### "Which one is so awesome!"

March 25, 2026

5.0

As the owner of a fairly young business, I find my way fumbling through things such as payroll. Wagepoint is always there for me with quick responses and graceful guidance It’s streamline so many hard to understand things such as proper applied taxes, and deductions to employees paycheques With automation and emails that keep the entire thing turning with very little effort I recommend it to any Business Owner with employees

Pros

The nature in which things are taken care of automatically without the need of in-depth knowledge on accounting skills

Cons

When systems become glitchy, there’s not much you can do about it Although this is a rare occurrence, and I find the system pretty reliable and seamless

### "Very positive experience and appreciation of human communication"

June 5, 2025

5.0

My experience with Wagepoint is very positive. I have only good things to say about that platform and especially about their team.

Pros

I like that there is a human communication any time I need help. I like that they make it easy to reach out any time I have a question. The program itself works well for my needs and needs of my clients.

Cons

Perhaps I would like to have a bit more reports. It is bit convoluted to have off schedule pay or irregular pay but not too bad.

### "Great for small business, but there is an issue in QC"

May 4, 2026

3.0

In the beginning, it was great, no issues. This past experience with incorrect T4s, which cascaded into audits and fines with interest was very upsetting and a deal breaker. We count on Wagepoint to correctly submit to CRA every time and unfortunately this was not the case. Wagepoint did reimburse for accounting fees related to the issue.

Pros

Ease of submission of source deductions Nice portal for employees Email support is great Very easy to learn to use

Cons

2025 year end was a nightmare. Incorrect T4s, incorrect source deductions submitted to CRA causing audits and fines with interest.

Hi Leanne — thank you for the kind words about our team, and for being candid about what went wrong at year-end. We've amended the T4s and covered the related accounting fees, and have taken steps on our end to prevent this from happening again. If anything still looks off, please reach out at support@wagepoint.com and we'll take a look with you.

### "The best Payroll software so far"

December 19, 2024

5.0

In general, we like Wagepoint. We came after using ADP and QB and found out it is better and user-friendly, with easily accessible help

Pros

User-friendly, fits most of our requirements, cheaper than for example QB, and a very good Help service. Opportunity to create and edit ROE, sending it to Service Canada over Wagepoint. T4/T4A . I like reports - very clear info and easy to find.

Cons

We still should do manual entry of HST for contractors, variable dues that are calculated as a rate per hour (not per dollar earned). Also, T4/T4A should have all boxes available for use Would be good if Wagepoint showed warnings if w submit T4/T4A without SIN or HST

It was ADP- I don't know which one out of variants you offer for response. ADP Reports were difficult to see numbers, many things we couldn't enter, ROE with errors because of specific construction payroll and no opportunity to edit - always call, but also it was difficult to reach the team for help. It was 2020, maybe they improved now.

July 3, 2021

5.0

It is very helpful with all payroll responsibilities and saves time.

Pros

I love the user friendly layout and ability to use this anywhere I am. And the customer service is wonderful! They are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and any problems are handled very quickly.

Cons

We have the odd challenge with any changes to the software made by Wagepoint connecting with our QBO software. But these are quickly addressed.

Good experience, would recommend. The ease of Autorun is a game changer for payroll.

Pros

Ease of use. Customer service through email is prompt and a solution is found.

Cons

Upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0. There was an unexpected task for signing authority to take. There were a few bugs to work out for T4 filing. Having said that, Wagepoint communicated with customers and answered my emails in a timely manner.

### "Wagepoint Payroll Service"

December 8, 2025

5.0

Wagepoint has simplified all things payroll related. We have saved time and money (from costly mistakes we've made in the past). Well worth the money!

Pros

Wagepoint calculates and remits payroll deductions automatically, making payroll processing a breeze. It also generates and submits Records of employment and T4s which is a huge time saver!

Cons

If I am being picky, the one thing I don't like is the customer support process. When you call in you give the details of your issue and then someone has to call you back. Which isn't always convenient. Having said that, all of my issues still have been resolved in a timely matter.

### "Wage point - works well for small business with 6-7 meployees"

March 6, 2026

5.0

I log in, I punch the hours, and send the payroll. Simple and easy. When I mess up, I ask support and they either fix it or explain to me how to fix it.

Pros

It does what it supposed to and the support is always within 24 hrs, always complete answers and always helpful. I'm a small business with 6-7 employees

Cons

I do not have a frame of reference, because it is the only software I used for this and it was set up by my accountant. I am also entry level user and it just works for me.

Pros

I would like to express my full satisfaction with the support I received during the upgrade of our payroll account. The assistance provided was clear, professional, and very helpful throughout the entire process. The team responded promptly to our questions, guided us through the necessary steps, and ensured that everything was completed smoothly. Thank you for the excellent service and support.

Cons

The time it takes to get contacted for support at sometimes. Lack of flexibility with reports, and customization.

I have been using Wagepoint for nearly two years and the system has been reliable, straightforward and any time I've needed support it has been a great experience. It seems Wagepoint knows how to give their staff members the training and tools they need to be successful. Keep up the good work, Wagepoint!

Pros

The system easily links to QBO and makes running payroll a much more efficient process. Support staff is amazing!

Cons

### "Wagepoint to the rescue"

January 24, 2020

5.0

Great customer service and easy use of product.

Pros

As an accounting firm that processes payroll for many clients, it's nice to have a payroll software that is easy to use. Our clients love the online portal and we love that employees can update their own personal information. Wagepoint support is great, and helps us with the set-ups that are less straight forward. Thanks to Wagepoint year ends are a breeze.

Cons

Reporting, I wish list would be that when I find a report that I like that there would be a way to bookmark the report. Also better reporting that shows the remittances made to Quebec and Federal. Right now this all in on report. Also an approval process, so that once I have submitted payroll, that there was a final approval process by the client.

Reason for choosing Wagepoint

we were already familiar with Wagepoint, and we wanted to standardize a process throughout our clients.

### "Best Payroll processor for Canadian integrated SME"

March 25, 2022

4.0

Easy to setup, easy to use (if integrated and hell if you're manually entering payroll data).

Pros

Takes care of all fiscal matters, ROE, and integrates with Collage & Quickbooks Online.

Cons

Importing data is ridiculously badly implemented. Logic around hours worked should be improved (defaults to expected work week - holiday or vacation hours). Obscure vacation hour impact leading to potential double pay if not careful. Absolutely requires holding a payroll auxiliary to sanity check Wagepoint.

### "Review of Wagepoint"

July 14, 2025

3.0

It was generally okay, i got all my pay details and I could assess my paystub without having to login into my work email.

Pros

I was able to get email notifications about my paycheck sent to my personal email rather than work email so I could assess my paystubs from anywhere.

Cons

They sent paystub details pretty late, almost a whole day after my pay had been deposited, which was annoying because I relied on my notifications to let me know when I am paid.

I am happy with this software so far. And I like easily and quickly reachable support when I need them.

Pros

I like the clear layout of all functions, including reports. after ADP - it is a relief to use reports here. Flexible in different payment options

Cons

I'd like the software to add functions: to calculate Union dues automatically based on hours worked (not on the amount of earnings). to calculate HST automatically for contractors To add the option "Vacation" paid to Contractors. Unionized contractors have 10% VacPay - I add it manually every week, together with Unions dues and HST

I can rely on Wagepoint to be able to process payroll efficiently and accurately on a daily basis. If I need help, the support team is there to answer any of my questions and or solve anything that is out of the ordinary.

Pros

We are a mid-size accounting and bookkeeping firm and payroll is a large part of our services for both Canadian and US payroll. Wagepoint is the most efficient, easy to use, cost-effective and accurate payroll service on the market. The reporting is great and the support team is fantastic! I never have to worry about payroll processing. Our clients love that the employees have their own log on to retrieve paystubs and annual T-slips and W-2 slips. Overall - best quality payroll service out there!

Cons

None so far and I have used this service over 3 years!

Pros

We are a not-for-profit and do not have a wide selection of business professions who have expertise in the various small business departments such as payroll or HR. Wagepoint and their support staff feel like they are those professionals we need and provide outstanding support and service to us.

Cons

While there are a number of canned reports available to use (for no additional charge), I would like to see more of these reports made available.
