Solid but has a learning curve

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

Payslips email out automatically and look neat and professional.

Cons

Support response times are hit and miss. Sometimes quick, sometimes I wait a day or two.

Glad we switched

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

The employee self service is the big one for me. Staff log in, check payslips, apply for leave and update their own details, which frees up so much of my time.

Cons

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

Good product for the money. Not the prettiest system out there but it is accurate and that matters more to me.

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

Custom reports usually mean a support ticket, which is a bit frustrating.

Takes the stress out of month end

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.

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.

Fine once you fight through setup

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

It is powerful but so complicated that half the features go unused. When something goes wrong support takes forever to come back.
