Dayforce made payroll processing simpler

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

Day force's ability to perform payroll computations in real time is its strongest feature. After an employee punches out, their time is added to their next pay check.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's great because Dayforce can handle so many different functions, like payroll, time tracking, human resources information system, reporting, and even recruitment. Also, everything is in one place, so there's no need to go to a different system to recalculate when something is changed. Payroll serves my needs quite well, and I appreciate that a lot.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's not always obvious where to look for a particular file in order to make a necessary change to the configuration. Even while reports have improved greatly, it can still be difficult to modify an existing report by adding a new field, especially when dealing with Payroll or Timesheets.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With Dayforce, calculating payroll is much easier for both me and my employees. Data from timesheets and benefits systems is reliably imported into payroll.

Ceridian Dayforce resolves time management issues

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

This application shortens the time it takes to switch from one application to another. I no longer require the use of a physical time clock. The application allows me to request time off directly. We have saved a lot of time by allowing employees to fill out their own profiles instead of manually filling out their profiles. Employee time and attendance, as well as requests for time off. It is preferable to have a system keep track of this rather than an access database.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What I like best about this software is how simple and intuitive it is to use. Dayforce virtual assistant is extremely beneficial, particularly if you are new to the platform. With this platform, employee scheduling, including part-time employees, becomes much more organised. I like the employee progress page and the ability to use questionnaires to help retain employees. It's simple to use and helps me keep track of my time at work. It also allows me to request time off.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't like how it occasionally logs me out of the system after a few minutes. It occasionally goes down for extended periods of time with no explanation. When this occurs, it affects both our stores and our in-office users. It is usually quickly resolved. Customer service support costs can be prohibitively expensive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Dayforce virtual assistant is extremely beneficial, particularly if you are new to the platform. The most significant impact on our company has been the ease of use and automation. This makes it simple to request time off or check your benefits. It's very convenient to have everything in one place.

  • Helps Innovate
