What Is MyDayforce and Why It Matters

MyDayforce is Ceridian’s unified Human Capital Management (HCM) portal that brings together payroll, scheduling, time & attendance, benefits, and talent management in a single cloud-based experience. Designed for both desk-based and frontline workers, MyDayforce delivers:

  • Instant Self-Service: Employees can view pay stubs, request time off, swap shifts, and enroll in benefits—all from their smartphone or browser.
  • Real-Time Updates: Data syncs instantly across modules: a shift swap triggers pay adjustments and staffing analytics without manual intervention.
  • Compliance Confidence: Built-in wage-and-hour rules, break enforcement, and audit logs help you meet complex labor regulations effortlessly.

By consolidating core HR workflows, MyDayforce reduces administrative overhead, improves data accuracy, and gives your people the autonomy they crave.


Key Features of MyDayforce

1. Unified Time & Attendance

  • Mobile Clock-In/Out: Geofenced or PIN-protected clock-ins ensure accurate punch records.
  • Schedule Enforcement: Managers draft schedules that automatically flag overtime, meal breaks, and certification requirements.
  • Exception Management: Exceptions (late arrivals, missed punches) surface in a centralized dashboard for quick resolution.

2. Dynamic Scheduling & Shift Management

  • Drag-and-Drop Scheduler: Build, copy, and publish schedules in minutes—viewing employee availability, holidays, and demand forecasts side by side.
  • Self-Service Shift Swaps: Employees browse open shifts, request swaps, and receive push notifications upon approval.
  • Forecast-Driven Templates: Leverage historical sales and labor-cost data to automatically recommend staffing levels by daypart.

3. Seamless Payroll Integration

  • One-Click Runs: Approved timecards flow directly into payroll calculations—eliminating dual-entry and ensuring pay accuracy.
  • Advanced Calculations: Support for multi-state tax settings, shift differentials, and custom earnings codes.
  • Instant Corrections: Managers can edit time entries or retroactively adjust pay elements, with changes reflected in real time.

4. Comprehensive Benefits & Open Enrollment

  • Guided Enrollment: Employees compare plan options side by side, view real-time costs, and submit life-event changes online.
  • Carrier Feeds: Election data automatically transmits to carriers via secure EDI or API connections.
  • Eligibility Rules Engine: Configurable criteria ensure only qualified employees see relevant benefits, reducing errors.

5. Talent Management & Development

  • Goal Setting & Performance: Align individual objectives to corporate OKRs, track progress, and provide continuous feedback.
  • Learning Pathways: Assign role-based training modules, track completions, and automate certification renewals.
  • Succession Planning: Visualize org charts, identify successors, and model “what-if” scenarios to safeguard key roles.
