Takes the stress out of month end

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

Pros

We run staff in a few African countries and it deals with the different tax rules for each one, which is not easy to find.

Cons

Nothing major honestly. Maybe the mobile app could load a touch quicker.

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.

Does the basics fine

Decent for compliance, average on usability. If you are not from a payroll background be ready to learn.

Payroll comes out accurate and the statutory submissions are handled, which is what I care about most.

Cons

The setup and general navigation are not intuitive. Simple tasks take more steps than they should.

Payroll is a breeze now

Been using it for a couple of years now across our branches and it just works. The setup took some patience but the team walked us through all of it.

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

The onboarding felt like a lot at the start, but thats payroll for you, not really their fault.

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.

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

Cloud payroll done right

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

Would not recommend

We lost hours every month working around problems that should never happen in a payroll system. Cannot recommend it.

Its cloud based so I can run the whole thing from home when I need to. No software to install, no backups to worry about.
