Patriot Payroll Software

Pros

It's easy to add an employee, and set up all of the preferences. I have some employees that I pay monthly, others that I pay semi-monthly, and this software lets me set it up that way, unlike some others I've investigated. They take care of all of the complicated employee taxes with the federal and state governments for me, too. I would be absolutely lost without it.

Cons

I use another program from my accounting, because it's free and very functional. I wish that Patriot could offer me free accounting software as well as the great payroll option. My ideal world would include accounting, personnel and point of sale in an affordable bundle. So far, that doesn't exist.

Pros

I like how easy it is to use, and many of our staff in the billing dept appreciate how effiecent it is!

Cons

There are no cons thus far and everyone that uses it for billing loves it thus far! we would recommend it!

Pros

The price is just apt, not too low not too steep, just right for my start-up natured company. Payroll is still to be set correctly and the tracking of the paystub is handy. Our accounts team should be able to pick it up real soon.

Cons

If everything goes with the initial setup with the accountants at my company, nothing should stop us from using this full time from then. Hopefully no cons shall be seen later.

Since 2014 when I setup our company; I was looking for an inexpensive and easy online solution. Patriot Pay is what I found. Super easy to use and setup. PP is growing and with features like free Direct Deposit and QuickBooks online integration, this makes it a great value for a small company.

Pros

1) Customer Service can be reached via online chat or by calling support
2) No software to install; Patriot Pay is online.
3) Has lots of integrations and those continue to get better (QuickBooks online, Direct Deposit)
4) I've seen this company grow in the past 4 years and quite impressed

Cons

1) Customer Service is available only during working hours--not available at night or during the weekend.

I have nothing else to compare to as we are new employees but Patriot has been easy enough and fair cost too.

Pros

The program is fairly simple to use, and whenever I have a question, the support team is quick to assist.

Cons

The set up and steps to take was a bit lengthy. Much of the issue was just all the legal things that needed to be done but more assistance with this would have been great.

I started using payroll software from patriot the first of 2018 everything has worked super smooth. I don’t even think about filing my quarterly reports or making deposits. Employees clock in and I OK payroll every week. That’s it!
Definitely employee payroll deposit.

Pros

All of my payroll in one place. Replaced the software I was using for very little money extra. I don’t have to update every year.
I love it.

Cons

Actually there isn’t anything to dislike about Patriot software payroll. My only contact for help was at the last days for quarterly tax reports. The hadn’t been filed yet so I emailed and they answered right away that they were done on time. They were too.

Reports, Budget, Functionality... I am solving the problem of having to print several reports to get the info I need to enter into our accounting software. This software provides me with a payroll report that has everything I need. I am solving the biggest problem we had, as a VERY small non-profit, of paying ridiculous fees for our once-a-month payroll runs. Now I can run payroll on a schedule that is convenient for US and it's the same price every month.

Pros

Ease of use, and PRICE! I can't believe the AWESOME service I've received from Patriot customer service - WAY better than what I was receiving from PayCor! The set-up and transition from one to another was super quick and easy!

Cons

I have been using it for 2 months and have not found anything that I dislike. It has been all positive from the moment I called about a free trial.

Thanks for keeping the price affordable.

Pros

Once you get past all the setup, it's super easy and quick to use. I love the price. It always seems to me that small businesses end up with about two options when it comes to the things we want or need: 1. The super expensive option with all the bells and whistles that is intended for companies with 50+ employees, or 2. The cheap crappy, near useless option. SO thank goodness for Patriot "getting it" that there are businesses out there like mine that fall somewhere in the middle on what they want/need.

Cons

Since I ended up switching from an existing payroll system/service mid-year it ended up being a lot of data to manually bring over for each employee. Nat Pay also was not the most fun or easy to understand from the get-go and I'm no dummy.

Pros

Easy to set up, customer service is great, great price, and could not be happier with patriot software!!

Cons

No complaints as of yet, I really can't say enough great things about patriot software payroll!

Great solution for our company's payroll!

Pros

I really like the simple interface, and the fact that I see in real time all of the withholdings, etc.

Cons

This is minor, and a bit picky, but I feel like I should put something down. Having to deal with a separate company for Direct deposit is a bit of a hassle, but only during the initial setup period.

Pros

The price and features are unbeatable. I have researched many payroll services and they do not compare to price and features that Patriot provides.

Cons

I wish there were more features for my 1099 workers like a portal for them. This will help them to see Year To Date Earnings whenever they wish.

Pros

Software provides needed control to manage your employee payroll and define all aspects needed for related acountabilty

Cons

overall provide all needs but could benefit from minor enhancement by adding some features needed for employee payroll customization.

It was recommended to me by another girl who is helping manage the care of her mother. It has worked out beautifully for my family

Pros

Great support, knowledgeable staff, I did EVERYthing so wrong and they helped me get it straight. Patient!

Cons

No cons that I'm aware of after 6+ months of using the software to mange the care of my mother after her stroke.

Pros

- Payroll
- 1099 add on
- Collecting taxes
- Reports on payroll
- HR add on
- IRS tax filing annually

Cons

You have to file online for EDD services. My company is required to file all of unemployment details of my employees online and they don't do that. I have no problem doing that on my own its a small thing.

Pros

Good Customer support
Free trial period
Very affordable for small businesses with only a few employees

Cons

Took a few customer support phone calls to set up the accounts. Not very intuitive for this beginner but customer service was very patient

I would recommend this product to ANYONE, but especially to those like me who are starting a new business. Patriot gives me one less major issue to worry about.

Pros

This product is basically idiot proof. Patriot has taken the stress out of not only payroll, but also taxes, organization of time cards,... dropping my blood pressure another 10 points.:>)

Cons

There is nothing, thus far, that I don't like about this product. It has made payroll one of the easier chores in my month. As a small business owner, that is invaluable.

Pros

Super easy to use, customer service has always been able to help me, im a new business owner and love it!

Cons

Honestly, I have no complaints about this software. It has everything I Need for a fraction of the cost compared to others.

Pros

Online, easy to use. As long as you have internet, you can do your payroll and view the history. They have online chat support.

Cons

Data security. If hecker heck their website we will lost all employee personal information including SS#. You need internet to do payroll or check the data. You need to backup your own data.

Pros

My favorite part about patriot software is that they take care of everything from my payroll direct deposit, to my submitting my tax payments for me.

Cons

I can honestly say I don’t see too many cons at all. I wish they had an app that I could use on my iPhone. That’s about it.

i think this software is a real winner

Pros

everything i got from payroll company and 1/3 the price
best support services ever! once setup it is a breeze to use.

Cons

a little difficult to understand the setup process. the direct pay with NATPAY is confusing and difficult to understand how they work
