  • Flat-fee monthly pricing ($35/mo. for monthly payroll) makes costs predictable.
  • Clean user interface provides quick efficient payroll processing.
  • Included employee self-service portal (PayView) can be configured to allow pay stub and W-2 download for all employees, as well as company-wide reporting for owners & managers.

Potential Limitations

  • Does not support after-the-fact payroll processing.
  • No online Help or knowledgebase available, although there is phone & e-mail support.
