Optimizing human capital management with Dayforce

My experience with Dayforce HCM has been positive. It has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our HR procedures by cutting down on manual work. The centralized design of the platform improves HR's ability to work with staff.

Pros

Dayforce HCM is an all-inclusive system that does an excellent job of integrating different HR processes. Payroll, time and attendance, benefits administration, and labor management are all efficiently managed by the centralized system.

Cons

The system is powerful, but it takes some time to get it up and running for the first time. The implementation time might be cut in half with better onboarding materials.

Dayforce - Almost Perfect Platform for HR & Payroll

I've been using Dayforce as a Payroll administrator for the last 5 years. My experience has been very good. One of the best platforms I've used for Payroll.

Pros

The fact that HR and Payroll are linked together in one seamless application. The web interface and mobile app are very well-designed and useful.

Cons

Dayforce has an enormous amount of data that can be accessed—so much in fact that finding the right report to include all the data you want can be overwhelming. Not all the data is transferable between reports. For example, Timesheet data is not always able to be included with Payroll data.

It has been a positive user experience and easy to use. I have also enjoyed the app’s layout and variety. Due to this I prefer it to its competitors

Pros

I use Dayforce for work and is my new favourite amongst the rostering platforms. Training tasks can be completed from Dayforce and it allows for details about training and upcoming shift information. The homepage layout provides a suitable amount of personalised content regarding upcoming work preventing endless searching. The platform is also easily accessible from the web and the app.

Cons

Be weary of any potential extra costs to gain access to extra features

I like the system a lot, but it is so extensive that it's impossible for any super user to really understand all of the granular functionality/configuration.

Pros

Flexibility and constant innovation. The software is intuitive but does need IT/Financial Analyst support to really have it set up well.

Cons

Some things that should be included in the software (basic reports) require that you pay for customization. Not a big fan of the transition from implementation to support. The hand off is very abrupt.

Pros

The full integration. It is amazing to have all components in a single system. The customization opportunities are a blessing and a curse. It is amazing to truly take the system and make it what you need it to be, but on the flip side, it can be cumbersome to have unlimited options.

Cons

Dayforce isn't for everyone. It is a complex system that requires a sys admin that is well versed to manage the day to day operation. If you do not have this and rely on Dayforce for assistance, you will be waiting for a while.

Overall, I believe Dayforce works well for our business. It has been key in propelling us forward and empowering our managers to have accountability and oversight of key information.

Pros

The self service and ease of use. That integration with other platforms is possible, however a lot of HRIS needs as catered to through Dayforce itself.

Cons

There are a lot of nuances to each individual business and sometimes this cant be catered to. If it is possible, then it usually comes with additional cost to the business.
