### "Clocking In "

December 26, 2019

4.0

The program took some time to get use to as there were many tabs and icons. There were some issues with clocking in that is currently being addressed by the supervisor. However, the program does what it was intended to do.

Pros

The thing I like about Dayforce is how organize and clean the program looks. It looks very professional.

Cons

The program auto injects a lunch period even if you did not take a lunch break. So if you don’t pay attention, you might not get paid for 30 minutes.

### "Easy to use"

April 1, 2020

5.0

I’ve had a great experience so far and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for this kind of software for their business.

Pros

I can find everything I need easily - most options are on the home page. Requesting time off or seeing how many hours I’m scheduled for only takes a few seconds. It’s reliable.

Cons

Sometimes logging into the website from my phone can get glitchy - the whole site won’t show unless my phone is switched to portrait mode.

### "Ceridian makes work easier"

October 17, 2018

5.0

So far we have had a great experience with Dayforce and the team at Ceridian we are looking forward to hopefully implementing the WFM module and a few other to assist in our daily work

Pros

The ease of the payroll data and the abilbity to do multiple payroll reviews when needs. The ablity to run very simple off cycle pay runs

Cons

Sometimes slow and if you do not save the Payroll data entry you can lose the information you have entered. There is not a great audit report for payroll in terms of per pay period changes like the one in Insync Blue

### "This robust all-in-one HRIS is the best system out there. "

February 23, 2018

5.0

It has made processing payroll, time cards, benefits, on-boarding and many other HR tasks much easier and faster to do.

Pros

I absolutely LOVE how dedicated Dayforce is to their customers. How they yearn for feedback and suggestions and then actually listen to their customers and implement those suggestions.

Cons

The learning curve is HUGE. It is such an intricate, feature laden product, you almost have to become a part time programmer to be able to navigate and use it to it's full potential.

### "Dayforce HCM is best human resoruce system in the market today."

April 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

The all in one system is great and convenient for the daily payroll tasks. The App makes life easier for everyone in the business who don't seat in front of a monitor everyday.

Cons

Customer service can sometime be not useful on level one. Not have the capability for our IT staff to access the background data.

### "A work in progress "

October 17, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like that we can see all of our locations’ payroll and HR records in a single website. With over 12,000 employees and across multiple states this makes oversight much easier.

Cons

Financial reporting is not what we hoped for; it feels like a lot of reports we had that made our lives easier with our previous software are missing in Dayforce.

### "Dayforce makes benefits easy to manage"

November 6, 2018

5.0

This has been a very easy to check balances for timeoff, see what is pending, and reenroll in benefits for the following year.

Pros

Time off requests are managed by adding a request to the calendar and allowing the manager to approve it after reviewing the details. It is an easy place to look at paycheck stubs, monitor benefits, and check calendar for up coming events or holiday schedule. Very user friendly and intuitive.

Cons

Sometimes it needs to download content which may take a minute.

### "Good company with an easy to use platform"

April 5, 2018

4.0

Good company overall

Pros

Very easy to use with minimal problems. At first there were issues directly after implementation but now little to no issues at all. Just improving as we go along.

Cons

implementation team could have been a bit more hands on as far as being more involved in our implementation and learning more about our company's needs.

### "Confusing for employees and for administrators it seems"

April 23, 2019

3.0

Pros

There's a lot of information that can be stored in Dayforce about different employees. It could in theory be a "one stop shop" for employee data if used correctly.

Cons

The software is not really intuitive. Myself as well as the company administrators had issues making sure info was entered correctly, all appropriate boxes are checked, etc. Perhaps this is the type of software that is better more more specialized positions that can really dig in to understanding it.

### "A balance between users and admins"

January 22, 2021

4.0

Integration was slightly difficult at first with so many features, but after a while its rather helpful.

Pros

The interface of DayForce is pretty with the calming colours and solid organization. It displays information easily and intuitively, a useful application or all employees. A lot of capable features from performance to finances.

Cons

Passwords can be a nuisance sometimes if they are forgotten. Having to reach out to the admin to reset every now and then is a hassle especially for part-time users when there is often more of them. I am not too fond of being unable to easily find staffs in the schedule/timesheet as you can't use ctrl + f on the desktop even though they are listed alphabetically.

### "We switche over to Dayforce HCM in Dec of 2016 and have never looked back!"

June 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

Everything is in one platform, self-service, paperless, could based, intuitive, and easy to navigate.

Cons

No huge cons. Everything that was promised was delivered from implementation to current time. I would just advise anyone switching systems to test as much as possible before going live.

5.0

We are learning about the features everyday since we have only been on the system for the past 10 months.

Pros

The software is user friendly; Our employees love the ease of using the app.

Cons

We had to hire an additional employee in the Payroll Department to help with all the data entry.

Reason for choosing Dayforce HCM

We love the diversity of it.

### "DIdn't get what we paid for"

September 3, 2020

3.0

Would not choose this system again, given the choice.

Pros

They system was sold as a robust HCM; we have not seen that yet.

Cons

Customer service and implementation has been extremely challenging. Ceridian's team made multiple mistakes that caused our team to rework multiple aspects of implementation. Left us hanging on multiple issues and caused us to spend much more than anticipated.

### "Dayforce the one stop shop for all your companies needs"

March 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

Dayforce is a very robust system that has met all our companies needs plus more. Employee's and managers love that there is transparency.

Cons

The one thing that I would like to see changed is a date on the hot fix release notes. This would make it much easier to identify a system glitch.

### "Easy Payroll for Employer and Employee"

February 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

It was very convenient to clock in and clock out for my work shifts through the app. The app will require to turn on your phone's location and to click a button that says "Punch In/Out". I enjoyed the built in schedule on the app because it told me my work shifts for the week.

Cons

I was not able to see my pay stubs through the app, so I had to login through their website. It's not a big deal, but it would have been great if I did not have to open a browser on my phone or use my laptop to access my pay stubs.

### "Dayforce Review"

October 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

What I like most about the product is the ability to navigate relatively quick.

Cons

I originally wS not pleased with the reporting function and thought it was not very user friendly. However, after attending the report labs at Insights this year I have a much better understanding. Other than that, nothing worth mentioning.

### "Great WFM Module"

October 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

I manage the WFM module and love that it’s made it easier for us too monitor sick leave compliance, hours and entitlements. There are regular updates that assist with setting up necessary rules to maintain compliance.

Cons

Because we only use 1 module the integrations are hard to manage and require numerous resources
