We use Ceridian Dayforce for timekeeping and payroll within several of our business groups. Rolling this out as our new timekeeping solutions across the organization.

With everyone on the same system, this eliminates issues and streamlines our process.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Dayforce in my day to day to complete payroll for 6 different entities in different countries. I also use Dayforce as an HRIS system to onboard employees and ensure all information is entered to help with tracking and reporting when needed. The system has allowed me to be successful in my role as I have access to information, and I am able to complete tasks with the autonomy that Dayforce provides. The ticketing system and customer service support for Canada and the US entities is amazing! There is always a team ready to help and I find this super helpful when completing tasks under a deadline.

Pros

Payroll
HRIS Information Systems
Information Webinars
Emails with Updates and Key Dates and Deadlines

Cons

The customer support and ticketing system for UK and Ireland payroll

Return on Investment

Reduced reliance on paper
