They have been wonderful and the system is so easy to use. I can navigate quickly. Payroll used to take 2 hours for my 17 employees, now I am done in 30 minutes and that includes putting their check stubs in envelopes! Pros The customer service is the best. Very informative, nice and patient. Cons I know it was out of Patriots control but the worst thing that has happened was when the direct deposit failed and our employees did not get their pay. I wish there was a feature to choose the bank you want the direct deposits to go through. Reason for choosing Patriot Software they basically do them for you! EASY! Review Source ST Susan T. Owner Alternative Medicine Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Patriot Payroll is a must!" July 29, 2024 5.0 As a small business owner, who handles the onboarding and payroll of employees, Patriot Payroll has made this transition so seamless and my decreased a lot of stress. Pros I Have been in business for over 20 years and wished I would have switched to Patriot payroll much sooner!

Alternatives considered [Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/) Reason for choosing Patriot Software My husband heard an ad on the radio and he suggested I try it. Switched from [RUN Powered by ADP](https://www.capterra.com/p/185859/RUN/) The customer support was terrible and they didn't help if there was a problem. Review Source MH Mary H. Owner Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Patriot Software" July 23, 2024 5.0 Good. It's easy to get a customer service rep. I did have a pretty massive issue wherein I was told that entering hours could either be in HH:MM or Decimal format. That was wrong. It has to be in Decimal. Your staff needs to be 100% trained for critical issues like that. Pros It is easy to on-board a new employee, and it's easy to run payroll. Phone support is a huge plus. Chat isn't good for big issues. Cons When I need a report, it's not straightforward. I always have to ask for assistance. The report names are vague, and there's too many drop-downs. It doesn't make sense. Also, I really wish I would get an email notification when it's my employees' birthday or work anniversary. Reason for choosing Patriot Software You came recommended from my accountant. Switched from [Wagepoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/138169/Wagepoint/) They are a Canadian company, and discontinued US based operations. Review Source JN Joseph N. 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 LJ Lewis J. Caretaker Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy and simple " October 11, 2024 4.0 Easy, quick, cheap and great to access your payroll Pros Very easy to access payroll, a lot easier than other companies Cons The app was a bit slow at times but like other apps could be computer issue Review Source BM Brandon M. Payroll Supervisor Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Patriot Payroll makes my life easier." August 8, 2024 4.0 Patriot’s payroll abilities are really useful, we have never had issues with late payments, or problems having everything documented how we need. Pros It had electronic management available, and i could real time track and reports were available to me. Cons I wish there was a mobile app as well as being automated would have helped at times. Review Source MB Momo B. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "User-friendly payroll system" September 26, 2024 5.0 I am very satisfied. I also like the question of the week, as it helps me learn new things. Pros Very clear instructions for each section, and if I need help, I get it right away. Cons At the moment I'm pretty happy with the current situation. Review Source AC Andrew C. Partner Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product and even better support." September 6, 2024 5.0 So far I'm happy. I appreciate that they handle the payment of payroll taxes on my behalf. Pros The responsiveness and helpfulness of the online chat. They were actually able to help me and there was practically no wait time. Cons I needed to delete some informational payroll entries that I carried over from by prior payroll software. The entries were unable to be deleted and could only be "voided," which clogs up the history. Switched from [Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/) Wave did not pay taxes on my behalf, which is something I wanted. Review Source RH Richard H. 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. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/174981/QuickBooks/)[SurePayroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/225706/SurePayroll/) Reason for choosing Patriot Software The others were more expensive and required additional software in addition to the payroll.

September 5, 2024 5.0 From our initial call with Patriot Payroll, to date, it has been a 100% positive experience. Pros Patriot Payroll Team Members make all the difference. Quick to respond, smart, professional, and warm. Cons I can't think of anything I don't like about Patriot Payroll. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) QuickBooks was cumbersome to use, difficult to get help, and their team members often did not know how to help.
