DAY

Dayforce Inc

A maker of cloud-based software for managing employees, Dayforce builds tools for payroll, hiring, and benefits used by employers around the world. Its roots reach back to 1992, when Ceridian emerged from the restructuring of Control Data Corporation, and it later bought the Dayforce software platform in 2012 and rebranded itself under that name in 2024. The name reflects the founders' promise to "improve the Day for every person we serve" — employees even call themselves "Daymakers."
