Volunteer treasurer, three employees, zero payroll knowledge

The club employs a coach and two part time staff. I inherited payroll with the treasurer role and this software has made it a non event in my month.

Pros

It tells me what to do and in what order. Phone support has twice talked me through things patiently, once about a new starter checklist, once about a tax code notice. Auto enrolment letters generated for us.

Cons

Some of the HR features are wasted on three employees but you cannot buy the payroll without them. Would take a leaner cheaper tier.

Struggled with our drivers variable hours

Might be the right tool for salaried staff but our drivers do different hours every single week and getting those in is more manual than the sales pitch suggested. Timesheets helped a bit but the drivers will not use the app consistently.

Pros

When the hours are in, the calculations are correct. HMRC side is reliable.

Cons

Entering variable hours for twenty drivers weekly is tedious. Import template is strict and rejects files for formatting quibbles. Support twice suggested things I had already told them I tried. Considering whether a driver focused system suits us better.
