Case Study: The Dallas Cowboys achieves faster payroll and streamlined HR operations with Dayforce

The Dallas Cowboys make a smart play with Dayforce

The Dallas Cowboys, a complex sports and entertainment organization with 650 employees across multiple business lines, were struggling with disconnected HR and payroll systems that made recruiting, onboarding, compliance, and employee self-service difficult. They needed a more integrated way to manage workforce operations, and turned to Dayforce Payroll and the broader Dayforce HCM platform to help streamline the chaos.

Dayforce unified HR, payroll, benefits, time and attendance, recruiting, onboarding, learning, performance, compensation, and Dayforce Wallet into a single system. The results were strong: the Cowboys funded over $1 million in on-demand payroll requests within a year, cut payroll processing time by 50% after moving to bi-weekly payroll, and improved candidate and employee experiences while reducing manual work and compliance risk.
