Convenience and ease in annual reporting

PROS

I cannot express enough how easy Powerpay has made it to complete annual reports and complete payroll on time. New employees has no trouble on-boarding and getting setup. After struggling with APD for 2 years we're happy to announce PowerPay has been perfect for our small business.

CONS

Annual reporting for taxes need to be filtered.

Happy long-time user

PROS

I have been using Ceridian software (powerpay) for many years now and I really like the ease of use with it. It is easy to set up new employees and it is easy to get payrolls processed. If I need to make any changes, I have no problems doing that either. The reports are excellent (other than my comments below) and I particular like the year-end reports which are quite easy to read and have the information necessary.

CONS

The new version of Powerpay is a bit more cumbersome in terms of scrolling down to the bottom of the screen to get to the next page. It takes me longer to get through the pages. I also wish that there was better reporting - for instance I can't pull up a list of employees who have been terminated and I cannot pull up their Records of Employment without knowing exactly when they left and then finding the report in the Payroll reports section.

Reason for choosing Dayforce Powerpay

Powerpay reports are much better and easier to read. Powerpay understands the particularities of employment in Quebec.

Stellar Service

Overall the customer service is the saving grace. Most interactions with customer service over the phone has been amazing and detailed. There were one or two experiences (over a year ago) which weren't as nice but I received follow up calls afterwards.

PROS

The Rapid Entry page is quite useful and easy to use.

CONS

I don't like that we have to be in an active pay period/run in order to access general information. Sometimes I just need to check something but I have to open a new pay period/run in order to do so. I'd love to be able to customize the experience more.

Vendor Response

Hi Annie - Thank you for your feedback! We now have the functionality to access employee info without having to be in an active pay period, we'd love to walk you through it! We're so happy to hear that customer support has been able to assist you!

Conversion from INSYNC to Powerpay

The conversion from INSYNC to Powerpay was smooth and the system is easy to use. It is not very code driven compared to INSYNC.

PROS

The powerpay system departs from using codes all the time coming from INSYNC. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use.

CONS

Reporting is not as extensive and cannot be used as a replacement for a proper HRIS. Thus I use Dayforce for most basic reports and powerpay just for Payroll reports.

Reason for choosing Dayforce Powerpay

Price and easy transition since both are Ceridian products.

Reasons for switching to Dayforce Powerpay

The time and attendance piece we use with INSYNC was retiring.

Vendor Response

Hi Rene - Thank you for the detailed feedback around your experience with INSYNC and Powerpay. Your feedback helps to fuel innovation and continue to improve on our product. Thank you for choosing Ceridian.
