Yes. Domains for your saved Ceridian contacts, marketing emails, product updates, and other notification emails will begin changing in early February 2024 from @Ceridian.com to @Dayforce.com. This will take place over a period of a few months. Emails will forward automatically from an employee or shared mailbox with a Ceridian email address to the new Dayforce email address. To ensure messages are not lost, emails sent to a Ceridian account will continue to forward to the new Dayforce account until late 2025.

The product portfolio will be updated to reflect the unified Dayforce brand. Most products will transition to the Dayforce nomenclature through 2024. Products with URLs that contain “Ceridian” will also be rebranded and redirected to “Dayforce” URLs through 2024 – these will be communicated through our existing Product & Technology communications channels. Many of our global operating entities have already begun to individually transition to Dayforce, and further details and timing will be communicated as appropriate.
Will the look and functionality of products change?

We will continue to innovate the technology and capabilities that have made us a market leader. Product release updates and critical product announcements will be shared through all of our existing Product & Technology communications channels.
