Automation actually saves us time

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. Only real gripe is that it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

The nicest payroll tool we have used

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. That said, it is more than the smallest employer needs and it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

Pros

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

Cons

It is more than the smallest employer needs.

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us, and it feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. It is more than the smallest employer needs, but we live with it.

Pros
