Not for a small team

We have battled with this since we moved over. The system is capable but getting it to do what you want is a fight.

Would recommend with small caveats

Reliable and it has not let us down on a pay run yet. Support can be slow at times but they get there.

It scales with you. We added headcount and did not have to change anything about how we run payroll.

Cons

The learning curve is real. Give yourself a good few weeks before you feel comfortable.

Does exactly what we need

The tax updates come through automatically so I am not scrambling every time the budget changes. Big relief for a small HR team.

It handles our RTI and the HMRC submissions without me having to think too hard. Tax tables update on their own when treasury changes them.

Cons

The interface looks a bit dated in places. It does the job but a fresh coat of paint would not hurt.

Sorted our whole payroll

Solid product. We are a manufacturing business with weekly and monthly staff and it copes with all of it fine.

The support team actually understands payroll. When I log a query they know what I am talking about instead of reading off a script.

Cons

Sometimes the system is a little slow first thing in the morning when everyone logs in.

Middle of the road for us

We use it because it works, not because we love it. Support is slow and the interface takes getting used to.

Once it is set up it is stable and runs each month without drama.

The reporting takes real effort to configure the way you want.

Average experience

It does what it needs to for payroll but I would not call it easy. There is a fair bit of clicking around to get simple things done.

It feels built for bigger companies. As a smaller team a lot of it is overkill for us.

Love the self service portal

We moved our whole payroll onto PaySpace last year and honestly I do not know how we managed before. Payslips go out on time every month and staff can pull their own P60s without bugging me.

Payslips look professional and go out by email automatically. Staff stopped coming to ask for copies.

Runs like clockwork. I do payroll for about 80 people and month end used to eat my whole week, now its a day at most.

Good for medium sized teams

We have been on it about a year. Once you learn where everything is it runs smoothly, but the first month or two was a steep climb.

Cloud access means I am not tied to one machine. That flexibility has been useful more than once.

Cons

Some of the screens feel cluttered and it is not always obvious where a setting lives.
