Payroll

PROS

The ability to access your payroll information from anywhere and to look back at months prior is amazing.

CONS

Some staff struggle with using apps and accessing email. It is a change process that can't be overlooked during implementation.

Great product

It has been good.

PROS

This software is much less expensive than any other product I have reviewed. For the price, it is easy to use and I like that the information entered in the Greenshades software carries over to our payroll system entry for entry instead of a general "dump" of information on the accounting side.

CONS

When calling into customer service, it is difficult to work my way up to an "expert" who can fix an issue that takes more knowledge than the front line person has. It would be nice to have a dedicated customer service person that I could talk to each time I have an issue instead of calling in and a random person helping me. When this happens I have to explain each time how our benefits are set up. If I had a dedicated person that I could call who only dealt with a specific number of companies, they would more easily and quickly understand the issue I am having instead of me spending 10 minutes or more explaining what I need.

Reason for choosing Greenshades

The cost was a major factor. Also, the way entries in Greenshades carry over to our payroll system.

Mid-Size Payroll Service using for Tax Purposes

We have over 7000 W-2's that we process, so it is good to have as an information gather. However, we must go over the information closely, for it is incorrect in some ways.

PROS

The software is quite easily to use and information can be manipulated.

CONS

The software does not communicate well with our payroll software (Darwin 16). It doesn't pull the correct information and since the techs with Greenshades don't know much about Darwin they state they can't fix it. Also we are using the software in Alabama mostly and the software is not even capable of creating an upload file with our state.

Reason for choosing Greenshades

He has been with Darwin since 2000. We have looked into other software in the last two years, both payroll and tax related. We have not decided if we are ready to move.

A Helpful and Welcome Tool

We have really enjoyed working with Greenshades. In fact, they are one of our best and most responsive corporate partners and business developers. They are professional and always responsive and available to help.

PROS

We are using Greenshades along with our Microsoft Dynamics SL accounting package to provide online access for employees to their paystubs and W2's among other uses (we process an in-house payroll). The system is customizable and the support team is accessible and eager to help. Though the system was originally built for MS Dynamics GP, Greenshades has also customized the system to work in a variety of ways with SL. For what the software provides, it is a good value!

CONS

Since the software is not made primarily for Dynamics SL, at times it can be frustrating to make things work perfectly. However, although the support team is very helpful, there are some limitations that may not satisfy all users. Overall all though, the pros outweigh the cons!

Reason for choosing Greenshades

The other products were prohibitively expensive and Greenshades was a good value for what our priorities and needs were.

Reliable software to Interface with Great Plains

We are solving Payroll inquiries by no longer having to accept requests for documentation when the employee can access past records by using the portal. We have elliminted 90% of the time required to administer garnishments.

PROS

Provides support for administering 1,000's of annual garnishments. Utilizing the Employee Portal for all payroll wage statements and W-2's.

CONS

It took a long time to implement and set up as promoted. Volume of garnishments was 100 times greater than Greenshades said the software was designed to accomodate. Proper implementation took many months and calls with Greenshades programmers.

Reason for choosing Greenshades

Familiarity with product and support to interface with Great Plains implementation.

Reasons for switching to Greenshades

Mas 90 was outdated by about 15 years.
