Connecting Dayforce to Your Existing Systems
The Dayforce API enables bidirectional data flow between Dayforce and your ERP, HRIS, benefits carriers, time-tracking systems, and data warehouses. We build the integrations that make it work.
Whether you're syncing employee data from an existing HRIS before go-live, pushing payroll results to your ERP, sending deductions to benefits carriers, or pulling time-tracking data from a legacy system — the Dayforce API handles it. We work with all major integration patterns: SFTP managed file transfer, REST API connectors, scheduled batch jobs, and real-time event-driven hooks.
ADP Workforce Now migrations
Employee and payroll data migration via API and SFTP
Paychex data sync
Bi-directional deduction and earnings feed setup
UKG/Kronos migration support
Time and attendance data bridging during cutover
Typical integration frequency: daily batch or real-time. Go-live timelines range from 2–6 weeks depending on complexity. We monitor error rates post-deployment and tune data flows until they're clean.
Realistic timeline for mid-market (200–5,000 employees)
Most mid-market Dayforce implementations run 4–9 months. Complexity — integrations, data volume, benefits carriers — extends that range. Here's the typical sequence:
Discovery & Requirements
Scope the project, document requirements, audit current state, align on priorities. Expect 8–15 stakeholder interviews. Deliverable: project charter and phased work plan.
Configuration & Data Migration
Core configuration, historical data migration, integration build. Data migration is where most projects slip — fix it here, not at go-live. Deliverable: configured system ready for UAT.
Testing, UAT & Training
End-to-end testing, parallel payroll runs, HR/payroll user training, benefits enrollment validation. Parallel run is non-negotiable — run at least one full payroll cycle against the old system.
Go-Live & Hypercare
Cutover execution, first live payroll support, real-time issue resolution. Hypercare staffing is critical — you need fast response times during the first 2–4 weeks.
Post-Go-Live Optimization
Configuration refinement, release regression testing, benefits carrier validations, additional module rollout. Stabilize before adding scope.
Common timeline extenders: Benefits carrier setup delays, ERP integration complexity, multi-state tax configuration, union/Mexico compliance requirements, and incomplete data migration prep. Build 2–4 weeks of buffer into your plan.
Legacy system migration expertise.
ADP → Dayforce
The most common mid-market migration. ADP Workforce Now and ADP Run both have migration paths, but the data never comes over cleanly on its own.
- Employee data audit: what's portable, what needs re-entry
- Payroll history migration (YTD balances, deductions, garnishments)
- Benefits deduction mapping and carrier re-enrollment
- Tax entity re-configuration (FED, state, local)
- Parallel run validation before go-live
What carries over: employee demographics, pay components, some deduction codes. What doesn't: custom ADP scripts, historical absence balances, custom report logic.
UKG/Kronos → Dayforce
Time and attendance migration is the hardest part of a UKG/Kronos exit. The data structure is different; the tolerance for errors is zero.
- Timekeeping data mapping and validation
- Accrual balance migration (PTO, sick, holiday)
- Scheduling rule migration and review
- UKG/Kronos integration cutover planning
- Post-migration time data reconciliation
The Dayforce time model handles most UKG/Kronos patterns — but overtime rules, labor allocation, and badge-to-employee mapping are where migrations fail silently.
Workday → Dayforce
Workday HCM migrations require careful data extraction and re-normalization. The data exists — it's a matter of getting it into Dayforce's structure correctly.
- Workday data export audit and extraction
- Employee, compensation, and benefits data mapping
- Custom report extraction for Workday-managed workflows
- Integration mapping for existing Workday connectors
Workday's data model is more flexible than Dayforce's — migration prep often surfaces configuration gaps that were masked by Workday's customization options.
