    Overall, the experience has been super positive. As I referred to above, the platform is easy to use, navigate, and train our staff on which is very appreciated in our busy industry!

    Pros

    We really like how easy data input is, as well as the user experience for our staff. Logging timesheets and requesting time off has never been easier!

    Cons

    Everything is great on the platform! We haven’t had any issues

    We had a hard time getting the initial training. Then, when we needed assistance it was difficult to get hold of someone. And when we did get hold of them, they weren't very helpful.

    Pros

    At least it's a computer system. It's better than doing it by hand and a calculator.

    Cons

    It's been very difficult to get help and training on it. As well as the fact that there's only limited characters in the notes section. We often needed more.

    Affordable Payroll / HR / workforce Solution but don't expect much beyond that

    Reviewed on 29/07/2023

    Been using payworks for a long time, it is a simple tool for payroll, time off, vacation management and if you add the other components to it, it will still works but it's just not very fully integrated compare to ripping or other total HRIS / Payroll solutions on the market. Security would be a concern as it doesn't seem like the company or the product is fully innovative OR secure compare to a Deel OR Namely if you compare it to other competitors on the market. Looking at the history of the company, it's been around for a long time so it's not a startup and will probably not have new features release down the road.

    Pros

    It's a fully integrated Payroll/HR / Workforce management tool for smb/corporate or book keepers or accountants. It also has other HRIS / or ATS add ons as well as it tries to be jack of all trades.

    Cons

    I think Payroll should stick to being a Payroll process provider and beyond that the other add ons are like any other tool on the market like Bamboo OR Workable OR Rippling but it's not written the software in a very sophisticated way that you feel that they are an expert in other fields beyond just running payrolls.

    Payworks is a dependable solution for payroll and basic HR management. It’s easy to navigate and well-supported, making it a solid choice for businesses, though enhanced reporting features would be a welcome improvement.

    Pros

    Payworks makes payroll processing simple and efficient. The platform is user-friendly, with great customer support and seamless integration with HR tools.

    Cons

    Some reporting features could be more detailed, and customization options are somewhat limited compared to other platforms.
