Ceridian : Change Log & Notes

DataLakeHouse.io securely connects to your Ceridian Dayforce system. Using the form in the DataLakeHouse.io portal please complete the following steps:

If any issues occur with the Ceridian.com authorization, simply return to the sources page in DataLakeHouse.io, edit this source and click the 'Authorize Your Account' or 'Re-Authorize Your Account' button. If any issues persist please contact our support team via the DataLakeHouse Support Portal.

If your Dayforce implementation needs to first connect to a non-Production environment, use one of the non-production options from the Environment dropdown. It is recommended that you create multiple connectors in this case as you cannot and should not mix environments in the same replication process. Thus, create one Ceridian Dayforce source connection and select the non-production environment option. Complete any synchronization testing to your target connection. When ready, create a new Ceridian Dayforce source connection and select the Production environment option, create a new Sync Bridge, etc. You can later disable any Sync Bridges that you were using the non-production connector to prevent any charges from that non-production source replication. Remember, utilization charges apply for any production or non-production environments.

It is rare that Ceridian Dayforce provides your company with an environment that is not one of the following:

However, if you do have a special environment, you will need to contact DataLakeHouse.io support or your DLH.io account manager in order to have the option to connect to a non-standard Dayforce environment.

The following Ceridian Dayforce entities are replicated to Snowflake. Ceridian makes changes to their API on a quarterly basis and we are notified in advance in order to incorporate these changes in a timely manner. These are the table names you will see in Snowflake and click to view a detailed description of each table and column:

For Employee Pay Summary, the last 10 days worth of records are always replicated in order to capture manual changes that may have occurred within Ceridian. For example, an employee submits a timesheet on a Friday and their manager makes a manually adjustment within Ceridian the following Tuesday prior to the pay period closing. The Ceridian API end point does not have a last updated date so we need to replicate the last 10 days of Pay Summary records.

The Ceridian Employee Pay Summary endpoint does not contain a last updated timestamp so DataLakeHouse is unable to determine a more graceful way of replicating the last changed Pay Summary record. Thus, this is why DataLakeHouse.io will always replicate the last 10 days worth of Pay Summary records to your Target Connection.

Employee data such as Employee and Employee Status data for each Sync Bridge data pull goes back 31 days to retrieve correct statuses, etc. for each employee where a change has been made in those last 31 days, for delta/incremental loads. This date distance/history can be modified when using a Historical Re-Sync for Employee and then reverts to 31 days once the historical load is completed.

If you don't see your custom entities per your Dayforce configuration above don't worry. DataLakeHouse.io retrieves custom entities as well if they are accessible. After the first sync bridge synchronization to your target warehouse, if you do not see any anticipated custom schemas please contact our support team.

It's not uncommon for the credentials used for connecting to Ceridian Dayforce to not have all the necessary permissions to replicate all of the desired Entities. Within DataLakeHouse, when you check Logs & Monitoring, Monitoring, Filter errors/failures only you will see an entry below which indicates that the "Current users doe not have access to..." This message is generated by the Ceridian Dayforce API and is passed to DataLakeHouse.

The following are how to address common permission issues from within Ceridian Dayforce:

The Ceridian API only allows thirty (7) days worth of data to be loaded for certain entities (Employee Punches). In order to rectify this situation please follow these steps:

2. Another reason you may not be seeing all of the Employee Punch data is that you have manual punches in Ceridian. In order to replicate these manual punch es, go into Ceridian and
