Clean and well integrated

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005, and the interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using. No complaints so far.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Great for an in house team

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us, and the automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. It is more than the smallest employer needs, but we live with it.

Pros

It is more than the smallest employer needs.
