Dayforce, Inc., a global leader in human capital management (HCM), has announced the rebranding of its payroll and HR platform for small and mid-sized businesses in Canada. Now known as Powerpay by Dayforce, the refreshed offering reflects the company’s renewed commitment to supporting the unique challenges and ambitions of Canada’s SMB community.
Small and mid-sized businesses are the backbone of Canada’s economy, accounting for nearly all active businesses and contributing billions to national GDP each year. Yet for many owners, keeping up with constant legislative changes and complex compliance requirements can be overwhelming. Powerpay by Dayforce aims to ease that burden with simple, dependable tools that help employers pay their people accurately, stay compliant, and focus on growing their business.
“Powerpay represents our commitment to Canadian small and mid-sized businesses. We see your challenges, we support your ambitions, and we’re building for your successes,” said David Ossip, Chair and CEO at Dayforce. “Powerpay is designed to simplify compliance, save time, and help business owners focus on what matters most – their companies. We’re proud to help transform the way Canadian businesses operate, grow, and thrive.”

These upgrades help teams make faster, more informed decisions and keep payroll operations running smoothly.
For businesses like Apollo Property Management, the improvements have made a tangible difference. “Powerpay has transformed how we manage payroll,” said Krista Hanes, Director of Administration & Corporate Services at Apollo. “The platform is intuitive, scalable, and a great fit for a business like ours that runs multiple payrolls. It gives our HR and finance teams peace of mind, knowing payroll is always accurate and on time. We see Powerpay as a trusted partner and are excited about what’s ahead.”
With Powerpay by Dayforce, the company aims to continue simplifying compliance and payroll complexity for its 46,000+ Canadian SMB customers – helping them navigate change, reduce administrative workload, and position their businesses for growth.
