Dayforce

Global HCM platform unifying payroll, HR, benefits, talent, and workforce management

Visit Dayforce

Dayforce is a human capital management platform that brings HR, payroll, time and attendance, talent, benefits, and workforce management into a single system built on a shared data model. It addresses the complexity of managing disconnected people processes by keeping schedules, time, and pay in one place with shared rules, supporting real-time pay calculations and continuous auditing to surface issues before payroll closes.

The platform includes Dayforce HR, Dayforce Payroll, Dayforce Workforce Management, Dayforce Talent, Dayforce Reporting and Analytics, and Dayforce AI, along with Dayforce Wallet for on-demand pay and Dayforce Flex Work for accessing on-demand talent. It supports payroll in more than 200 countries, configurable rules for global, regional, and union requirements, anomaly detection, AI insights embedded in workflows, and a mobile app for frontline workers covering schedules, time, and pay.

Dayforce is intended for organizations managing complex, multi-region workforce operations, including deskless and frontline employees. The company offers demos and sales contact for evaluation; specific plan tiers, editions, and pricing models are not detailed on these pages.
