Clean and well integrated

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. Only real gripe is that it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

Pros

Cons

It is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

Clean and well integrated

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using, and it feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere, but we live with it.

Pros

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using.

Cons

Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

Automation actually saves us time
