Case Study: Morrison Hershfield achieves real-time project and business-unit profitability with Dayforce

Morrison Hershfield - Customer Case Study

Morrison Hershfield is a Canada‑headquartered, employee‑owned consulting engineering firm with about 850 staff across Canada and the U.S. The company needed to solve persistent payroll pain points: integrate payroll with its ERP and general ledger, establish a documented and consistent payroll process, support multinational (Canada/U.S.) payroll compliance, and improve payroll accuracy and reporting so leaders could assess project and business unit profitability.

Morrison Hershfield selected Ceridian’s Managed Payroll solution to integrate payroll, expense reimbursement and HR data with its ERP, automating postings and streamlining accruals and reporting. The integration delivered timely business intelligence (including salaries vs. time charged by department and individual), greater payroll accuracy and consistency, and scalable support—enabling 40% headcount growth without adding in‑house payroll/HR staff—while employees gained conveniences like electronic pay slips and tax forms.
