Dayforce powers your payroll, workforce management, and talent across the globe. AirMason gives your policies a professional, trackable home. Together, you get a connected, compliant organization wherever your people are. Please keep in mind requirements may vary based on company size, industry, location, and workforce composition.
What Ceridian Dayforce Does Well
Ceridian Dayforce is a global HCM platform built on a single-application architecture. Headquartered in Minneapolis with a significant presence in Toronto, Ceridian serves organizations in more than 200 countries and territories.
The platform's signature capability is continuous pay calculation, which computes pay in real time as time, attendance, and schedule data changes throughout the pay period. This eliminates the traditional batch-processing approach and gives organizations an always-current view of labor costs.
Dayforce covers the full HCM spectrum: payroll, benefits, workforce management, talent management, and advanced analytics. The platform is particularly strong for enterprise and global organizations that need multi-country payroll, complex scheduling, and workforce intelligence capabilities, as noted in Ceridian's published resources.

Why Dayforce Users Need a Dedicated Handbook Platform
Ceridian Dayforce is one of the most powerful HCM platforms in the market. Its continuous pay calculation, global payroll capabilities, and workforce intelligence tools make it a natural choice for complex, growing organizations. But employee handbooks are not its focus.
Most Dayforce clients manage policies through the platform's document management module, which stores files but does not offer handbook-specific capabilities. The result is a gap between the sophistication of your HRIS and the quality of your employee handbook.
AirMason closes that gap. By pairing Dayforce with a purpose-built handbook platform, organizations get the operational power of a world-class HCM system and the compliance confidence of professionally designed, tracked, and updated employee handbooks.
Global Workforces Need Global Handbook Solutions
Dayforce serves organizations in over 200 countries and territories. For these global employers, a single employee handbook is not enough. Different jurisdictions have different employment laws, and employees need policies that apply to their specific location.
AirMason supports multi-jurisdiction handbook versions that are distributed based on employee location data from Dayforce. When employment laws change in a specific region, AirMason flags the affected policies and provides updates. Employees in that region are notified to re-acknowledge, and the complete audit trail is recorded.
This approach scales with the global footprint that Dayforce is built to support.
Connecting Continuous Pay to Continuous Compliance
Dayforce pioneered the concept of continuous pay calculation, where payroll data updates in real time rather than through batch processing. AirMason applies a similar philosophy to handbook compliance: policies are monitored continuously, not just checked at the time of creation.
When federal, state, or local employment laws change, AirMason identifies which of your handbook policies are affected and provides attorney-reviewed template updates. Your HR team reviews the changes, publishes the update, and employees receive notifications to re-acknowledge. The cycle is ongoing, not a one-time event.
For Dayforce users accustomed to real-time data, this approach to compliance feels familiar.
Getting Started With Dayforce and AirMason
AirMason's onboarding team works directly with your Dayforce administrators to configure the integration, migrate existing policies, and build your branded handbook. Setup typically takes under two weeks, even for complex global organizations.
If you are currently storing policies inside Dayforce as uploaded documents, our team will audit that content and restructure it into a modern, compliant handbook. Many organizations begin with our free handbook audit to identify gaps and compliance risks before building.
The integration is included in your AirMason subscription at no additional cost, whether it requires a standard API connection, SFTP sync, or custom development.
