Good payroll, some quirks
Reliable for submissions and pensions, though the interface feels a little behind the times.
RTI and auto-enrolment work reliably.
None so far.

LinkedIn verifiedThe core is fine but once we added the cloud pieces the cost crept up and it felt less of a bargain.
The submissions themselves were reliable.
Costs climbed with the add ons.

LinkedIn verifiedFPS and EPS to HMRC go through without a hitch every month. The employee app cut down on payslip queries too.
Excellent value compared with the bigger payroll names.
Nothing worth noting.
Bookkeeper, Ashcroft Digital
Payroll runs smoothly every month and year end is far less stressful than it used to be.
Auto-enrolment handling is a real time saver.
Some screens feel a bit dated.

LinkedIn verifiedIt handles RTI, auto-enrolment and statutory pay reliably. Connect being a separate add on is the only slight downside.
HMRC submissions are consistent and trouble free.

The value for money is hard to beat.
HR and Payroll Lead
Switched from a manual process and it took the pain out of pensions and RTI. Statutory pay calculations are spot on.
The bureau features make running many clients genuinely manageable.
BrightPay Connect is a separate add on you need to budget for.

Automatic enrolment and the pension provider links save me hours every month.
Nothing significant, it does its job every month.
