Pros

“My personal experience with CHIPS has been great. It is a great payroll software, pretty easy to use.”

Aaron J.

Deputy Clerk-Treasurer

“I have worked with payroll many years and this is by far the best software I have seen. I like how it interfaces with BUCS and makes bookkeeping so easy.”

Shelley W.

Office Administrator

“It also seems like the layout of all three of the FREY programs are the same which helps with finding what I need to get to work.”

Dona S.

Payroll Coordinator

Cons

“I am the worst about not clicking the OK button after changing information in an employee file.”

Sandra T.

HR Specialist

“You also have to pay attention because one tab could affect the rest of the tables, or a deduction code could override a setting.”

Aaron J.

Deputy Clerk-Treasurer

“If you do not click this button, you will learn at the end of the pay period or month, depending on what reports you do, that your changes did not go through.”
