Pros I have 1 part-time employee and process 2 payrolls/month. The payroll processing fees charged by my previous company had increased by a factor of 3 after my first year with them, so I began to look for alternatives. Patriot Software has chat support online M-F and I began asking questions about their services. I was immediately impressed with the quality of their support: all questions (and I asked a lot) were answered immediately, courteously, and correctly. So, I decided to start working with Patriot. The cost of payroll processing was about 25% of my previous service and the service itself is excellent. Setup takes some time and effort, but, again, any time I had a question it was immediately answered. Cons I can't think of anything. I have been working with them for 2 months and I seriously have nothing but praise for their whole payroll operation.

We have been very happy with the customer support and have been thankful we made the choice to use Patriot over the other major competitors in the industry. The money we are saving can be used to further our mission.

Pros The support has been fantastic! Whenever I have a question, they patiently walk me through it step by step. Cons I’ve always outsourced payroll, but when I discovered Patriot and realized my provider was already using their service, I decided to take it over myself. There was a small learning curve in navigating the site and ensuring everything was entered correctly, but I’ve now completed our W-2 from last year and two months of payroll. Honestly, it takes me the same amount of time—if not less—than emailing the payroll company with all the numbers, and I’m saving about $100 a month in the process!

Pros Patriot Payroll is easy to use and I manage only salaried employees without overtime and we pay semi monthly for an employee and monthly for another. I set both employees up once a month and everything else is taken care of. Cons I would like a reminder to set up payroll. I have missed setting up a payroll once by accident. Some type of reminder system would be helpful.

Great companies start with great employees and leaders that want to empower their employees to become great. Cons Nothing. OK, well, sometimes, as a business, I need help but companies in general don't help the way that I need help. I'd love Patriot to be a financial sponsor, anywhere from $50, $75, $500, or even in 2025, $750, or maybe you can give $25,000 or more to help PFF help non profits, maybe in Ohio.

Owner Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Payroll Made Easy" July 4, 2024 5.0 Overall, I am very happy with Patriot Softwsre and the cost is reasonable and fair for the service provided. Further, it can be a significant saving for a small business owner who normally relegates the responsibility to a bookkeeper or CPA. Pros It is generally simple to use once a standard routeen is established. Coming from a system where I calculated it manually and did my own 941, 940, and state reporting, it was a godsend. I also very much appreciate the support when i did have problems in the past. Very responsive and when by phone, not in broken English. Cons Setting up employee advances and repayments is not easy and often is incorrect. It makes helping employees more difficult and has resulted in overdeductions and underdeductions.

Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great, Affordable, and easy to use online payroll services" July 24, 2024 5.0 Have just had a great experience overall. Pros I like the ease of completing payroll on a weekly basis. They take care of all the direct deposit funds and tax compliance items that I do not have to worry about. They also have an on-line portal for the employees to view their W-4's and get their W-2's at the end of the year. Cons They have taken care of most of the Cons by continuously updating payroll functionality. For example, if i had to make an hourly rate change (raise), and had started payroll already, I would have to cancel the payroll to make a change and start over. Now, this can be done right from the payroll page by clicking on their name and the adjustment is saved without affecting the payroll I am working on. Review Source RB Rebecca B.

Review Source MS Marshall S. Treasurer Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Happy Ohio payroll customer" November 5, 2024 5.0 Pros It is very easy to set up and saves a good deal of time over running payroll manually. When combined with Patriot's accounting software, journal entries are automatically made based on payroll entries. The price is also relatively affordable and is great for businesses in Ohio in particular as the software can process federal, state, and local taxes on your behalf. Cons When combined with Patriot Accounting, the payroll journal entries are automatic but do not always match the exact dates that cash is withdrawn from the bank account.
