Payslips self serve so the team stopped emailing me for copies, and one supplier for accounts and payroll keeps the audit trail simple. Not something a payroll bureau should be looking at, but we live with it.

Fine for a simple payroll
Auto enrolment assessment happens each period without me chasing it, and the pay run is forgiving for someone who is not a payroll specialist. No complaints so far.
Pros
Auto enrolment assessment happens each period without me chasing it.
Cons
Depth runs out fast if your payroll is anything but straightforward.
One supplier for accounts and payroll keeps the audit trail simple, and payslips self serve so the team stopped emailing me for copies. Corrections to a past period are more awkward than they should be, but we live with it.

Fine for a simple payroll
Auto enrolment assessment happens each period without me chasing it. That said, it is a paid add on, so compare the real total against Xero and Sage and corrections to a past period are more awkward than they should be.

One supplier for accounts and payroll keeps the audit trail simple. Only real gripe is that CIS sits in the accounting side, which confused us at first.

Does the basics well
CIS sits in the accounting side, which confused us at first, and corrections to a past period are more awkward than they should be. One supplier for accounts and payroll keeps the audit trail simple, which is about the only positive.
