April 29, 2018 5.0 Pros It pays the payroll taxes for me and submits the paper work figures out what is owed.

Pros I love how easy it is to use for my company's payroll needs. We have both bi-weekly and monthly payrolls. Also, we give quarterly bonuses and this product has handled implementing that task very well.

Owner Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "You get what you pay for." January 14, 2021 1.0 It wasn't good, we ended up cancelling and moving to intuit online payroll. We simply could not put up with patriot and their ridiculous lead time and bad service. Pros At the time my client liked the affordability of the software. Costs for self service payroll is very affordable which is great for small business. There isn't anything to like about this platform outside of that, however. Cons 4 day lead time for direct deposit. This isn't reasonable for most clients and it's almost impossible to adhere to. There are times especially around holidays where clients will have to guess hours for their employees because payroll for direct deposit will be due before the payroll period ends. Patriots way around this is to deposit money into a trust fund beforehand but that makes no sense for small business who simply don't have the cash flow. Their customer service was rude to us and they are not very helpful. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/174981/QuickBooks/) Review Source TS Trichelle S.

Pros I am not tech savvy but I didn't want to pay someone else to do payroll for me for only 5 employees. My CPA wanted to charge me several hundred dollars a month to do payroll. I am glad I had sense enough to try Patriot Payroll. Patriot makes payroll simple and I haven't had any problems using the software. Cons I could not edit W-2 forms on my own and had to call customer service. Review Source DJ Dominique J.
