The band pricing has sharp edges

Attachment of earnings orders are supported without a workaround. That said, the jump from the 25 band to the 50 band is close to double and still desktop at heart and remote working is clunky.

Pros

Attachment of earnings orders are supported without a workaround.

Cons

The jump from the 25 band to the 50 band is close to double.

Handles our 200 plus payroll

We run 240 people on the unlimited band and it does not blink. Rolling back a pay run and correcting a prior period actually works.

Pros

We run 240 people on the unlimited band and it does not blink.

Cons

P11D is a separate product and a separate cost.

Built for someone who knows payroll

The reporting is detailed enough that our auditors stopped asking questions, and rolling back a pay run and correcting a prior period actually works. The year end process is more manual than it needs to be, but we live with it.

Pros

The reporting is detailed enough that our auditors stopped asking questions.

Cons

The year end process is more manual than it needs to be.

Corrections actually work properly

Mixed. Auto enrolment assessment and postponement are handled properly, but P11D is a separate product and a separate cost.

Pros

Auto enrolment assessment and postponement are handled properly.

Cons

P11D is a separate product and a separate cost.
