Senior Payroll Manager

Production lags heavily, and causes impacts our payroll processing pace of completing payroll. We have to slow down to a slow pace as the system is very slow most of the time.

Pros

System is very intuitive. amazing product if it is configured correcting and staff is trained fully to use the system

Cons

Tax customer service is the absolute worst. they would take money/ach our account without prior approval on multiple occasions. Which breaks our contractual agreement. DF has processes such as sending and ATD to be signed prior to debiting the account however this wasn't followed multiple times. also PII info was a concern. I received and email from DF saying your email config was updated. They had added email to our account of humans that never have worked here. they crossed wires between client and added emails to our email config from some company we have no affiliation with.

A stand-out HR/Payroll interface

It's a fairly reliable system, but it does go offline more often than other systems in my experience. It helps my organization get things done and is consistently upgraded. One challenge is that reporting features change and we have to keep re-learning.

Pros

It's one of the most sophisticated systems available and very configurable.

Cons

The customer service model is lacking. The account rep assigned doesn't help with issues; they are more of a salesperson. Getting help from their ticketing system/help desk is hit or miss.

Great System for End Users (Employees)

Positive experience overall. We were previously using an HRIS that didn't display all of the information we needed and our employees were never able to view it, so using Dayforce has made our employee's experience with their information positive but also provided them with the autonomy they didn't previously have in our old system.

Pros

It's very user friendly for the end user. I like how everything is housed in one HRIS and I am able to view all of the employee's information in one easy place. The data is visually easy to read and it's conveniently in one place.

Cons

The reporting function. Creating reports from scratch isn't that simple for users who aren't familiar with how to create reports. I feel like this could be enhanced and simplified so that creating reports is easier. I also think the number of clicks it takes to do certain functions could be reduced by using shorthand or typing and having the system auto-populate information.

Dayforce is a highly intelligent system with large reporting capabilities

Pros

The payroll system is intuitive and reports are robust.

Cons

Implementation was incredibly long and the support ticket advisors are usually poorly trained. During implementation we had several different project managers due to turnover. Most of the advisors we have had directly from Ceridian have been so siloed they did not understand how their section of the system effected other systems. This has caused many issues down the line for us. I am still correcting things set up wrong during implementation.

Great HCM for complex companies.

we feel very supported and solid from a platform and compliance perspective. They really have a deep bench of help.

Pros

Integration options, both import, and exports. The platform is very stable and the R&D efforts are second to none.

Cons

Lack of UDF in all areas. We see it in employee properties, but many object would benefit from the ability to add user-defined fields.

Dayforce - a very intuitive sytem.

Transitioning from an in-house system to Dayforce is the best decision we ever made. Although implementation during covid was rough, and going live, we still have many policies not correctly configured. But after 3 years of using dayforce, I was able to modify some entitlement policies, pay policies that were not working properly. I do not have a computer programming background but the dayforce is so intuitive that I was able to do so.

Pros

The dayforce system is very intuitive. The continues calculation is a hot seller for me.

Cons

Initially reporting is the feature I liked least but once I'm getting the hang of it, it's not too bad.

Our overall experience with Dayforce has been great, we have used it for 5+ years and don't plan on leaving anytime soon!

Pros

I like that the system is very intuitive and has many modules that we use and connect. We used Dayforce for payroll, benefits, recruiting, performance, compensation, and so on. The system is very user friendly and easy to use.
We also use Dayforce Wallet which is the on demand pay feature and is a huge sucess with our employees.

Cons

We struggle occasionally with bugs within certain modules, specifically recruiting. When this happens it's very hard to complete tasks.

Dayforce HCM Review

Dayforce HCM is definitely the most powerful payroll system that I have used in a long time. It is my top choice when it comes to Payroll and HCM providers.

Pros

The implementation team was very knowledgeable and they listened to what we had and how we wanted to improve the new system. They were so easy to work with.

Cons

Wishing that some of the fixed reports would be flexible and could add information that would save us time from having to vlookup different reports together.

Having 3 countries live is hard but I wish we could do more for the simple items. For example, ROE in Canada, mainstream it instead of putting it in Payroll only.

Cons

The color, it's all white and it gets a little to bright. We need an option to switch to dark mode.

Great HR solution for time, vacation monitoring and payroll

Pros

Ease of use, everything is neatly labeled, and tailored for the customer. In Poland we have many rules where it comes to vacation, sick leaves and overtime pay etc etc. Clocking in and out is fast and reliable so there is no stress when you enter your work - as it should be. Dayforce also offers nice PoE Android tablets for clock in and clock out with physical RFID tag, very neat solution with simple WebGUI for users and HR

Cons

I've been using it daily for almost 3 years now, and haven't had any major issues :)
