Clean and well integrated

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. That said, it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first and pricing is quoted rather than published.

Automation actually saves us time

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

Cons

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

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using. Only real gripe is that it is more than the smallest employer needs.
