Our experience with Day force has been great from Implementation on. We never felt alone.
Before Dayfore, we were using three different systems. One for payroll, one for time and attendance, and another for HR. We had to import data from one system to another so there was the potential of data dropping off. We were able to combine three systems into one with Dayforce. Since Ceridian uses one solution, once an employee is hired they are visible in all parts of the system immediately. No more waiting for overnight updates. Ceridian cut my payroll processing time by 40%, which allows me more time to audit my work. There are some great audit reports built into the system, which I run every payroll. They point to problems with can be corrected before we finalize for the week. The ability to run wage and tax registers, and W2's anytime of the year, allows me to fix any potential problems, which in turn make year end a breeze. My employees now are able to manage some of their own data, which alleviates the burden off HR and Payroll and allows the employee to update their records when it is convenient for them.
Pros
I love that it is one solution. No more imports, no more worries about data dropping off. The test portal allows us to set up new deductions and earnings, and test them before putting them into production. The future dating feature works really well. It allows us to enter increase early and test them in a future payroll to see how the employees pay check will look, and gives us more time to audit our changes thus relieving some of the stress that comes with year end. The education portal is a big plus. It allows us to learn at our own pace, and to schedule that classes that are helpful for each administrative role.

Decent HR Software Program That Gets the Job Done
Dayforce HCM is our main source for anything employee-related and it has been a consistent and useful resource for us. It has the information we need and when we need it, and we can trust and depend on them to provide the functionalities we require. Although not as UI/UX friendly as other software platforms such as Workday, it is a relatively cheap platform that allows employees to do what they need to do.
Pros
Dayforce HCM is a good HR software program in that it is a cloud-based platform for workforce management and other essential things such as payroll, benefits, and document management. It essentially gets the job done for the common employee and offers enough functionality to be a useful platform.
Cons
The overall aesthetic feel and functionality wasn't as smooth and intuitive as the previous HR software our company used, which was Workday. It's not a dealbreaker but it goes a long way to empower the user to feel like they understand and to a large degree have a comfortable control of the app in the first few experiences.

Mainly cost savings. The cost to benefit ratio of saving money to have a less aesthetic and intuitive HR software favored keeping the existing software which everyone was accustomed to already.Response from Ceridian

One solution for HR, payroll and scheduling needs
My overall experience has been wonderful. I and the company have been able to achieve many tasks conveniently with the software and it has increased our growth.
Pros
The most beneficial feature is that it solves many problems together which has helped my company from importing data or worrying about data dropping off when using different softwares.
Cons
The implementation process was difficult for us to navigate at some point. That's something they can work on in order to make the software easy to use even for beginners.

Dayforce - Implementation Beware
Bumpy at best. Some days I actually say I miss ADP.
Pros
I like the 'one' database aspect the best.
Cons
Implementation was very lacking. Nearly a disaster. I am over 2 years in and still have not been able to get everything we originally intended to do up and running.
Reasons for Choosing Dayforce HCM
ADP was unable to accommodate some things we needed and they were not flexible to find other ways to help us.Switched From
ADP Workforce NowReasons for Switching to Dayforce HCM
Recruiting module was most robust (the one module we do NOT have running and will probably abandon at this point). We also liked the GL feature - which does work well and was implemented by the one rockstar of our implementation team.

Payroll and scheduling needs all under one roof
Dayforce has really trained me into using numbers to schedule employees so that I am accurately staffing and not wasting money overpayment
Pros
I liked this software because of how accurate it keeps the time of each employee and how I can incorporate these numbers into my scheduling so that I am not understaffed or over budget.
Cons
I really believe there are quite a few feature on this software that are completely redundant and repetitive.
