Simple payroll, does the job

A pay run for twelve people takes about ten minutes. Only real gripe is that not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies.

Pros

Not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies.

Good for a small team

Copilot caught a net pay that had moved 40 percent before I committed, and payslips self serve so nobody emails me asking for one. No complaints so far.

Pros

Cons

Not enough depth if you run multiple pay frequencies.
