Pros Good app that's accessible by employees; but really impressed at the end of the day by the customer service from the operations and payroll managers (Thanks \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]!)

We are so happy with their service. I couldn't speak more highly of their support team, any of our payroll instructions are quickly, professionally and patiently resolved. It really has revolutionised how we do our payroll. One of the best decisions we’ve made as a growing company! Keep doing what you do best! Pros The product is extremely easy to use from both an admin and employee perspective. Any questions or queries are picked up and assisted with straight away. Val is an amazing help, but the whole team have been fantastic with any questions that we've thrown at them (and we throw a lot of questions).

The team at PayCaptain are as good as the product. Pros For me, it is the ease of use. I love how PayCaptain takes all of the complication away from managing our payroll. Be in no doubt, PayCaptain makes light work of handling all the complexities of payroll. The app interface is modern, simple and engaging. Cons I'm honestly struggling to come up with anything I don't like about the software. I think an early problem for me was that it wasn't easy to download 'paper' payslips in PDF format but I understand that is all possible now.

The transition was so smooth and every employee felt confident with the app and additional benefits they will now receive (advance pay, donation options etc). Paycaptain catered to all our needs and more and is such a relief to have our payroll with them. Pros The app is very easy to use for me as the administrator and as an employee user. I can ask questions or change information quickly and easily. Added benefits are being used by our employees and these were benefits we didn’t offer before so PayCaptain has allowed us to improve our employee experience Cons Sometimes employees wouldn’t use the app so would be good to have email notifications of new payslips. Switched from [Sage 50cloud Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/233316/Sage-50cloud-Payroll/) We wanted to now outsource our payroll and paycaptain had much more benefits for our employees. They also share similar ethics and values Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Response from Vendor April 1, 2022 Thank you Rose - I really appreciate you taking the time to do this review for us.
