It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. That said, payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere and pricing is quoted rather than published.

Pros

Payroll that feels modern

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using. Only real gripe is that pricing is quoted rather than published.

Clean and well integrated

Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere, and it is more than the smallest employer needs. The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us, which is about the only positive.

Pros

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us.

Cons

Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

Automation actually saves us time

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using, and the automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. No complaints so far.

Pros

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

Cons

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