Good all rounder for a growing team

Having HR, payroll and benefits in one place ended three subscriptions. Only real gripe is that a dedicated payroll tool handles our odd cases better.

All in one means good at lots rather than best at any one thing, and the Australian roots show in a few workflows. Having HR, payroll and benefits in one place ended three subscriptions, which is about the only positive.
