### "Ceridian makes Payroll Processing Easier."

March 17, 2016

4.5

Pros

I love the fact that I can go into a future pay date and see if future increases or changes have worked. This takes away the stress of having to wait until the day I am processing payroll. I also really like the test portal. In the test environment I can see the results of new earnings or deductions before putting them into production.

Cons

Report Writing - I find it difficult sometimes to find the topic I am looking for in the report writing tool, so it takes me several attempts to collect the data I am trying to report on.

5.0

Pros

Who doesn't like having control and being able to see all your relevant information in an easy to use dashboard?! I love Dayforce.

Cons

Even less computer savy folks are able to find and print T4's in this system. I have nothing negative to share here.

### "Dayforce HCM provides integration of all HR/Payroll/Benefits processes"

June 6, 2017

4.0

Dayforce helps our lean department run smoother.

Pros

Dayforce HCM is cloud based, processes data quickly, provides real time vacation balances, and is very informative of compliance updates/changes.

Cons

Dayforce HCM reporting is powerful, but this is something that could always be improved due to the ever changing business world of analytics.

### "Money pit"

September 29, 2018

1.0

Pros

Nothing. There is nothing this program does that another program cant do better. Manager functions on the app are nonexistent. All managerial work must be done on a computer. Even on a computer, they're impossible!

Cons

It is counterintuitive. Generally, a pain in the butt. DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU OWN A RESTAURANT! It wont help you with anything. Any money you save in labor, will inevitably be spent on figuring out how to use it. Even then, then, you will be disappointed.

### "Great all-in-one system! "

July 1, 2017

4.0

Pros

Dayforce releases several upgrades a year with great new features. Our employees love thatvthey can access the earning statements, W2s and 1095c anytime with the app.

Cons

Not all of the reports we use were available "out of the box". But in most cases the support team was able to create the reports during inplementation.

### "Dayforce Review"

November 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy to use, the plat form is very simple.

Cons

It was confusing at where I could submit a time off request, which was under "Time away list". Time away list to me sounded like just a list of already completed time off request so I was looking under "Forms" thinking that's where I could find a "time off request form".

### "Implementation went as smooth as possible"

June 13, 2017

4.0

Pros

Everything is all in one place. We love processing payroll with the time sheets right there. And having the employee record handy works well too.

Cons

The constant updates. Updates are happening often and sometimes it will update one thing but break another. We have to be on the lookout for items on a regular basis.

### "Dayforce is a cut above the pack"

July 28, 2017

5.0

Generally speaking, the Dayforce product features a pleasant professional looking user interface the is quite intuitive. The single user interface and single client record allows for less time in the system, and more importantly, the ability to run nearly endless metrics for strategic planning. The system is quite robust and offers a full set of features where most competitors lack a full feature set. When you sign up as a new customer, the customer support, training, and networking with other Dayforce customers is fantastic. Overall, the products sets the bar for industry standard.

Pros

Dayforce provides a single user interface and a single client record. Many products have multiple records that impact the flow of data point. The Dayforce single record supports advanced metrics for strategic planning.

Cons

There learning of the product is extensive. This is initially a con, however, the learning and networking opportunities are vast.

### "I like it"

June 11, 2021

5.0

I am an As-Needed monitor, so, this website helps me keep track of working locations, hours, meetings, pay, and makes sure all of my trainings are up to date. It's a great tool to keep everything organized in such a big company that deals with so many contracts.

Pros

I like that it keeps track of all of my paystubs, now I don't have to worry about keeping a cluttered box of them in my house. It also keeps track of messages, forms, creates a working calendar; it just organizes everything for me and I think it's great.

Cons

I haven't found anything that I dislike about this software yet, it has been pretty straightforward to use and I haven't thought of any useful additions.

### "Dayforce is a convenient, single-source software solution."

July 17, 2017

4.0

Overall, very pleased with the solution, and looking forward to using newer modules (Onboarding, Compensation \[yet to come\]).

Pros

Easy to use solution from a human resources perspective, and empowers employees to make their own changes.

Cons

It can be challenging to find where some data or functions are setup, causing engagement of support.
