“Great Product always Growing”

Overall rating4.0

I've been using Dayforce since 2013. It started out with just the Time & Attendance module with entitlements and we have added Payroll and Benefits and we keep adding more and more. The support is great! They are always there to help out. So far my biggest wish is a more user friendly report builder. Once you know what you're doing you can get it figured out for the most part, but there's still a lot that could be more user friendly in it without needing to study it. Overall though, it's a great payroll and HR product with excellent support!

“Ceridian: A Journey started and one considered well taken with more to come!”

Overall rating5.0

We started our journey with Ceridian in January 2017 and we have not been disappointed. The real time aspects of this platform is amazing to say the least. Onboarding is so much easier and efficient now and we are looking forward to introducing the Benefits module next year. Our rollout of the Dayforce Wallet, potentially making every day a pay day for our employees, has been the biggest and most exciting feature as it is for everyone It has been widely accepted by our staff and it continues to grow daily. HR daily functions are more efficient and our Payroll processing is as well. We are happy with our change in 2017 and look forward to many more years spent with Ceridian in the future.

Dayforce is a good system. The support group is very helpful. The implementation was a nightmare.
