Payroll and Workforce Management Made Easy

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

The system is designed to integrate payroll, benefits and scheduling to several other functions. Many other HR tools focus on one thing, but this software brings it all together.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the real world availability of the schedule. It is such a snap to manage shifts, in particular for off hour campaigns, without balancing workbooks.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Even though system updates are necessary, they sometimes cause brief service interruptions and need internal process adjustments.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Dayforce keeps everything in one place and simplifies reporting: benefits management, payroll processing and employee performance tracking.
