Sync Dayforce HCM data to automate employee lifecycle and payroll-driven IT workflows.

Ceridian Dayforce is a comprehensive cloud HCM platform that combines HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management in a single application. Connecting Dayforce to Harmony enables automated IT provisioning triggered by HR events, intelligent workforce analytics, and seamless employee lifecycle management.

## Capabilities

- **Employee Data Sync**: Sync employee profiles, departments, and organizational structure
- **Onboarding Automation**: Automate IT setup when new hires are added
- **Offboarding Workflows**: Secure access removal during employee terminations
- **Lifecycle Automation**: Automate IT tasks for role changes, transfers, and promotions

## What Harmony does with Ceridian Dayforce

Connecting Dayforce makes HR the trigger for IT, so onboarding, transfers, and offboarding happen automatically instead of by ticket. Harmony reads positions, cost centers, and reporting lines to answer "who's my manager?" or "who's in finance?" in seconds, and every access change ties back to a real employee record for a clean audit trail. Your People and IT teams work from the same source of truth.

## Data synced

- Employee identity, names, emails, and employee numbers
- Job details, titles, departments, pay groups, and cost centers
- Manager and supervisor relationships and reporting hierarchy
- Employment status, position level, and hire and termination dates

## Actions available

- Automate IT setup when a new hire (or pending employee) is added
- Adjust access and licenses when someone transfers or is promoted
- Trigger offboarding to remove access and recover assets on termination

## Real-world use cases

**Pre-boarding for pending hires**: A pending employee appears in Dayforce. Harmony stages accounts and equipment so everything is ready before day one.

**Transfer without gaps**: An employee moves to a new department. Harmony updates group memberships and app access as the change lands in Dayforce.

**Airtight offboarding**: On a termination, Harmony revokes access across systems and starts asset recovery the moment payroll marks the record.
