Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and VoltDB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: VoltDB and Ceridian Dayforce share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ceridian Dayforce is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. VoltDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries, Employee Schedules in Ceridian Dayforce need to exist as queryable Streams, Export Targets and Topics, Partitioned Tables, Replicated Tables in VoltDB before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Streams, Export Targets and Topics, Partitioned Tables, Replicated Tables in VoltDB with Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries, Employee Schedules in Ceridian Dayforce field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ceridian Dayforce typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push aggregates from VoltDB materialized views into dashboards or operational tools.
  • 02 Sync customer or account reference data from a CRM into VoltDB replicated tables for in-transaction lookups such as fraud or policy checks.
  • 03 Replicate Compensation Summary and pay data into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and compensation reporting without manual BI exports.
  • 04 Sync time data by posting raw clock entries from a third-party scheduling tool into Dayforce, or pulling Employee Punches and Schedules into a workforce-analytics database.

Common sync patterns

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ceridian Dayforce stay consistent in VoltDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in VoltDB write onto the matching record in Ceridian Dayforce where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Ceridian Dayforce land as queryable Streams, Export Targets and Topics, Partitioned Tables, Replicated Tables in VoltDB, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and VoltDB

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Ceridian Dayforce objects VoltDB objects How this pairing syncs
Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions Configuration reference data; POST creates org units and departments and PATCH updates job, position, department, and org-unit data. Used to resolve and validate XRefCodes when mapping employee writes. Materialized Views Synchronously maintained aggregates over tables, useful as pre-computed read sources. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Materialized Views to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time Away From Work & Balances Time-off requests and accrual balances read per employee; pulled into scheduling, payroll, or absence-reporting databases and used to reconcile leave against downstream systems. Streams Insert-only constructs that feed the export subsystem with committed rows. Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Streams to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee (HR / Person Details) Core worker record keyed by XRefCode; GET Employees returns matching XRefCodes, then a per-employee GET fetches full HR details. New hires are added with POST and edits made with PATCH, so it is read and write. Export Targets and Topics Connectors that push committed data to external systems such as Kafka or JDBC sinks. Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Export Targets and Topics to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Status Effective-dated employment status and type (active, leave, terminated) that drives active/terminated state for downstream provisioning; read, and writable as new dated status records. Partitioned Tables Tables sharded across partitions by a partitioning column; the primary transactional store and sync target. Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Partitioned Tables to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Assignments Effective-dated position, department, location, and org-unit assignment; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Read and updatable via PATCH. Replicated Tables Small reference tables copied to every partition, a common landing spot for synced lookup data. Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Replicated Tables to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments Compensation Summary returns pay rate and frequency for reporting; Employee Pay Adjustments are written as effective-dated records via PATCH to post pay changes back to Dayforce. Stored Procedures Precompiled transactional units that serve as the primary write interface. Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Stored Procedures to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and VoltDB

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Ceridian Dayforce VoltDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionCeridian Dayforce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to VoltDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

VoltDB Ceridian Dayforce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls VoltDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Export streams and topics push committed changes to configured targets.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ceridian Dayforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.
  • VoltDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by partition count and cluster sizing.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and VoltDB connectors work

Ceridian Dayforce

Integration surface
REST API (Dayforce RESTful Web Services, v1/v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated Web Services user plus the client namespace (Company ID), or an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Dayforce identity endpoint (POST dfid.dayforcehcm.com/connect/token, client_id Dayforce.HCMAnywhere.Client). Token-based auth is recommended, and the Web Services role with the Read Data subfeature must be enabled on the account.
Change detection
No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged.
