The WFM to payroll communication is very good.

Tax Services are horrible. The whole customer support system needs another over haul. It keeps getting worst each time they update the process.

Do your homework and don't let them oversell you on things that are "in the works" it could be years until those features are available.

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

We have audit reports that we use in Ceridian Dayforce that are already built into the system, which I run on every payroll. They point out problems that can be corrected before the end of the week. And I still manage to have payroll efficiency because of its ability to run payroll and tax records at any time.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ceridian reduced my payroll processing time by 40%, allowing me more time to audit my work. Because it is a user-friendly system with constant system updates and an excellent interface, the workflows reduce the number of face-to-face interactions and allow employees easy access to the information in this software.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It should have an automatic update mode every time an update is available and not be manual. Also for security protection they require several verification methods, but it is annoying to have to constantly enter a security code that is sent to you by text message.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For us it is much more feasible to use Ceridian Dayforce software that quickly accommodates more data entered into the system and perform multiple functions. It is ideal for a company in its initial growth phase, Dayforce suits the needs of consolidating its complicated organizational structures and unique salary schemes that may have difficulties.
