The support is excellent. The phone is always answered by an individual and a support person is available usually right away. This is unheard of today but very much appreciated!

Pros

I am happy that Centerpoint interfaces with my timeclock. I work at a Long Term Care facility and the employees work around the clock. Centerpoint is able to accept the upload from the timeclock and properly apply the shift and weekend differentials we have in place

Cons

I continue to have difficulties with the PTO not calculating correctly. I have called 3 different times and got different answers each time.

I like the wide variety of reports, however wish the set up was more user friendly.

Pros

The ease of W-2 filing .

Cons

Need better PTO tracking reports. Customer support should listen more carefully and not assume user error. The font of the screen views needs to be larger or at least be adjustable.

Amazing.

Pros

It has extensive features and amazing customer support.

Cons

It's a behemoth. We don't use a lot of the features in it, and it's daunting to search through the user manual to find something I want to look into more.

Very happy with the program.

Pros

Ease of use, once the setup procedures are finished.

Cons

When you are creating a new payroll where you choose the dates - I really think "THIS FRIDAY" should be a choice as almost all of my, and I assume most user's, need that as the pay date. That way every payroll it will come up to that instead of having to change the date every single time.

I have found CenterPoint Payroll a very good solution for easily producing payrolls and tracking the information we want to see in our business.

Pros

CenterPoint Payroll allows me to pay my employees, keep track of specific information about fields worked in, equipment used, department tracking, etc. It stays current with tax changes and allows deductions and has a variety of reports to mine information for tax reporting and payments and business analysis.

Cons

Unless I've missed it, I can't change the order the checks print in.

Easy for me to say it is easy now. I know I struggled a bit at the start but Redwing support was great and now that I have the hang of it it is a breeze. By far the best part of Center Point Payroll is the redwing support system.

Pros

The expert support I can get at any time I run into a snag.

Cons

Cannot hold my WC codes to the earnings codes so have to enter that each time

We have used Red Wing software since 2000 and have been very satisfied. At the end of 2011 we upgraded from Red Wing Payroll system to Center Point Payroll. We had tremendous support from Red Wing Technical Support for the transition. We had an update where our Pay Run would not run and our Pay Date was the next day. Red Wing support stayed with us until after hours to get the Pay Run up and running. We are in Agriculture so we track a lot of items that normal payroll systems can't track. Red Wing support helped us expand with their software that are largest payroll last year of 750 employee's processed quickly.

We purchased Centerpoint only for the emailed pay vouchers. This the only good feature, otherwise, I would have stayed with the RedWing version. It's hard to find reports and difficult to create one based upon your needs. We are paid weekly which I know maybe odd now days, but that was not an option, so I had to make adjustments to each salaried person every time there is 53 pay periods in a year. If it wasn't for technical support, I would not have made it through. I can not in good conscience recommend this product.
