Smooth Data Migration: Moving from SelectHR & SelectPay to Dayforce
Overview
Our partner, LitE Consulting, was helping a client transition from Access’ SelectHR and SelectPay software to Ceridian Dayforce, a modern HR and payroll platform.
Moving from one system to another isn’t just about switching software—it’s about ensuring that all critical employee data is transferred accurately and securely, without disrupting payroll or HR processes. That’s where we stepped in.
To support LitE Consulting, we developed custom scripts that extracted data from SelectHR and SelectPay and formatted it to fit Dayforce’s onboarding templates. This ensured a smooth migration, allowing the client to get up and running on Dayforce without any headaches.
Technical Overview (Explained Simply!)
Think of this process like moving house. You don’t just grab everything and throw it into a new home—you need to organize, label, and make sure everything fits in the right place.
Here’s how we made the transition easy:
📤 Step 1: Extracting Data – We wrote custom scripts to pull essential employee data from SelectHR and SelectPay (like payroll records, job details, and personal info).
🛠️ Step 2: Formatting & Cleaning – Data from different systems often looks different, so we reformatted it to match Dayforce’s required structure. This made sure that when the data was uploaded, everything ended up in the right place.
📥 Step 3: Populating Dayforce Templates – Once cleaned and structured, the data was inserted into Dayforce’s onboarding templates, ready for upload.
✅ Step 4: Validation & Testing – Before handing over the data, we ran checks and validations to catch any errors and ensure a seamless transition.
The Result?
With our expertise in data extraction and transformation, we helped LitE Consulting and their client move to Dayforce with confidence. By automating the migration process, we eliminated manual data entry, reduced errors, and ensured a stress-free switch to the new system.
