Great for an in house team

Pricing is quoted rather than published. It is more than the smallest employer needs. Looking at alternatives.

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

Cons

Pricing is quoted rather than published.

Automation actually saves us time

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us, and onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon. No complaints so far.

Clean and well integrated

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using. That said, payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere and it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

Payroll that feels modern

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.
