Good experience and helpful after we manage to setup everything to our needs.
It worked well with integration with our HRIS application and able to connect with auto-deposit payroll payment system to help automating most of the payment process. The system is important to reduce mistake that happen with manual payment process that happening before.
Need a better support from the developer support for technical difficulties that we had with the system.

Poor response to mistakes made and still to this day the mistakes made and admitted to have not been corrected.
Nothing at all. Their service was forgetful and slow when they did respond to me bringing to their attention their mistakes with payroll. Email communications between myself and the company did not help resolve the matter.
Mistakes were not reversed even though many attempts were made on my behalf to communicate those mistakes. Their response to me took months when it should have takes days.

I hope the challenges would be sorted out soon for a remarkable experience. It is a great tool.
It is smarter and easier to use. Has an advanced technology which simplifies work for the best. Most of the work can be done on the mobile app remotely.
Full of benefits. However, during peak hours, it is hard to process data due to loading issues. This becomes worse when you are using the mobile app.

Until this recent upgrade I thought it was the easiest payroll product I ever used.
I used to love the ease of data entry. With the new upgrade, special payments take too much time as the data doesn't end up where I intend. I add an additional check and the payment ends up on the standard check.
Their latest upgrade is a disaster. I mastered how to do special checks. Worked for 2 months and then changed. The data doesn't always go into the fields where it belongs and I have to do many pre-runs to get it right.
Hi Sandra, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is important to us, and we apologize for the difficulties the recent upgrade has caused you and your business.

Not good at all. Customer Service sucks. I ask for help on an issue at the beginning of December and it is now the middle of January and the only emails the I got concerning my issue was emails the pass the buck to someone else.

Heartland was a nice group to work with when we were looking for a cheaper alternative for a HRIS company, we were referred by our insurance brokerage team and nothing but good things to say regarding the people who worked with Heartland.
What I liked most about Heartland Payroll was their push to work on the mobile app and making sure the employee has access to many of the features that Heartland payroll had to offer.
There are two different websites you needed access to in order to tackle the daily operations for Heartland while I was using it: One for Payroll and HR, and one for Onboarding and Time & Attendance. WHile that was becoming together on the mobile app towards the latter portion of our time with Heartland, there was no strides to do that for the websites.

Overall we decided to end our servivce with Heartland when our contract was up. We were able to find several other payroll providers who charged less with many more features and benefits.
Heartland Payroll worked and did what it was intended to do. I was able to process payroll and pay employees on time.
My experience with customer service was not great. They were difficult to contact, and I always had to leave a message and hope they would call me back. Most of the time I would have to reach out several times to get something resolved. Additionally, as an admin, I had very little access to the system, and there were very few things that I could change or update without contacting customer service.

Please do not use Heartland. It is difficult enough being a small business owner, this company could bankrupt you if you cannot weather the storm. It is very sad that a a company like this is still in business. They are suppose to provide professional services and according to my accountant and the TWC they are not held liable for their gross incompetence
The sales people. They were good, they personally visited me and the would still answer my call even after they sold me on their product.
We had a terrible experience. After the sales process was done, and we were promised the World, everything was downhill. We have had to pay over $12k in taxes and insurance audits due to incorrect reports. We have spent over 200 man hours and counting to fix their errors. Our employees never received correct W2s. We have 30 employees and Heartland has cost our company in excess of $20,000 and were with them for less than 1 year.

Horrible. Would not recommend to anyone. All tax issues I would attempt to handle on my own or be the middle man between heartland and the state to try and resolve. Better off doing it yourself.
The website worked alright for inputting hours. However frequently hours would be placed in the wrong job code.
Constant tax issues. Every quarter I would got noticed from the state saying my taxes were paid wrong. They don't check your amounts due for taxes. Surprise tax bills for several thousands frequently. Normally a 2 month response time for tax issues which make the following period also incorrect.

My overall experience wasn't great because once I switched to another payroll service, I found out that there was a lot of things that is supposed to be done by your payroll provider on behalf of your business and failure to do these things could result in penalties and fines for your business. I was not aware of any of this while I was a customer of Heartland payroll and it was not being done for me.
What I liked most about this software was the inexpensive price.
What I liked least about Heartland Payroll was that nothing was electronic. I had to call in payroll over the phone each time.
