FAQs
We have been Dayforce partners for many years, so there's not much we don't know about the system.
Our team of problem-solvers and super-optimisers especially love helping you work out all of those complex processes and workflows.
If you'd like to know whether we can support your Dayforce instance have a read of our FAQs or if you still have questions, just ask!
What's typically included in your optimisation services?
All BAU system administration tasks associated with improvement/enhancement of existing functionality. Typically, this would include:
- support for HR system users
- issue diagnostics and resolution
- system training and onboarding support for new users
- minor enhancements or SaaS release system updates
- reporting and analytics
- access control and security
- process improvement, optimisation and workflows
- documentation such as user guides, FAQs and trouble shooting resources
The fee includes a lead consultant and project governance resources.
What's not covered?
Full implementation of the Dayforce system is not covered within this service. For implementation support and project management, please visit our Dayforce Implementation page.
There is scope however to implement additional modules or functionality as part of our ongoing service if required. This would warrant a review of your current rate, as would additional work not generally covered such as custom reporting and dashboards, integration with third party systems, data migration, wholesale security enhancements or compliance audits.
Can we raise tickets and check progress of outstanding tasks online?
Yes - all clients will have access to their own portal dashboard to raise and track tickets.
Are your Dayforce consultants accredited?
Yes, and they regularly get trained on system updates.
How is this different from Dayforce's own support?
Typically, Dayforce support is more advice and guidance lead and does not include hands-on system administration support to enhance functionality or associated processes. It also provides the opportunity for us to plan strategic improvements for your system throughout the year. For example if you need additional automation or reporting to further optimise in a ongoing basis.

Anisha Tank, VP of PeopleGreat advice & insights
What I loved about Silver Cloud is that they didn't do everything for us, but instead helped us understand the platform and really learn how to do things going forward.
They were even able to give us great advice and insight into how we could set things up based on their experience with similar companies.

Rowena Ramage
Head of PeopleThank you
I wanted to thank all at Silver Cloud HR for helping us and to sing the praises of our consultants. We could not have delivered this project without them. Although I'm sure they must have been screaming internally at times about the very short timeframe and zero margin for error, they never showed it.I could go on for hours about the miracles they helped us achieve but I would be here all night. -
Joanna Newell
Head of HRCannot thank them enough
The professionalism and expertise at Silver Cloud has been paramount in the success of our implementation. They have been an extension of our team and we were made to feel like their only client in terms of support and attention we received. Silver Cloud gave us reassurance, clarity, support and confidence. They really did lift a huge burden off the team during the implementation and in helping us to keep to time and resolve issues swiftly. -
Lynn Curtis
Pay & Benefits SpecialistAll went perfectly
Just a quick email to say thank you again for all your help and support with the payroll data templates. All went perfectly. We went live last week and our first payday was a total success with no errors or glitches. I couldn't have done it without you so thank you very much. -
Gary Klein
HR & Payroll System Project ManagerSense of confidence
The materials have not only equipped me with invaluable knowledge but has ensured we delivered quality learning materials and our teams have a sense of confidence in navigating a new platform with ease. Silver Cloud’s expertise shines through every page and video produced for us. -
Life Sciences
Client Side Senior Project ManagerA great deal of experience
We initially engaged Silver Cloud to assist us in the selection of a new HRIS. They brought a great deal of experience, solution knowledge, market awareness, logic and rigour to the process which ultimately increased our confidence in making the right decision. -
Karen Jacks
HR Business PartnerSupported every step of the way
This was a very exciting project for Finsbury Food Group as we started on our journey of implementing a full HR & Payroll system throughout the Group. The project team worked well together and the Silver Cloud implementation team made sure we were supported every step of the way. -
