Paystub Perfection
The staff are professional and know there stuff. Any issues I have had have been addressed extremely quickly.
PROSThis software is an absolute breeze to use. We were looking for a solution without breaking the bank or outsourcing our payroll function. InStaff provided a perfect solution that allowed us to stop printing out pay advice and upload them to the cloud for our employees to see their information on a self-serve basis. Overall, this is the exact solution we were looking for, and its easier to use that I anticipated!
CONSNothing - its exactly what we needed. Couldn't have asked for a better solution.

Going from physical to electronic
Instaff helped our company go from physical paystubs for 50+ employees to electronic upload which freed up time and allowed us to simplify things. Their support made the change seamless!
PROSInstaff is easy to use and has a very straightforward payment system. Their portal is easy to navigate and use. Their customer support was very communicative every time we contacted them.
CONSThey could provide more quality of life options like sorting things by date, etc. in their portal. There's not much to dislike for what we use Instaff for.
Reason for choosing Instaff
Ease of use, price structure, compatibility with our current system.

CONSYOU HAVE TO FILTER OUT TERMED PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE TIME. We have high turnover and every time you need to manage a user you have to filter out the termed. This is way too time consuming
Vendor Response
Hi Jennifer, we've added a feature that let's you filter out inactive employees by default. You can reach out to your account manager, or have an admin user set it (via Admin > Portal Settings). Hope this helps!

Great experience! Very responsive. Easy to implement and use
PROSHuge time saver for us with the paycheck and commission sheet uploads. We are looking forward to the W2s as well. People have really liked the time off as well.
CONSCurrently it still keeps my email address in the search box so I have to clear that out every time I need to search for an employee.
Vendor Response
Hi Lauren, we appreciate your review and feedback! The search box and email address issue has been patched, please give it a try. If you still have issues feel free to reach out support or your account manager.

Excellent product; a real time saver
Using Instaff has significantly reduced time spent issuing & filing paystubs & T4s. Historical information is stored in one place and easy to retrieve. We have experienced notable savings on time, paper, storage & filing
PROSthe software is easy to use, errors are easily corrected & support from Instaff is readily available.
CONSThere is a time stamp in the history that doesn't match up to real time. I find that very puzzling.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the kind words Karen! As for the timestamp issue, your account's timezone settings were not set up. We've fixed that for you so the timestamps should show correctly now. -- The InStaff Team

InStaff is Great for our Small Business
InStaff has been an excellent platform for helping us solve our paystub delivery dilemma. Being new to direct deposited payroll we did not have an efficient means of getting paystubs to our employees in a timely manner. We have only used the product for a couple of month's, but things are working well. We have gotten nothing but positive feedback.
PROSThe platform is very user friendly. It is straightforward and easy to navigate. Users can manage their own password information, but administration can easily help out when the need arises.
CONSWe would like to see some formatting options for the email notifications. Options for Bold, Italics, and colors along with possibly a few font options would be nice in order to draw attention to certain points in the notification. It is customizable as far as wording, but nothing that draws your attention.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review Karen! We'll pass on the feedback regarding email formatting to our development team.

Excellent HR Management Resource!
The InStaff team has been very responsive and easy to work with so far.
PROSInStaff is an easy-to-use and intuitive system for those looking to migrate away from manual PTO tracking and employee document distribution. The system is well-designed, easy to navigate and has functioned relatively flawlessly so far.
CONSThe development team continues to expand InStaff portal functionality, such as PTO calendar integration with Outlook. These improvements will continue to make InStaff a very valuable partner for our organization!

Instaff for Paystubs and tax documents
Instaff has helped me each payroll, I previously would have to manually email out pay stubs to employees. Now they can go online and get current ones and prior ones. I will also be using it for W2's and 1095's this year.
PROSIt's very easy to use and I haven't had any issues with the product.
CONSThere's nothing to dislike, maybe it would be nice if it was a little cheaper.
Reason for choosing Instaff
Ease of use was the main reason, print boss was cheaper but didn't;t fit what I wanted as much.

PROSDuring covid I was looking for a solution to securely distribute pay stubs to our employees. I do my own payroll in house and we typically handed out pay stubs but working remotely stopped that practice.

Perfect business tool
We are using InStaff for our payroll. All our employees have access on the portal, they submit their timesheets, with details of hours, overtime, project, task, units ect. Our Project managers are controlling the timesheets and approving them. Accounting is second level of controlling and gives the final approve. All the timesheets are uploaded to the accounting program. Now we need the 1/3 of the process time for payroll
PROSEasy to insert data, compatible with our accounting program

Excellent for paystub delivery
I'm really happy we found this company. We had just started doing direct deposit and I needed a way to get paystubs to my employees. This filled the need. It's easy and employees create their own login, can retrieve paystubs when they need to AND put in requests off. It tracks everything and puts it into a nice report.
PROSThe ease of use. It's very simple for the employees to login and retrieve their information.
CONSSome of the settings could be change for easier navigation as the admin user.
