The nicest payroll tool we have used

Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon. The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using.

Pros

Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon.

Automation actually saves us time

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using, 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

Cons

It is more than the smallest employer needs.

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

The nicest payroll tool we have used

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us.

Pros

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

Cons

Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.
