Dayforce Powerpay

Robust Online HR Tool

Kommentare: Payroll and human resource management.

Vorteile:

Powerpay automate payroll, HR and benefits for employees.It track time and attendance to ensure employees are paid for what they’ve worked for.

Nachteile:

This HCM program has a lot of features, even I haven’t explored all.

Easy to use

Kommentare: when I came on board with this company, no one can really teach me how to use the system. I was able to figure it out in some areas, and some I had to call in and get the direction. But all those experiences are effortless. That's how I came to love Powerpay

Vorteile:

It is very easy to use. Training that I got from Powerpay was seamless, the associates are very knowledgeable

Nachteile:

It is not easy to pull reports. If you find a report there's no filter. You have to extract the whole thing and filter it yourself that way

Stellar Service

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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.

Dayforce Powerpay usage

Kommentare: I consider it positive due to the ease of using the app. And it also provides a good amount of security when logging in.

Vorteile:

Paperless and easy access of end year reports and payslips. And reminder when a new payslip is available.

Nachteile:

Nothing really, the app is easy to learn and very user friendly.

Conversion from INSYNC to Powerpay

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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.

Take the easy out of Payroll

Kommentare: Confident that our taxes are being calculated probably and submitted on time to CRA. Employees pay stubs are clear to read and deductions are handled probably

Vorteile:

Easy integration from start to finish for a new company. I also had the experience of changing products and the integration and transition was easy. Clean templates. Easy to find what you are looking for. Easy to use the applications and great resources to use withi the application

Nachteile:

Would like the ability to look at employees without having to open a pay period

Overall positive experiences

Kommentare: Overall positive and very user friendly

Vorteile:

The customer support is top notch, and it is cost effective

Nachteile:

Could have more useable report. Things as simple as staff lists, employee birthday report for celebrating specials events, Years of service for celebrations, ect.

I'm a big fan of Powerpay

Kommentare: Powerpay is ideal for managing all the HR/payroll needs. I don't have to worry about reconciling payroll accounts and T4 summaries at the end of the year, or racking my brain to complete ROEs. It is all taken care of for me. It's a load off my mind and a huge time-saver for me.

Vorteile:

I love how easy it is to use and, if I have a problem, the support staff are terrific. It is very well priced as well. It is a manageable option for small businesses.

Nachteile:

I would like to see little helpful tips come up when you hover over a heading or title. It would be nice to have small instructions or explanations in areas that will save me having to call in with a small/minor question.

Happy long-time user

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

EASY TO USE SOFTWARE WITH ROBUST CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Kommentare: We have had a positive experience with Powerpay. The system and the customer support has and continues to exceed our expectations. Anyone who is new to payroll should not hesitate to use Powerpay. The software can be learned quickly. The software's ease of use coupled with the robust customer support will make for a successful outcome.

Vorteile:

The software is intuitive and easy to use.

Nachteile:

I have not found any drawbacks to the software.

Advocate for Ceridian Powerpay

Kommentare: Powerpay is an excellent tool. Having the ability to work with payroll in this format has enabled me to delegate certain levels of data entry to lower level managers with allowing access to confidential information. This improved efficiencies. Having the ability to access our whole payroll system remotely has been a great asset. Customer service is always quick to respond and you always get to speak to a person that is friendly, professional and will find the answer for you.
The software is very easy to use and straight forward. I appreciate that we have been able to do some customization. There are many resources available as well for small businesses that may not otherwise have access.

Vorteile:

I have worked with Ceridian in a previous position with a national company that used the Workforce management component as well. When I needed to source a payroll company for the organization I now work for Ceridian Powerpay was an easy choice. The transition from the existing pay system to Powerpay was seamless for our employees. The implementation of the program was an easy process with the assistance of the support team. It is very user friendly and provides us with all elements we need through the ability to customize. I like that it is easy to access from anywhere, including a mobile device.

Nachteile:

This is an excellent product. The only comment I have for a con is that some of the reporting is not as user friendly in the way this it is laid out. I have not encountered any issues of concern.

Review of Ceridian Power pay

Kommentare: wonderful experience productivity improvement

Vorteile:

ease of use and the customer support. every time we call customer support always very helpful.

Nachteile:

each add on is additional cost - for some of the other modules.

Powerpay Review

Vorteile:

Powerpay is very easy to use as a payroll system. The information is inputted and the system does the rest! The reports are generated automatically and are available at any time. If ever there was support needed, questions were answered quickly and efficiently and problems were solved! Another benefit that is appreciated is the email reminders we receive a day before payroll is due for submission. If there happens to be a holiday interfering with regular schedules, we are made aware well in advance and therefore do not miss any critical deadlines. We have been using this company for our business since opening in 2010 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solution for their payroll needs!

Nachteile:

The software often provides updates regarding taxation changes or government incentives that may be useful to your organization. The updates received include reports for every province rather than just ones that pertain to our region. It can be time consuming sifting through the updates to find the ones that pertain to your company specifically.

PowerPay makes payroll easy!

Kommentare: Amazing transition (very easy) from InSync Blue, an amazingly intuitive and easy to use product. And it is supported with the excellent customer service that I have grown to know and love from Ceridian.

Vorteile:

PowerPay is an extremely intuitive and easy to use platform for those of whom payroll is not a full-time job. It takes care of most (if not all) of the legislative updates and guides you through on-boarding and off-boarding staff. Linked to Ceridian's DayForce, timesheets are automatically loaded and I rarely spend more than 30 minutes every second week doing payroll.

Nachteile:

I can't name anything that I dislike about the software. Oh, it doesn't calculate anniversary dates - I can report on when folks were hired, but it doesn't say how many years they have been on board. I get that from DayForce, though.

PowerPay

Kommentare: Easy roll out and excellent customer service.

Vorteile:

Roll out of the software is straight forward. The setup team gave me the tools to enter and roll out the payroll seamlessly. No issues.

Nachteile:

No issues or complaints. No suggestions.

Ceridian Powerpay is Excellent for Small Business

Kommentare: Payroll now takes less time and is much easier to do. Staff like that they can go online and pick up their own paystubs. I know that if I have any questions, Ceridian staff will help me and will give me pointers as to what to do should I experience the same issue another time. They are very service-oriented and in today's world, good service is a rare commodity. Ceridian also offers a number of webinars that have been extremely beneficial.

Vorteile:

We switched from another payroll company a year ago and have been extremely happy with Powerpay. I have control over inputting the payroll information and there are several built-in checks to make sure that no mistakes have been made. When in doubt, I know that I can call Ceridian to find out what to do. Everyone I have spoken with has been very knowledgeable and helpful. The payroll reports are clear and easy to read and use. From beginning to end, Ceridian's Powerpay takes the stress out of payroll.

Nachteile:

The onboarding process did have a few, very minor issues but we were able to resolve those very quickly and easily.

Excellent product available in the market with an amazing customer service

Kommentare: It's easy to use software. Most of all, using this software comes with excellent customer services - always available to talk to someone with very little wait-time. Customer service agents are well educated and informed of current changes with payroll.

Vorteile:

This software is user friendly and well mapped out hence easy to navigate the site. Any updates including the Government updates are available hence I can always make sure that I am dealing with the most up-to-date information. This software comes with an excellent customer service, available on the phone during the office hours. I have not yet had a 'hung' calls nor getting an agent who could not guide me.

Nachteile:

There are very little to none negative opinions on this software. I have not had any negative experiences with this software as of now.

Ceridian Powerpay

Kommentare: I am very satisfied with Powerpay. Good value for the cost of the program and easy to use.

Vorteile:

Performing weekly and bi-weekly payrolls with Ceridian Powerpay are very easy and efficient to process. Convenient features of the program include the ability to set up multiple bank accounts for each employee to be able to split their pay into different accounts, the self service features for staff to view and print their paystubs online through their own personal login and to easily set up permanent and temporary deductions like group benefits deductions or one time additional federal tax deductions.

Nachteile:

I would like to see the ability to separately search and print an employees paystub - current period or prior period without having to print all employees.

Great Platform

Kommentare: I never imagine getting more than one payroll per period, which solves few issues in my company.

Vorteile:

Is really easy to use and make payrolls. With clicking just some buttons the process goes well.

Nachteile:

The poor integration with other platforms.

Takes the Guesswork out of payroll

Kommentare: The time it takes to calculate the deductions and write each person's cheques is solved with this software. Since this task is done by volunteers who may or may not have any accounting/payroll skills, this software makes all those decisions for us. I don't have to keep Excel spreadsheets to keep track of our running costs.

Vorteile:

I like that I don't have to keep up to date on the latest tables. Ceridian is always up to date on that. I like that I don't have to remit the deductions. Ceridian does that. Once the employee is set up, it is very easy to pay them or to edit if need be. I really like the direct deposit feature rather than cheques because our staff are seasonal students who seem to lose cheques more frequently.

Nachteile:

There really isn't anything I can say negative. We don't use many of the features available such as employee portals or human resources management because of the nature of our staffing dynamics. I don't like that I can't run two different payrolls - one monthly for our salary, and one weekly for our counsellor staff - using only 1 payroll fee. I would have to pay the basic fee for each.

Great payroll software

Kommentare: Excellent right from the initial conversation on switching software, the transition team were amazing to deal with and setup was seamless.

Vorteile:

easy to use, quick transition from insync to powerpay, all data is available on one screen

Nachteile:

couple of specific features we had in insync not available but this does not impact the software

My review on PowerPay

Kommentare: I find that anytime I have question or require assistance, I am able to call and talk to a customer service advisor in a timely manner. All customer service advisors that I have spoken to have all been very helpful and knowledgable and provided excellent guidance and advise.

Vorteile:

I like the fact that employees can obtain their paystubs and T4's online. I find that once an individual has used it often enough it is user friendly.

Nachteile:

I don't like the fact that I do not have access to the employees' paystubs unless I go into the system as the user. It would be nice to be able to pull an employee's paystub to review if the need arises. I also think it would be good to be able to make changes to the employee's profile (ie address change) without having to open a payrun to do so.

Ceridian = Amazing

Kommentare: All in all, Powerpay is convenient and easy to use. I would recommend it to any small business looking for a simpler way to process payroll.

Vorteile:

Ceridian software gives me the convenience and ability to enter payroll exactly when I need to. Excellent for payroll management since timely and accurately paid employees will generate good employee morale. I especially enjoy that this product is easy to use.

Nachteile:

There is nothing I don't like about the software.

Very useful payroll software

Vorteile:

We've been using powerpay for our company for several years and we're very happy with it. Just recently deployed the self service portal to our employees and it was very easy.

Nachteile:

It would be helpful to just be able to import hours from our timekeeping system via excel or CSV instead of having to re-enter it.

Payroll Service

Kommentare: I find the information updates on the home page are good. I have found that, when I need assistance with anything, the support by telephone is excellent. I have always had good experiences on the phone. I found that I needed that kind of support at the beginning when I was just getting used to the job.

Vorteile:

I like the features of being able to do rapid entry or detailed entry depending on what I need to enter for payroll. I like that the reports are easily accessible within a day of entering the payroll.

Nachteile:

I find that sometimes the changes and upgrades take a little time to adjust to. They are not always intuitive.
