Dayforce, Inc. (NYSE: DAY; TSX: DAY), a global leader in human capital management (HCM), has rebranded its payroll and HR solution for Canadian small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) as Powerpay by Dayforce. This move underscores the company’s renewed strategic focus and ongoing commitment to serving the unique and evolving needs of over 46,000 customers across Canada.

SMBs form the backbone of Canada’s economy, contributing billions to GDP annually and representing nearly the entire business landscape. However, operating in this sector has become increasingly complex, with hundreds of legislative changes introduced each year. Business owners now face a rapidly changing compliance and employment regulation environment, making reliable, streamlined payroll and HR tools essential.

“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.”

Alongside the rebrand, Powerpay now offers an enhanced, more intuitive interface with improved time tracking and compensation features. Updates such as the New Hire Wizard and bulk self-service enrollment streamline onboarding and daily operations, increasing efficiency, providing better visibility into workforce data, and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.

“Powerpay has transformed how we manage payroll,” shared Krista Hanes, Director of Administration & Corporate Services at Apollo Property Management. “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.”

Leadership Expansion to Drive Growth

In line with its mission for sustained growth and innovation, Dayforce has appointed Behrad Bayanpour as General Manager of Powerpay. In his role as SVP of Strategy and Growth at Dayforce, Bayanpour oversees Sales, Product, Engineering, and Services, bringing a focused vision to advance Powerpay’s goal of delivering reliable, secure, and compliant solutions to Canadian business owners.

“As we build on Powerpay’s momentum, our commitment to empowering Canada’s small and mid-sized businesses has never been stronger,” said Bayanpour. “We’re not just providing a platform — we’re forging partnerships that fuel growth, drive innovation, and help SMBs navigate an evolving landscape with confidence and optimism.”
