Clean and well integrated

It is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first, and pricing is quoted rather than published. Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon.

Cons

It is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. That said, payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere and pricing is quoted rather than published.

Pros

Cons

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one.

Pros

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005.

Cons

It is more than the smallest employer needs.
