Solid system for a growing team

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.

Pros

Reporting is strong once you get the hang of it. I can pull a full cost to company breakdown in a minute or two.

Cons

I wish a few of the report layouts were easier to customise without asking support.

Reliable every single month

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.

Being cloud based I can run payroll from anywhere. Office, home, on my phone when I am travelling, it does not matter.

Cons

None that come to mind really. We are very happy.

Not for a small team

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

Works well once you get used to it

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

The compliance handling is the strong point. HMRC submissions and statutory stuff are taken care of so I sleep easier.

None really.

Support let us down

Too heavy for a business our size. We spend more time managing the software than doing payroll.

Far too complex for what we need. Simple changes require support or a consultant.

It keeps payroll and leave in one place so I am not jumping between systems.

Cons

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

Gets the job done

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.

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