About Dayforce

Dayforce is a cloud human capital management (HCM) and payroll platform from the company formerly called Ceridian. It covers HR, payroll, workforce management and talent functions in one product built around a shared employee record.

Its payroll and time capabilities are typically used by employers with complex pay rules, hourly staff or multiple locations, and the HR modules add benefits, talent and analytics. The vendor site could not be read when this entry was written, so confirm the current module list on the Dayforce website.

Dayforce is proprietary software delivered as a cloud service and sold to mid-sized and large employers through a sales process. It is relevant to HR and finance leaders looking to replace separate payroll, scheduling and HR systems with a single platform.
