Cons

“That’s part of the usual game. But what I had never seen until now—and what has deeply outraged me—is that they take one of the CORE modules, decisive in choosing the tool (such as payroll), and tell you that in 3 months they’re going to deprecate it. But not to worry, because they’ll launch a new payroll module outside the CORE, supposedly much better. And yet they don’t reduce the price of the CORE product, and the new pricing is an additional €2.5 per employee for this new payroll module.”

“We unfortunately had some issues as Factorial could not set up our pay differentials into their time clock appropriately.”

“Under German law, unilateral price increases without explicit consent or direct notice are generally not valid. Yet Factorial has ignored my messages while continuing to charge the higher amount.”
