Automation actually saves us time

Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon. Only real gripe is that it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

The nicest payroll tool we have used

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. That said, it is more than the smallest employer needs and payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

Pros

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

Cons

It is more than the smallest employer needs.

The nicest payroll tool we have used

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005, and the automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. No complaints so far.

Pros

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

Cons

It is more than the smallest employer needs.

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us. Only real gripe is that pricing is quoted rather than published.

Pros

Cons
