The nicest payroll tool we have used

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. Only real gripe is that it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

Pros

Cons

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

Clean and well integrated

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using, and the integration into our accounting posts the journal for us. It is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

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

Great for an in house team

Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon, and the integration into our accounting posts the journal for us. Pricing is quoted rather than published, but we live with it.
