5.0

Balwant S: This is Balwant. I am an administrator for a real estate company. I'm helping them with the payroll. I selected Payroll based on my search and I give them five out of five. We were using actually an actual payroll service instead of using the software. It was too expensive. I basically did a search on internet and based on the description, based on the services, based on the cost, I add my own, thought the Patriot Payroll was the best. Starting with the Payroll was very easy and most of the stuff I was able to do at my own. Wherever I needed help, they had an excellent customer support. I will suggest anybody who would like to use a payroll service, especially small companies, use the Patriot Payroll.
