October 18, 2018

4.0

I have had some really great support people helping me through my first open enrolment and it has really been great!

Pros

I love the ease of logging into one system to get access to all my needs from processing a new employee to processing payroll and beyond. Having access to everything I need in one location for employees make my work life happier and more efficient!

Cons

The vast amount of information to sort through with any upgrade can be overwhelming. Would be nice to have a script to test through so I can be sure I am covering all of my bases before it is live on production.

### "Dayforce"

December 5, 2019

4.0

Overall I enjoy using dayforce. It is easy to see my available PTO.

Pros

This software is a great tool for time entry. I like that I can easily see the number of hours worked.

Cons

The one con is sometimes it is hard to edit time. It is also sometimes hard to find what you’re looking for.

### "Best HCM I've used! "

June 28, 2019

5.0

Our HR/Payroll functions have improved dramatically. We were 90% paper-based and now I would say we are 15% paper based or less. It was a lot of work to implement Dayforce for a 4000+ employee company but it was so worth it.

Pros

Single platform HCM with real time functionality, promotes paperless HR/Payroll processing, makes payroll processing a breeze, Ceridian constantly enhances the product and listens to customer feedback

Cons

It's been challenging going from the Silverlight-based functions to the HTML because we were used to using the Silverlight modules but now that we're getting used to the new HTML modules I really like them. The challenging part about getting used to the new HTML modules is we had just implemented Dayforce so we were still getting used to the software itself and then we had to get used to a new version in HTML which had a different look/feel.

### "Dayforce"

December 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

Software easy to use. We use it at work for checking in/out, requesting time off, and viewing paystubs. nothing to fancy just a basic program.

Cons

I wish there was a way to see what time off that your colleagues have requested so you don't request the same day off.

December 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

I use this app every day for work. I can change my availability, request for time off, swap shifts, etc. The layout is clean and simple. I can also login with a fingerprint which makes things much faster.

Cons

There isn't anything that I don't like about this app.

### "Dayforce for corporate "

March 6, 2019

3.0

Before Dayforce we were scheduling by hand and factoring in written employee availability which changes constantly. It was extremely helpful to have the availability added in in real time when the employee needed to make changes. I enjoyed using it.

Pros

What I liked most about this software was the ability to connect it to excel to print schedules. The software is relatively user friendly once you got the hang of it which only took about a week of use.

Cons

Sometimes it got a little glitchy but I believe that was due to our corporate restraints on what stores could and couldn’t do within the program.

May 16, 2019

Pros

I love that I can clock in and out from my smartphone rather than having to clock in and out at work.

### "Growing with Dayforce "

February 3, 2017

4.0

We are growing our workforce and Dayforce has joined with us to help keep up with with out pace. We have a great relationship with our product manager, Pamela Schaffer, she keeps us in the loop for upcoming training and events, she ensures we have the ability to resolve our issues by assisting as needed and escalating issues when needed. Ceridian events such as Insights provides opportunities to network with others in our industry as well as on sight training

Pros

Front end ease, ability for administrators to configure system to meet our needs

Cons

The 9/80 work ability needs additional research to meet expected results

### "Employee User Review"

February 17, 2023

5.0

Good experience - I would recommend it to other companies to use for the HR systems.

Pros

The main page was easy to navigate and use. I was able to get to everything I needed without searching endlessly on a busy screen. I appreciated the time of functionality as well as the benefits administration functionality. It was all super easy to work through.

Cons

I did not like the performance management system set up. It was not set up in a user friendly way. I also didn't like the rating system wasn't well explained - for example, meets expectations vs meets expectations beyond.

### "Ceridian's Dayforce Software"

June 15, 2017

4.0

When implementing, you must know ahead of time what your organization set up is and how it will expand out to all levels. It would also help to have some programming background. Dayforce is one system, so be aware all changes can effect another.

Pros

It is an incredibly comprehensive and customizable product. The training that is offered is vast and at all levels. Implementation was supportive and provided a team that worked well with ours. The offer so many avenues of training, support and networking. I love the payroll side and I find it much easier to use than ADP's Workforce now.

Cons

Customer support is not as responsive as I would like. It is not an instant set up, it takes a lot of programming to customize it to your company. Dayforce is not a cookie cutter system it takes work to make sure that your organization is reflected correctly for HR and Payroll.

### "Payroll Pension Benefits Supervisor"

June 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

Best thing about Dayforce there is no interface. Everything is done in real time. I have the ability to do a lot more reporting wise

Cons

My cons is when there are new upgrades they some time effect other things in the application which can be annoying at time. We usually have to work around this until there is a fix

### "Delights of Dayforce "

November 19, 2019

4.0

I have setup this software on a computer, insert new employees, used the device for my own time upkeep. I do enjoy the ability that it gives you to keep up with leave availability, any documents you have signed, and copy of payroll.

Pros

There is easy access to anything you may need where your employment is concerned. I am able to access pay stubs, W2, health care documents, and any sick/vacation time I have available. It is easier than having to reach out to an HR person every time you need something.

Cons

The forgotten password feature is hard on the everyday employee, because it only gives you a limited number of attempts and then your HR person must get it reset for you. This may cause you to have to wait for hours or days to get a new password.

### "Benefits"

October 23, 2019

5.0

So far it has been good, we are still working the bugs out of benefits but otherwise we like the software

Pros

Takes away paperwork from HR and employees. Saves times and resources

Cons

Challlenges in getting the data to the vendors and approval process to get it up and running

Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM

The multiple modules to streamline the HR process.

### "DayForce - one product does it all"

October 23, 2019

5.0

Real time payroll allows us to audit payroll often and not wait until processing day. During implementation many of our PM left during the project which delayed our progress. Also, some of the IC did not understand US law which we then had to explain how to set up our payroll.

Pros

Single sign on to do payroll, HR records, performance module, compensation.

Cons

When searching for employees, we need to know which company, department to search for their timesheets.

### "HR Software At It's Finest!"

September 5, 2017

5.0

Great tool. Have used many HR products over the years and this is by far the easiest, and most user friendly tool of the bunch. I would recommend this application to anyone searching for their next HR suite.

Pros

Robust Feature List, Intuitive Design, Customizable Fields and Forms, Custom Reporting and Dashboards, One Stop shop for all HR needs including Payroll

Cons

Slow Customer Service Response. I also dislike the payroll preview. we have had situations where employees see preliminary numbers. These issues are minor and easily overcome.

### "So not user friendly... Old."

April 4, 2018

1.0

Cons

Everything? Probably. Let's start with the fact it requires Silverlight in your browser to work. It's 2018 now. UI is designed to generate clicks after clicks to find what you need.

### "Intuitive and Easy"

January 18, 2018

4.0

Most systems are easy, this system would be great for a large company with one dedicated COBRA administrator or for a single person department that just needs a little help with the demands/regulations for COBRA notification. I never worry that I am out of compliance when I use Ceridian.

Pros

We use it as a TPA of COBRA, and it is very much aligned to help with a one person department. Once you add someone to the system you can use it from hire notice to COBRA notice smoothly. I like the portal, and find that they developers definitely had hard core HR knowledge. They handle everything as long as the data is accurate, we only moved away from this platform when the insurance broker took over COBRA admin for us.

Cons

In the perfect world i could afford to have it integrate with the current ATS, but that is not the case. Also, the reports can be clunky but once you set up your favorites and schedule them you can expect them to run well.

### "Another happy customer!"

March 2, 2017

5.0

Our company made the switch in 2013 to Dayforce and we are so glad we did! The software is easy to use and support services has been very helpful as our needs have changed throughout our contract. We are currently using Dayforce for general HRIS functions including timekeeping, payroll, benefits, and taxes, and are on the cusp of rolling out recruiting and scheduling for full HR integration. It was a big leap for our company to leave our prior payroll company and go with Dayforce, but we are so happy we did. We have more reports and metrics available for analysis than ever before.

Pros

Clear, easy to use interface
