Director of Finance
5.0

Samantha F.: Hello. My name is Sam. I'm the Director of Finance within the aviation industry. I rate Powerpay five of five. For more reviews like this click, the link below. We use Ceridian Powerpay to manage many day-to-day business activities, such as time off requests. We use it to get much HR support. We use it for everyday payroll processing and to remit all of our payroll taxes. The thing I love most about Powerpay is that I can have a customer service representative within couple seconds on the phone. There's no waiting. It's just, if you have a question, you dial in a number and like I said, within a couple of seconds, you're able to speak to a real person, in real time, who can help you solve all of your payroll issues. They can log right into your payroll account and show you right on your screen what you've done wrong, or what you need to do in order to solve the problem that you have. The thing I like least about Powerpay is within a new app that they just launched called Powerpay People. It allows you to manage the time off requests for employees. It has a clock-in/ clock-out functionality and other great, potentially great, solutions for small businesses like mine. The thing I like least about it, sorry, is that it's expensive. I think it's very unaffordable for small businesses and it doesn't always work super great when you go to use the payroll processing function. For example, if an employee submits an eight hour time off request using their vacation time, but say they worked through their lunch the day before, so they were hoping to only use seven hours of vacation, it actually doesn't allow the payroll administrator, such as myself, to go back and edit their time off requests, to be only for seven hours instead of eight, which is slightly problematic. However, I have spoken with the tech team and they've said that they're actually in development of making this a little bit more user-friendly, which would be awesome. So I look forward to seeing what they come up with and I also hope that in the future, they can lower the startup fees associated with the time, the clock-in/clock-out functionality. Right now, I think it's a thousand dollars. But anyways, hopefully it gets used more and they're able to lower those fees for small businesses.
