Time saver #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like that it integrates with TimeSheet and Xero. All our employees punch in TimeSheet, than we export the data to PaymentEvolution. We run the payrun and then it is push to Xero in all the accounts. We save lots of time ! Also great customer service. I've never waited when I called. #### Cons It's a little tricky to start with but with the help of the customer service we fixed everything. We do have a problem now with Xero that we are hoping to get fixed ! --- ### Payroll Evolution - a big help! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: John Marc C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We have been able to offer Direct Deposit payroll for all of our employees. We have also been able to integrate Payment Evolution with our existing accounting software making keeping track of payroll easy. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We switched from in house payroll to Payment Evolution. The best parts of the software is the low cost, tax compliance, Quickbooks Online integration, and automatic generation and submission of T4's and T4A's. #### Cons The initial setup took some time but overall it wasn't bad. We had only used Quickbooks payroll for a month before switching to Payment Evolution so there was a learning curve. #### Reasons for switching to Payment Evolution We made the switch because we needed the ability to pay from two different bank accounts but Quickbooks did not allow that. --- ### Deeply flawed, too many costly mistakes - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Stephen T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It started great, but straight-forward mistakes that a competent system would catch have eclipsed any potential savings. Just get some decent software. Maybe this will work for you, maybe it wont, but you won't know until it's way too loate. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Easy to setup. Mostly friendly interface for the small business owner #### Cons Way too many hidden fees. We signed up for the free plan (not a trial), 6 months later that plan must have dissappeared because suddenly we were forced to upgrade to paid plan. I wouldn't have minded, but our account was suspended and I was unable to process payroll until we upgraded. There were issues with the KYC which meant I was unable to process payroll for several weeks. It's very difficult to rely on something as critical as payroll if they lock your account -while- you are upgrading. The software also failed to remit to Revenue Quebec for employees who don't get direct deposit. On weeks where only cash-based employees were working, PE charged us the for remitting & then sent a $0 RQ. This year I was pleased to find automated submission of year-end files to CRA & RQ. Unfortunately, PE generated an invalid XML file and so the submission to RQ failed. I would be happy to do the submission myself - I could hand-edit the xml file to be correct - but there is no way to download the files. Support would be great, but it's only for paid plan. This would be fine, if PE didn't charge you for every action at every step of the way already. #### Vendor response "Stephen T" - we encourage you to contact us directly with constructive feedback so we can continue to enhance our services for the community.

It's made my life so much simpler, especially since it's my first time doing payroll! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros For someone, who has no formal accounting or bookkeeping education, this software has been pretty intuitive and easy to use. #### Cons I don't like that in order to make changes to an employee's salary or information, I have to go through so many clicks to get there.I also do not like that when you enter in an employee's salary (when less than 40 hours a week), you cannot put the yearly salary that they would receive at 40hrs/week and the software doesn't adjust the number automatically to their salary at their number of hours per week -- which is how we account for salary base in our files. #### Reasons for switching to Payment Evolution Humi was unable to create a new company and transfer all existing employees like we had wanted, with each of the employees already having email addresses set up with Humi. --- ### Served the Purpose - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Roberto M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It was a great experience using this tool, both payroll management and reporting worked efficiently and eased our accountant's tasks #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is easy to use as it has no learning curve meaning it can be used by those without any accounting background #### Cons You have to prepare for clicks before you get to where you want. --- ### Useful Approach for Payment Processing - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Isaac T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Payment Evolution has all the processing solution, and it verify every business form of the cash acquired. #### Cons Payment Evolution has no payment errors, and hence, determined. --- ### It really Hepled in Employee Payments - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Francesca G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It has helped with electronic payments and receipts management after employee payments are done. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Their customer support is topnotch and the tool is very easy to install and use #### Cons The only issue is that it has a learning curve especially for new users --- ### Use a different payroll software - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros They will remit your taxes for you if you pay for that option. In terms of use for running the payroll it is fairly easy. #### Cons I've had it with PE's program. My last straw was just pulled. I spent the last 2.5 hours entering T4A's manually thinking it was saving each one each time I hit save and it said it was saved. It didn't save any of them. This is stacked on the fact that their software had a glitch and showed bills weren't paid when the payment actually did go through the first time. This technological error resulted in a substantial double withdrawal from the bank account. I also think it is a ripoff that it costs money any time you have to make a change. With other payroll software where the Bookkeeper is in charge you can amend and delete things without it costing $30-$100 each adjustment. Overall, I think there are way better options out there, and I know because I have used them. Just having 2.5 hours of my work go down the drain when I still had another 3 to go is my final straw. I will be using other software for clients going forward. I had come to this conclusion years ago, but was forced to use it again when a client had already been signed up with PE. --- ### I am very pleased with this product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Individual & Family Services - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: April 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered After using a PC based software which was difficult to use and didn't report the way we needed, this is a dream! We had an accountant and Point of Sale system and just needed a payroll component. This really fit the bill and so far, is working beautifully. It's so automated and yet, there are many ways to customize it (for example, vacation pay calculations for your province). I haven't found a way that it will calculate stat pay though. Remittances were a breeze with this easy app. Each employee is sent the pay advice into their email or it can be printed for them. As one starts the payroll run, all the information is filled out: the pay period dates, the hours if the employees are paid the same every pay period (so just change it to the hours they actually worked), their pay rate, etc. Since it is cloud based, it can be run from anywhere around the world. I am very pleased with this product. I actually look forward to payroll now. #### Pros Easy to use. Product support was amazing for the couple of questions I have had. Cost effective at $17/month (no hidden add-on fees) Communicates payroll effectively with employee #### Cons I couldn't find a way to export employee information from my software to Payment Evolution, so had to enter it manually. With 10 employees it was fairly simple and just had to enter YTD amounts along with employee information. --- ### A fantastic SMB Payroll and HR app - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ehsan F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified - Reviewed: February 2015 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This is a fantastic app. It almost replaces a whole accountant for your payroll need and makes you independent. It is extremely user friendly, and doesn't need much CRA/Tax knowledge. #### Pros - Easy of use. - Accurate. - Doesn't need much tax knowledge to work with. - Free tier for up to 3 employees. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 46 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/psa/payment-evolution-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Payroll Software [BambooHR](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/bamboohr-profile/) **4.6** (3552) Recently recommended **544** times [Paycom](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/paycom-profile/) **4.4** (1386) Recently recommended **483** times [Rippling](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/rippling-profile/) **4.9** (4862) Recently recommended **370** times [RUN Powered by ADP](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/adp-run-profile/) **4.6** (1525) Recently recommended **308** times Stuck Between Options?
