Office Manager - Payroll administrator

It is user friendly and when I have any questions, it doesn't take very long to get assistance online through the chat agent. I love how you all do your best to make our lives easier by doing payroll.

Personal assistant to the President.

On a monthly basis, it fabulous as once everything is in place it works seamlessly when I need to go on and take care of the payroll.

My experience with Payworks is being wonderful, because they always get back to me very fast and answer all my questions.

System Adminstrator

Payworks makes payroll processing simple and efficient. The platform is user-friendly, with great customer support and seamless integration with HR tools.

Owner

They have settings that can really mess things up.

Payroll Benefits Administrator

Payworks was a welcome change for all our staff and managers. We moved over from Ceridian and while it had lots of bells and whistles the cost was prohibitive to what we really needed in a system.

It's user friendly than most of the payroll systems I have used so far. And very reasonable pricing.

Operations Manager

Overall, our experience with Payworks has been pleasant. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, but the user interface leaves a bit to be desired.

Director, Human Resources

There are a few limitations to the system but nothing that is really contentious.

Student

My time sheet and time off buttons keep switching and I can’t control it. Some days I need the time sheet but the feature disappears.

Caseload Manager

We had a hard time getting the initial training. Then, when we needed assistance it was difficult to get hold of someone.

Lead, Talent Acquisition

It's a fully integrated Payroll/HR / Workforce management tool for smb/corporate or book keepers or accountants. It also has other HRIS / or ATS add ons as well as it tries to be jack of all trades.

Deluxe Payment Exchange

Dayforce HCM

Easypay

It’s okay

I have always had great support from Payworks.

We recommend Payworks to our clients all the time

Payworks is a great service

Hi Robin, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! 


Been using payworks for a long time, it is a simple tool for payroll, time off, vacation management and if you add the other components to it, it will still works but it's just not very fully integrated compare to ripping or other total HRIS / Payroll solutions on the market. Security would be a concern as it doesn't seem like the company or the product is fully innovative OR secure compare to a Deel OR Namely if you compare it to other competitors on the market.  Looking at the history of the company, it's been around for a long time so it's not a startup and will probably not have new features release down the road.

Affordable Payroll / HR / workforce Solution but don't expect much beyond that

It's been great.  The transition from Deluxe was smooth and if I couldn't figure something out, [sensitive content hidden] always helped me.

Great Payroll Provider
