It is the easiest to use (no training required) and most efficient cloud app we have ever come across in our 25 years in business. we had Sage Payroll before for 15 years and it was absolute junk and pain, month after month, update after update. Customer Support rarely needed but great team, very fast to answer. Now integrated new 2024 Revenue ERR requirements. I would recommend to anyone doing payroll in Ireland Cons I saw a review saying that it may be a bit light for some complex payroll needs? We have 16 staff and never had an issue in 10 years Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/174981/QuickBooks/)[Square Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/170266/Square-Payroll/) Reason for choosing SimplePay Interface is the most intuitive of all. Switched from [Sage Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/215768/Sage-Business-Cloud-Payroll/) Sage is a nightmare to operate. Terrible customer service. This is an old dinosaure company and I am so glad smaller providers stepped up Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SimplePay for Web Developers" November 23, 2023 3.0 Pros The initial setup process is very quick and easy.

If you have any issue this is where you will spend far too much time trying to solve them. Pros Very simple payroll software to use, allows for direct deposit and flexibility to make easy changes.

Pros The interface is simple, straight forward and user-friendly. This goes the same for a lot of the other functions (ie. setting up employees, etc.). Pulling out reports is also pretty easy to use. Cons Some of the features are still relatively manual which can be difficult to scale up if your organization is growing quickly.
