Dayforce Scheduling · Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States · founded 1992
What it is
Dayforce Scheduling helps organizations plan staffing coverage, manage labor budgets, and give employees ways to manage their schedules. It forecasts labor demand from historical data, recent trends, and seasonal predictions, then can generate schedules using staff preferences, business demand, pay rates, and other factors. Centralized scheduling lets organizations share workers across locations. Employees can set availability and preferences, request time off, and swap or offer shifts; some actions depend on configuration and manager approval. Dashboards include attendance, absenteeism, and unplanned overtime metrics. The product also supports salaried project-based employees by aligning time worked to projects for labor allocation against general ledgers. Its iOS app lets employees view schedules and shift details, message coworkers, and make shift trade decisions. In the app, employees cannot trade shifts between locations, and eligible coworkers depend on scheduling configuration. Dayforce says its regional predictive scheduling rule can help manage fair workweek requirements. Pricing is available by request; there is no free plan. Platforms listed are Android, iOS, web, and API.
