### Seamless and Reliable Employee Self-Service

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Nick B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Computer Software
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2026
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

My experience has been excellent. Payworks takes the friction out of the "administrative" side of being an employee. I never have to worry about where my payroll information is. It’s a dependable system that stays out of the way and just works when I need it to.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The employee self-service portal is incredibly intuitive. I love being able to access my pay stubs and tax documents (like T4s) instantly without having to contact HR. It feels very secure and reliable.

#### Cons

There isn't much to complain about from an employee standpoint. If I had to pick something, the user interface feels a bit "functional" and traditional rather than modern and flashy, but since it works perfectly and is easy to navigate, it’s a very minor trade-off.

#### Vendor response

Hi Nick! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a stellar review. We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying our Employee Self-Service app! We hope you have a great day ahead.

When we first started using Payworks, I didn't know very many other companies that were using it but at a recent industry meeting, I was surprised to find out how many HR departments had switched and now I feel like I have found a community.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It is user-friendly for both employer and employee. They are consistently improving functions and adding features.

The reporting functions are cumbersome and not easy to determine how to set parameters. This usually results in a few false results before you are able to access the information you need.

#### Reasons for switching to Payworks

Decision was made just after I was hired but pitch was done by previous Manager so unable to provide details but discount through CFIB was a factor.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for your review, Stephanie! We're happy to hear that you're finding our product user-friendly. Stay tuned for some updates in the New Year that may help you with the reporting that you're looking to do!

The system is fine, however the intent of trying to leave a review is to try and get a supervisor to contact us to change our service rep. Any time I have asked for a supervisor I have been flat out denied that request.

Service Representative not helpful. The intent of trying to leave a review is to try and get a supervisor to contact us to change our service rep. Any time I have asked for a supervisor I have been flat out denied that request.

- Reviewed: May 2026
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

As an employee, I’ve found it to be a reliable platform for accessing payroll information, pay stubs, tax forms, and other employment-related documents. The system is easy to use for everyday payroll needs and provides a centralized location for important employment income records.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

What I liked most about Payworks is how simple and reliable it is for managing payroll and employee information. The platform makes it easy to access pay statements, tax documents, and payroll information in one place. I also appreciate the self-service functionality, which allows employees to view and manage their payroll information without needing to contact HR. The interface is straightforward, and I’ve found the platform to be dependable when accessing payroll records and year-end tax documents.

#### Cons

I wish that Payworks integrated directly with HR management software like BambooHR so that real-time data is shared regarding things like used PTO or vacation time.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're so happy to hear that you're finding the platform easy to use and reliable - that's what we strive for. In regards to your request for a BambooHR integration - this is currently doable via Knit, which we have recently partnered with.

#### Reasons for switching to Payworks

discount and ease of use of Payworks. Also the difficulty of getting support to change or upgrade Paymate.

### Fantastic Customer Service

- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: December 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Really pleased with the platform. It was a tremendous improvement over our previous provider, and the customer service is superb.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Customer service is the best I've ever encountered in a payroll provider. Email and/or phone inquiries are always responded to promptly.

#### Cons

It would be better if YTD adjustments to accruals were immediate rather than waiting for the processing of a paycycle We use front loaded accruals due to the nature of our business and there can be many adjustments at the start of each fiscal year.

#### Reasons for switching to Payworks

The above options does not seem applicable to this survey. Deluxe was no longer providing services in Canada, and Payworks was the recommended provider to take over our payroll.

### Great option for small business.

Far exceeded expectations. But to be honest I came from a provider that was absolutely horrible and difficult to deal with so I did not expect a lot. It was a great surprise to see how good this company is.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It's easy to use, I have had great customer service, the ease of setting it up at the start was simple and all at a reasonable cost.

#### Cons

I really haven't found anything I don't like. The closest might be that I am not a payroll specialist and some times terminology can get me but usually I can figure it out.

#### Reasons for choosing Payworks

Quickbooks was too expensive and the system we reviewed was very difficult to understand.

#### Reasons for switching to Payworks

Because ADP was awful and customer service was horrible. then the nail in the coffin was when they made huge mistakes with holiday pay in tens of thousands of dollars when we have only eleven employees, including a part-timer that took her holiday pay and ADP showed we owed her $5000 when she had not earned that much in two years.

outstanding implementation services and process. You make it incredibly simple to go live on Payworks. The approach is easy to follow, the data conversion support is without errors and the whole process is mindful of people that are already doing other functions.

### Exceptional Support and Reliable Payroll Solution

- Overall rating: 5/5

Overall, my experience with Payworks has been very positive. The platform is reliable and handles payroll accurately, and the support team truly stands out. Whenever I have questions or need guidance—especially with more complex payroll or legislative matters—the support team is knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. Having access to subject matter experts gives me confidence that our payroll is handled correctly and compliantly. Payworks has been a dependable partner in supporting our payroll and HR processes.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The support is fantastic—they truly deserve a 5-star rating! The team is knowledgeable, efficient, and always reliable. As an accounting manager, I have a solid understanding of payroll basics, but I don’t have the time to dive into every payroll setting or keep up with all government legislation. That’s why having access to true subject matter experts is so important. Payworks support is my go-to resource, and they consistently provide clear guidance and helpful advice. They always take the time to help, and I couldn’t ask for better support.

#### Cons

There isn’t always enough time to fully explore and learn all of the features Payworks offers. I wish there were a simpler, more streamlined way to learn what the platform can provide. It would also be very helpful to have a centralized resource that explains what each report is used for, along with guidance on how to set up and customize reports to better align with our company’s needs.

#### Vendor response

Hi Max! Thank you so much for leaving us such a wonderful review. We're so happy to hear that you're having such a positive experience with Payworks!

#### Cons

hard to navigate, menu changes for no reason sometimes. We always a had a quick shortcut to start payroll but it disappeared and now we have to manually find it each time.
