October 31, 2026 5.0 My overall experience is top notch, and I would not consider looking elsewhere for a payroll company Pros The way that the payroll product is specialized to the construction industry makes everything payroll related a breeze. Cons Sometimes it takes a while to get a call back when you log a call to get help with an issue that you might have. Review Source R Reviewer Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Add P4C to your company's programs! " October 30, 2026 4.0 They've been supportive, responsive, and an excellent partner with our Foundation Software so we only have to maintain payroll one place and it flows directly to our General Ledger. Pros It ties directly into our Foundation accounting software so records, reports, submissions all flow together. They are great to work with, answer questions, help me understand things, etc. They're great with prevailing wage public works jobs too! Cons I have to learn "how" to ask my question sometimes to get to the correct issue I need help with, but that pushes me to keep learning. Review Source R Reviewer Office Operations Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A Good Payroll System for Construction" October 23, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been good. It has the tools we need to manage payroll and employee pay information. Once you become familiar with the system, it gets easier to use. Pros I like that Payroll4Construction is designed for the construction industry and integrates with Foundation. It helps keep payroll information organized and has the features we need to handle construction payroll. Cons There is a learning curve, especially when it comes to some of the less common payroll tasks. However customer support is great. Like any software, there are things that take time to learn. Review Source R Reviewer Office Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Review for P4C" October 22, 2026 4.0 Overall experience has been good. Almost everyone that I have talked to is friendly and wants to help. Pros Usually when I get a call back whomever I am talking to can fix my problem. And if they cannot figure it out right then, they will figure it out and call me back. Cons It seems to take a while to get a call back. Usually, it is the next day. I then have to stop what I am doing and wait till the next day. If they do call back that day it is usually after I leave for the day. Review Source R Reviewer admin Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "I am SOOO glad I found P4C!" October 14, 2026 5.0 Our experience with P4C has changed my stress 1000% from how I had to do payroll before. It is a hefty learning curve but they are absolutely there for you! Pros Communication is impeccable! Whoever calls back when we put a ticket in is knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Cons \-There should be a way to delete or not show columns and sections not applicable to you, for instance some are only valid if you operate in a certain state, etc. It would clean up a lot and you could find the application you need easier if you could make those not show up. -It times out way too quickly if you have to jump to something else and go back. Then have to start the login process all over. Review Source R Reviewer Operations lead Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great customer service " October 14, 2026 5.0 It’s fine, if you are doing payroll in house. There’s a little learning curve but again the help desk makes up for that. I like that they work great with being a union shop. Pros The support, help desk. Its so easy to open a support ticket and connect with a team member. The screen share is very helpful. Cons I wish there was a clock in system to log hours. We currently have to have two systems to manage employees hours. Review Source R Reviewer CONTROLLER Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "PREVAILING WAGE" October 12, 2026 3.0 Pros Ease of use to send payroll to process and the quick turnaround time for payroll to come back to post. Cons Not being able to compute prevailing wage fringe/deductions properly with specific scenario for 401k match. Review Source R Reviewer CFO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Chief Financial Officer" October 9, 2026 5.0 Overall it has been very good. There customer service has been great and quick. The integration was easy and flawless. Pros The integration with Foundation. If you have used other system it is very similar and easy to use. Our implementation team was great! Cons Some functionality you have to pay extra for. I would like for more to be included in the base price. Review Source R Reviewer CFO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "P4C for Me" October 9, 2026 5.0 Positive - the program requires extensive accurate, but provides accurate reports with all the correct setups. Pros Ability to handle multiple union reporting accurately, as well as complex state and local Philadelphia taxes. Cons Rigid timeline for submitting payroll by 2:30 pm two days prior to check date for direct deposits. Prior provider had 1-day turnaround. Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "P4C is Highly Recommended" October 1, 2026 5.0 I have been working with P4C for 4 years and my over all experience has been very good. I feel their support is there when I need. Of course correcting a payroll is never any fun but it happens, the team at P4C has always been gracious when I call and ask "help me remember again"- thank you P4C! Pros P4C makes processing payroll very easy, especially when it comes to filing the required payroll taxes, they handle all of it. They also handle any payroll garnishments. Cons I honestly don't have any that I like least. Payroll is a process and P4C makes this process easy and streamlined Review Source R Reviewer Office Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Simplified Payroll!" July 29, 2026 5.0 We transitioned from using a PEO to Payroll4Construction and they helped ensure that everything was set up in advance. Excellent customer service in every interaction! Pros I like that I only have to enter hours once and can submit directly from Foundation to Payroll4Construction. Also, knowing that tax deposits are made timely is big help. Cons Until I understood how sequencing worked, I was confused. Once they explained how P4C knows where to pull information from it all made sense! Review Source R Reviewer Executive Admin Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Payroll 4 Construction has been a great tool for Claystone Construction, Inc." August 4, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Payroll4Construction was positive. The software handled the complex payroll requirements of the construction industry well, including certified payroll, job costing, union payroll, and compliance reporting. It helped streamline payroll processing and improved accuracy. While the system was reliable and met our payroll needs, the user interface could be more intuitive, and some reporting and navigation features could be more flexible and efficient. Overall, it was a dependable solution for construction payroll, and with continued improvements to usability and reporting, it would provide an even better user experience. Pros What I liked most about Payroll4Construction was its construction-specific payroll capabilities. It simplified certified payroll, job costing, union payroll, and multi-state payroll processing. The system helped streamline payroll administration while providing the reporting needed for compliance and project tracking. Cons At times, resolving issues required contacting support, and some requests took longer than expected to be addressed. Review Source R Reviewer Payroll Coordinator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Review from a Payroll Perspective" June 17, 2026 3.0 Overall, it has been good. It has simplified our payroll process quite a bit, and it is nice having easy access to support, which we didn't always have with past providers. Pros I like that P4C handles the taxes for us, as those can be pretty confusing. I appreciate how quickly support gets back to us when we have an urgent issue. I do appreciate supports checks once we submit payroll - there have been a few times they caught some errors for me. I love the employee wage detail report, as well as the timecard history. Those reports have help me tremendously with reporting I have to do. Cons Sometimes it feels like the answers from support can be not a full effort response. We ran into quite a few problems with our fringe, and had to talk to multiple support people to finally get it figured out. I would like more opportunities for custom reporting, although that is more on the accounting side, payroll reports are pretty good. I was VERY disappointed with our support when we first launched - a ton of stuff was set up incorrectly that we didn't realize until way down the road.

The on boarding and training process was smooth and well-organized — their implementation team walked us through every step, from setting up our company profile to configuring job costing and certified payroll reporting, so we felt confident using the system before we ever ran payroll on our own. They were patient with our questions and made sure our staff actually understood the "why" behind each step, not just the clicks, which made a huge difference once we were on our own. Since going live, the platform itself has been intuitive and reliable, and any time we've needed help, their customer support has consistently gone above and beyond. The support team is knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly understands the construction industry inside and out — they don't just read from a script. Whether it's a quick question or something more involved, they treat every call like it matters. From the initial training all the way through our day-to-day use, Payroll4Construction has made what used to be one of our biggest administrative headaches feel manageable. It's rare to find a company that delivers this well on both the product and the people behind it. Highly recommend to any contractor looking for payroll software that's actually built with the construction industry in mind. Pros No problem — here's a revised version without the multi-state reference: --- Switching to Payroll4Construction has been one of the best decisions we've made for our back office. As a construction company, payroll used to be a headache between certified payroll reports, prevailing wage requirements, and job costing — but this platform handles all of it seamlessly. The interface is intuitive enough that even our office staff who aren't tech-savvy picked it up right away, and running payroll now takes a fraction of the time it used to. What really sets them apart, though, is the customer service. Every time we've called with a question — whether it's about a certified payroll report or just a general how-to — their support team has been fast, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable. It's clear they understand the construction industry, not just payroll in general, which makes a huge difference. We never feel like just another ticket number. If you're a contractor tired of wrestling with payroll software that wasn't built for your industry, do yourself a favor and switch. Payroll4Construction combines an easy-to-use system with a support team that actually has your back. Cons I've been really happy with Payroll4Construction overall — the platform is easy to use and their customer service has been fantastic every time we've needed help. If I had to point to one drawback, though, it would be the time difference. We're based in California, and since their team operates on Eastern time, that only leaves us a small window in the afternoon to reach someone before they close for the day. On days when an issue comes up later in our schedule, we sometimes have to wait until the following morning for a callback, which can slow things down if it's something time-sensitive like a same-day payroll run. It's a minor inconvenience compared to everything they do well, but it's worth mentioning for other West Coast contractors so they know to plan around it. Once we adjusted our workflow to reach out earlier in the day, it stopped being an issue at all. Review Source R Reviewer IT Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Using it for years " September 1, 2026 5.0 We like using it, the interface can be a little confusing to new commers, and some of the integration with other online app can be limited Pros accounting and reporting can be very detailed, good value for the money if have on-prem solution with many users Cons Cost codes transfer is very time consuming and creating an import process would be very helpful for a bulk transfers Review Source R Reviewer Project Executive Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Efficient Review" September 24, 2026 5.0 Very good. Sometimes I wish you didn't have to wait for a call back but whenever we say its urgent the return call usually comes quickly. Pros Ease of use. Works well along side HCSS. Very easy to enter hours and make corrections. I like the accrual time. Cons I wish some of the reports were more detailed. I wish you could run a weekly report per employee with all the info per week in one line. Also I wish you could make changes to one guy at a time when entering time cards. When you have a lot of guys its hard to find them by employee number to make changes Review Source R Reviewer Accounting Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "P4C has my back!" October 1, 2026 4.0 Overall, I like and trust P4C to handle our payroll needs. Access to a live support person in a timely manner is everything! Pros P4C is largely a once and done system once everything is set up properly. I really love that. Also, the support folks really know the system well. It's comforting to know that a knowledgeable support person is always available to jump in and help. Cons I have had several instances with the tax department that makes me dread dealing with them. Long waits (even weeks!) for email responses and the need for 2nd and 3rd requests have been common. Review Source R Reviewer pAYROLL ADMIN Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great so far.." September 23, 2026 5.0 It looks intimidating, but a lot easier once you get used to the system. Overall, its great once you get used to it. Pros The customer service is always so helpful. You can called leave a ticket, and they will fixed anything. Cons It can shut down on you, could be slow, but it's always fixable. I wish it was alot easier to look up information. Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Payroll4Construction our indispensable employee!" March 6, 2026 5.0 My experience with P4C has been great! When we initially began we were using QuickBooks and it was amazing how our trainer/coordinator handled the account numbers and workers comp codes in QuickBooks. The main reason we we changed our accounting system over to Foundation was because of the professionalism and positive experience with P4C. Payroll4Construction does a much better job of performing payroll than we ever thought of doing and has improved our overall productivity by allowing us to do what we do well. Pros For almost 1/10th of the cost of a payroll clerk, our payroll is processed weekly and direct deposited in our employees accounts. Weekly 941 deposits and quarterly UTC6 reports are completed without a single late payment--that seemed to plague our in house system. The accuracy is incredible and job costing is effortless. Cons First Con turned Pro: Recording time cards into the P4C systems, seemed redundant, time consuming, and left room for error. We are working with WorkMax and now upload reviewed and approved time cards automatically into P4C in seconds. Second Con: We rely heavily on direct deposit and on the rare occasions we have to print a local check we always have to have help. Too much time in between occasions a real check is required has kept us from performing this task with confidence. However, we always receive help quickly when needed. Review Source R Reviewer CFO Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Integrated payroll a must with Foundation" February 20, 2026 5.0 After the initial setup and training there is a lot of system logic that expedites the payroll process. Also, the direct tie into foundation allows us to solve some of the nuances with certified payroll. Pros As a completely imbedded tool that ties directly to foundation, we can effectively and efficiently process payroll. With employee information flowing seamlessly it eliminates multiple steps that would have to be taken if we were using a third-party provider or a payroll add-on. Cons System works fantastically; we would like to see exported data that could be built into KPI's anti into power BI for us to extrapolate better reporting packages to support the organization. Review Source R Reviewer Executive Administrator Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Best purchase I have made so far. " February 25, 2026 5.0 My company moved to them almost a year ago and it was the smartest move we made, we searched them out due to their knowledge with Unions and we just signed with 3 different unions. They have made my job run smoother. Pros The customer support is phenomenal. I relied on them quite a bit in the beginning, and they always provide confident, patient guidance. If I didn’t understand something, they stayed on the phone until I fully understood and felt confident handling it myself. Cons The software does have a bit of a learning curve, but the trainer who helped me, \[sensitive content hidden\] is incredibly patient and kind—you never feel rushed. Review Source R Reviewer Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Happy Customer!" July 29, 2026 5.0 It has been a great experience using the Foundation product with the P4C support. We saved money making the switch from Paychex and we have a more in-depth accounting system and can track areas in our business much better. Pros I really like how easy it is to reach someone if I need any help! I am able to make a call directly or log a call from system or send an email to specific department. Cons I really like that I receive a phone call when I need help, but I would prefer a email response and then maybe a follow up call if necessary. Also, because I like to have resolve documented in case i run into it again or if someone else needs the info as well. Review Source R Reviewer Asst Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Recommend!" February 25, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been great with P4C and I would recommend them to anyone looking to streamline their internal procedures with one system. Pros Payroll 4 Construction is very user-intuitive, has outstanding customer support with rapid turnaround times, and is a great value for the money. They are always improving system functionality and product offerings. Cons Sometimes the tax department gets back logged and response times can be longer than normal. I would also recommend longer session times before user gets logged out. Review Source R Reviewer Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Very Happy" January 7, 2026 5.0 Always helpful and understanding and no matter the question they have a solution. Great Team for sure. Pros I love my team they are always very helpful and understanding. They always call with a great attitude. Cons At first it was the corrections but now we have mastered that. They worked with me more than they should have . Review Source R Reviewer Payroll Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "7.5/10 Overall" January 14, 2026 3.0 It is much easier than using ADP for the employees but for management and HR it isn't as easy when it comes to reporting. Pros I like the integration with Eaccess and the timecard it is very user friendly. For how much we pay I do think it is a good value. Cons It takes a while to get into contact with someone especially on payroll days. Also, there aren't as many HR features as I would like.
