I think the time and attendance payroll and benefits administration have been very solid and have improved our efficiency quite a bit. On the employee side, the adoption of mobile has been very high so they can easily see their pay, their requests for time off, and those types of things. They can do that through the website or through their mobile, and we have around one-third of our employees using the mobile app.

I like the fact that the tool provides a comparison tool between the benefits that it offers, allowing users to elect or choose the benefits they want to use.

The continuous calculations are great.

It offers great functionality. 

Employees can take any percentage of their pay that they've earned on the WFM side. There is a good pay-on-demand option.

The initial setup is easy.

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.

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

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

There are so many valuable features it is hard to single out a few. However, the electronic timekeeping has had one of the biggest impacts as so many were positively impacted by this implementation compared to how this task was handled prior to Dayforce.

Employees like being able to see what entitlements/balances that they have for their time away. They also like seeing their daily earnings. If they have any question about their time sheet and/or pay prior to a pay run, they can ask as they see what is being turned in.

From an employer perspective, I like the employees seeing their "Total Compensation" year-to-date. Prior to Dayforce, our employees had no clue how much their total compensation was.   

The features that we find most valuable are we can look at earnings on a live time basis and see if an employee has enough earnings to qualify for longer vacations with pay.

Configuring your HR policies and rules is straightforward. 

As the HR Benefits Director, the benefits module is my favorite. The ACA Tracking, FMLA, and COBRA management are on point. With our previous software management program, we were required to manage our processes manually exposing the company to possible costly penalties. Now, our employee benefits enrollment is managed through Ceridian Dayforce, which makes for a limited manual process.

We used the solution to do a lot of performance management during the review cycle and it helped us alleviate the administrative burden.

• Reporting
• I can pull anything out of Dayforce.
• It has made my job so much easier. This is its best feature.

The fact that the time and attendance system is built into the HRIS is very valuable because, in the past, we had to use two different systems. 

The integrated time clock has provided efficiencies in payroll, as we no longer have to decipher handwritten time sheets and input them into the system.  Statutory holiday pay is also calculated automatically.
