Great for an in house team

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one.

Pros

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

Cons

It is more than the smallest employer needs.

Great for an in house team

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using. Only real gripe is that payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.
