"HR Coordinator"

Overall: My experience has been great. I loved being part of the installation, team was helpful. Really looking forward to the HRIS and seeing what it can do for us

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff User Friendly Once you figure out where to look for item, reports are simple Running payroll is a dream, generate and cancel cheques as needed. Closing payroll is simple and easy

Cons: What our employees complain about most is their vacation and flex hours do not decrease as soon as a request is approved by supervisors - if people do not do the math under requests they tend to over book. They do not want to keep track of it.

Reasons for Switching to PGi: no one liked it, payroll was manual and 3rd party

"Payroll automation works "

Overall: Overall, PGi helps employees enter their time and process payroll more easily. Employees can access their T4s and paystubs, which they can retrieve at their convenience, saving time for payroll administrators to focus on analyzing time card data. There are various reports available to pull different types of data for budgeting payroll expenses and comparing expenses from one period to another.

Pros: -Customer services is exceptional -Great team of people who understand your needs and work through them to meet your organizational needs -Regular updates to enhance users' experience -Canadian company understands Canadian payroll needs better -Quick response for things that can't wait given payroll timing. -Humble, patient and good listeners

Cons: -Every time there is a system upgrade, some employees lose access to timecard entry temporarily, and system processing takes longer. -It will be great to have an email with the details of what are upgrades and what impacts those upgrades have on existing data -The vacation logs should be locked for the past days and should not change with a change in an employee's hours retroactively.
