Dayforce HCM Reviews

We have used Dayforce HCM for our HR functionalities and for the learning module over the last five years. We actually just migrated to a new learning management system.

Dayforce HCM did help support our learning culture development, as it introduced our workforce to a learning management system for the first time. However, after a while, people started getting frustrated with its limitations.

Our use case is for the core human capital management stack such as personnel administration, payroll, time and attendance, benefits administration, employee self-service, reporting, and analytics. We're a local government organization and customers of Ceridian. I'm the director of enterprise financial systems.

Dayforce has given us near to real-time access to time sheets and clockings since it has an integrated time and attendance module. Within six minutes of someone clocking in, we can see them on the timesheets. Dayforce has enabled us to smooth out our payroll system so not everything is happening at the end of the payroll cycle. We can see the impacts during the week and make it a lot more manageable. It's also been helpful for benefits administration with employees being able to file life and work events online. They can access their pay stubs, request leave, change their address, update their direct deposit details, and other things. We've become much more efficient, and much less paper driven.

I use the solution in my company for most of the work except for performance reviews and talent acquisition. My company uses the tool for its benefits, like HCM, payroll management, and time off requests.

The tool is more about improving the whole process in our company. In our company, the tool keeps us alert on many things before we work on the payroll, making the whole process of conducting audits easier for us. It allows us to spend much less time to do our audits compared to other systems, which take more time. Ceridian Dayforce HCM is my favorite tool.

The solution's payroll portion is very streamlined. Ceridian Dayforce HCM has much better payroll processes than ADP Workforce Now.

The solution's dashboards and geofencing could be improved.

Typically, a lot of systems have a special reason code for every field. In Ceridian Dayforce HCM, the reason code is the same section that updates different fields. If you have a new hire and they get a promotion, you will return to the same list and enter those in, which is very confusing.

I wasn't part of the company when the solution was purchased. I was brought into the company later on to implement it. The solution was procured just before the pandemic. It proved quite useful during that time for onboarding and recruiting purposes, after which the company got involved in a lot of hiring. We managed the onboarding and recruiting process quite well because of the onboarding module in the solution. Though with the solution, even if it is all in one place now, sometimes it may seem a little complicated. But if one takes their time and goes through all the courses related to the solution, it can be a great piece of software.

I like that the solution offers all the necessary tools in one place, especially the forms available within the solution. In the past, when paper forms were utilized, there was always a risk of losing them. Having been in the human resources field for around 25-30 years, I have come a long way in the industry. Previously, we had to rely on a paper trail which was quite cumbersome. As an administrator, it took away my whole job. So, I had to learn to adapt quickly to great software like Ceridian Dayforce HCM. Also, I like how everything was linked together in the solution. All the information is available from the moment you apply, and it flows seamlessly throughout the software, including your profile, learning, and all other aspects of talent management. The suite of programs available is comprehensive, which is an improvement from the past, where one would have to use separate software for different functions like onboarding and talent management.

In our organization, we use the solution for the processes concerning payroll, recruitment, timekeeping reports, and managing our global payroll.

Feature-wise, it is a valuable solution having everything, especially its ability to do the payroll processing for Canada and US.

We use the solution for Core HR, Onboarding, WFM, Performance Management, and Payroll. It has a variety of modules. 

We were able to streamline our processes, enhance our reconciliation tasks, and implement same day ACH onto pay cards. 

We are a consulting company with multiple clients and several thousand employees. Dayforce is a central place to store all HR-related things. It covers HR data, payroll, and various HR modules. 

The biggest benefit is the integration of payroll data. It helps us effectively manage overtime and payroll, saving us so much money.
