Clean and well integrated

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using, and it feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere, but we live with it.

Pros

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using.

Cons

Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one, and the interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using. No complaints so far.

Pros

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one.

Cons

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

Mixed. Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon, but payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. That said, pricing is quoted rather than published and it is more than the smallest employer needs.

Pros
