Pros

“It is a single HRIS platform that connects payroll, HR, and time management in real time, making workforce management more efficient.”

William R.

SR HR Operations Specialist

“I use Dayforce in three capacities: as an employee to find my own employee information, as a leader to manage my employees and as a compensation professional looking up employee data for the sales teams we support.”

Nicki S.

Manager, FPandA - Sales Compensation

“It helps with easier onboarding of new employees, managing health insurance contracts, payroll management, and time-tracking.”

Niyathi R.

Marketing Manager

Pros

“We find the capacity for HR information and data management is limitless. While the core HR details are prescribed, there is ample flexibility in other areas that allow us to trap all of our HR data in one program.”

Holly A.

Controller

“The work schedule is easy to create, the Locations geofencing shows where my staff clock in and out at multiple sites, the time entries are easy to track and approve in the attendance module, and staff can easily request time off in the system as it's very intuitive for them.”

Carrie H.

Executive Assistant

“I use it for payroll for my business and ever since i signed up it has been working wonders for tracking reports and conducting pay runs.”

Carlton B.

Accountant

Cons

“Employees are unable to see the monthly accumulation of their sick/vacation time and seeing past time can be tricky as you have to go through a list”

Kandice S.

Front Line Staff

“I dislike the redundant email notifications to both personal and work emails and far too many notifications regarding the quarterly review process (even when no action is needed).”

Christine B.

Sub-Investigator

“Sometimes when I clock in or clock out for a meal it doesn't register and it's not easy to see current day's time reporting until the day is finished.”

Ann H.

Proposal Content Specialist

Cons

“As well as they are eventually phasing out the timeclock, and currently there is no app developed to use for my team to access their profile to clock their shifts without logging into their FULL personal profile on a public computer.”

Carrie H.

Executive Assistant

“At times, the platform could feel a bit overwhelming with the number of features and options available, making it difficult to know where to start.”

Carlton B.

Accountant

“While the system is designed for use with a physical timeclock, it does not work well with physical timeclock units.”
