Does Files.com integrate with Ceridian through an API?

No. Files.com is not a Ceridian or Dayforce API app, and you do not install anything in Ceridian. Files.com is the SFTP endpoint Dayforce already delivers files to and retrieves them from. Ceridian handles the payroll and HR data; Files.com secures, automates, and audits the file exchange around it.

Can Files.com handle PGP-encrypted Ceridian files?

Yes. Files.com decrypts inbound PGP files and encrypts outbound ones as part of the workflow, using keys you control — so the encryption Ceridian and your benefits carriers require is handled without a separate tool or a script to maintain.

Run Secure Ceridian File Transfers

Ceridian Dayforce delivers and retrieves payroll, benefits, and HR feeds over SFTP, and those files are commonly PGP-encrypted. Files.com is the managed SFTP endpoint that receives, decrypts, routes, and audits every one of them.

How Files.com Fits With Ceridian

Dayforce moves data to and from your vendors as scheduled file feeds. Payroll exports to the payroll provider, benefits enrollment to carriers, general-ledger files to finance, and new-hire and termination feeds to downstream systems all write to, or read from, an SFTP destination on a calendar Ceridian controls.

Files.com is that SFTP destination, run as a service. Dayforce delivers to your Files.com site; an Automation decrypts the file, checks it, renames and routes it to the right vendor folder, and hands it off — or collects inbound vendor files and stages them for Ceridian to retrieve. Every transfer is logged, every vendor is scoped to its own folder, and PGP encryption is handled in place with your keys.

See PGP Encryption

Route Each Feed Automatically

An Automation renames, splits, and routes each payroll, GL, or benefits feed to the right vendor folder on a schedule, and retries on failure instead of paging someone.

See Automations

Scope Every Vendor

Each payroll provider, benefits carrier, or downstream system gets its own folder, its own credentials, and its own permissions — with a full record of every file they sent or received.
