Pros

“They handle the filing of 941's and any other Payroll Related taxes - and make issuing tax related documents to your employees a breeze every January!”
AH

Allison H.

Operations Manager and HR

“They gave me a year of paying one month and not paying the next. When it works, it's decent- just a payroll service.”

Pros

“The system simplifies payroll processing, onboarding, benefits administration, and employee self-service, which saves a significant amount of administrative time. While it may have some limitations for larger or more complex organizations, it provides a strong user experience, reliable automation, and solid customer support for companies seeking an all-in-one HR and payroll platform.”

Cons

“Their customer service agents will over-promise and tell you things that are not accurate, so then you have to deal with another agent to fix the issues.”
