Pros / Cons
  • The tax management features are simply amazing and automatically compute and submit our payroll taxes in numerous states to remote employees.
  • I am disappointed that I cannot add a note to common transactions like adjusting PTO balance, or even attaching emails to transactions.

  • One function that I personally enjoy (even though my staff do not) is the added security function that if you enter your credentials wrong twice (not three times like most people are used to), the system locks you out and then only an admin (like myself) can connect with Rise to unlock it.
  • Some of the modules do not speak to each other; changing a start date doesnt flow over the compensation start dates, onboarding defaults to work email and phone number when should go to personal; calendars are tedious as you cant choose a date, but need to scroll month by month.
