Pento was easy to set up and start running for our UK employees. Could never go back to our previous set up with outsourced payroll provider.

We always thought of payroll as something boring and annoying. Now it’s just a few clicks every month and that’s it.

Not much, every time we have a small issue Pento support is there and addresses it very fast.

Very easy to keep payroll inhouse rather than paying externally for someone to run it. The Help Centre is very comprehensive but the best thing is definitely how quickly the support team come back with information. Very intuitive set up with user friendly dashboards and ways to add one off monthly changes to payroll. Great links to accounting software (have used it with both Xero and Netsuite) and easy to link to BambooHR. This is the software in my accounting tech stack that I can rely on the most.

Very little is a con. Perhaps to be nitpicky it would be any custom additions or deductions sometimes not having the full text come through as the header column in reports. This is incredibly minor and only adding as this is a compulsory field!

Very positive, they are definitely the market leader.

Pento is intuitive, easy to use, integrates with most HRIS systems and makes payroll much much easier. As soon as you are c. 30 employees I would recommend moving to Pento.

It is not as cheap as a solution like Xero - but once you are past a scale of 20 - 30 people, that kinda payroll solution will quickly become a time sync. Compared to other solutions are a larger scale, Pento is price competitive.

It is a simple system that would work fantastically if you had everyone on salaries with no extras and not too many changes

Pento integrates with bamboo hr which makes things a lot easier. It is also fairly self explanatory what is where. It is good that employees get email payslips

Sometimes the pensions integration is dodgy or there are bugs that we spot in auditing and have to ask pento to fix

It's crazy how much time Pento has saved us in processing and reviewing payroll. We love being able to keep our payroll in house for 250+ employees without having to have a dedicated payroll clerk. We can have payroll processed and reviewed in less than a day of one of our teams time!

- Slick interface; - Smooth implementation and transition from Xero Payroll; - Best in class support for both product issues and technical payroll queries (quick response and resolution); - Easy to use (month to month payroll adjustments have never been so easy to amend); - Automated recurring adjustments for most common adjustments and functionality to create custom; - Integrates with Xero and automatically generates the monthly payroll journal; and - Pension & HMRC integrations (massively reducing admin time).

We've sometimes had issues with bulk uploading adjustments, which meant having to manually adjust payroll balances for all employees for items such as annual wellness bonuses but this is a rarity and only a minor point.
