With Dayforce, we can finally get payroll right

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

My favorite feature of dayforce is that it is accessible by all employees and management. Time off requests (vacation, sick, etc.) As HR, we utilize Dayforce to keep tabs on things like employee attendance, benefits, compensation adjustments, and more. I really like how everything is in one spot and how many options there are to expand the functionality.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Our payroll is now much more precise thanks to Dayforce WFM. Off-cycle manual checks are now largely unnecessary. The number of off-cycle paychecks issued to address payroll problems has decreased by 75%, and the number of cheques that required manual entry has decreased by 67%. There will be much more trust and cooperation between HR, Payroll, and workers if this is the case.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The twice-yearly upgrades can cause problems due to the fact that each customer has a different configuration. Dayforce tries to assist customers in minimizing disruptions by allowing them to try out the upgrade in a staging area in advance of the production rollout.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We can see all of our staff members in one place thanks to Dayforce, where we can also conveniently access their individual data, pay, and job descriptions, as well as run reports.
