    Since we just implemented Dayforce HCM a little over a year ago, we are just beginning to see the benefits. Having Benefits and Payroll in a single application has been a great time saver after Open Enrollment and after a new hire. The coordination between WFM and Payroll has …

    Using a system that has all of the employee data combined into one system has made reporting very simple. We are able to pull fields together to gather the data we need in a matter of minutes.

    We do not use Dayforce HCM for payroll, HR or benefits. This makes for constant testing of the different systems to ensure they are in sync, it also requires much manual intervention to make any corrections. One of the big issues is when making a correction in the past, …

    The biggest item was the ability to manage and build reports for us that overshadowed what we could do in Ceridian Dayforce. We had to pay for Ceridian Dayforce to build special reports for us.

    Timesheets are infinitely more accurate in WFR. The first basic requirement of a timesheet should be to reflect completely what is paid on a given paycheck period. The timesheet has to be simple enough for all employees to be able to view and see how the pay from the time …

    We evaluated Ceridian HCM Dayforce prior to implementing Kronos. In fact we were a Ceridian customer.
    The cost of the implementation was almost five times the cost for Kronos. We believed at the time of evaluation and it has proven true that Kronos is more innovative and keeps …
