Patriot Software reached out to me as a professional bookkeeper and I am glad I responded to them - the service has been great and flexible so far.
Frustrating to have a long delay - "bank days" from entering payroll to pay date/direct deposit. Since all electronic transactions, makes no sense that weekends are excluded in that timeframe.
I love how it's visually easy to understand, and there are a lot of help features. It's nice too that when I have a question, it seems like I never wait very long at all for someone to help me.
Unable to pay Salary Employees a percentage of their pay if they resigned or are terminated during a pay period.
Simply awesome! as I said Im happy I know abojt Patriot, I save lots of time and money by doing it myself.
I have had "missing" payroll that no one can explain, then it's up to me to figure out the taxes and manually put in QuickBooks. Caused me a lot of trouble multiple times last year.
I appreciate the ease of use, the outstanding customer service, and the price point is great.
I was very upset Patriot neglected to file correctly, causing me to incur penalties and interest, and then they had the audacity to blame me for the error.
Implementation team is great, very responsive. Very excited about the employee self-service components.
Job history has been really hard to accurately track. Tracking applicants in multiple reqs has also been hard.
It is cleaner than 4 and it is more intuitive. The upgrade went smoothly thanks to the help of PDS Team.
The position structure is very cumbersome and difficult to update.
If you like personalized service and a team who genuinely cares about their customers you should definitely consider use of this product.
Also when using the timesheet to add deduction or fringe adjustments that apply only for the specific pay period it doesn't stay on the same tab when changing employees.
Overall we have been happy with the Vista 7 upgrade. I look forward to seeing what the payroll change will bring.
The applicant tracking system and the candidate drop off that we have.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
