Payroll that feels modern

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us, and the automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. No complaints so far.

Pros

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us.

Cons

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

Automation actually saves us time

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using.

Pros

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

Cons

Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

The nicest payroll tool we have used

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. Only real gripe is that pricing is quoted rather than published.
