Add the cost before you compare
Not something a payroll bureau should be looking at, and corrections to a past period are more awkward than they should be. Auto enrolment assessment happens each period without me chasing it, which is about the only positive.
Pros

Cons
Not something a payroll bureau should be looking at.

Mixed. Payslips self serve so the team stopped emailing me for copies, but not something a payroll bureau should be looking at.

Does the basics well
Payslips self serve so the team stopped emailing me for copies. That said, CIS sits in the accounting side, which confused us at first and depth runs out fast if your payroll is anything but straightforward.
