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.

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

Posts to the ledger for us

Clean and well integrated

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 more than the smallest employer needs.
