What do you dislike most about this product?

The reporting capabilities.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Ceridian Dayforce excels in various HR functions, but it particularly shines in payroll and time management. The seamless integration of time tracking with payroll ensures accurate and timely processing.

What differentiates Dayforce from other similar products?

One of Dayforce's strongest points is its ability to automatically calculate payroll. Payroll has been greatly simplified and accelerated by this new functionality. In addition, they provide a unified platform for all HR needs, including but not limited to recruitment, personnel records management, benefits administration, and more.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Dayforce helped us fix an issue we were having with the hiring process for supervisors. Our application procedure is now more streamlined, and the involvement of managers has been maintained. I've always admired the intuitive design of hiring tools. It streamlines the application and screening procedures.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UI is very confusing for managers because of the multiple timesheet views. Even after extensive training of staff and management, we continue to run into difficulties.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We're switching to an electronic system from one based on paper. With the help of the document management and library features, we can keep track of all of our employees' information in a safe and organized manner.

Pros

Reliable
Efficient Service
Client Friendly Policies
Transparent
