All around solid product

Excellent customer service, they answer quickly and sometimes go above and beyond. Once I missed a payroll date and they worked with me to expedite it.

Pros:

Wagepoint is really ease and simple to use. It is very intuitive. As a CEO, I don't have much time to do payroll, and this only takes a few minutes. Plus I LOVE the year end package, it has saved me so much time!

Cons:

I find it a little pricy, but to be fair, I haven't compared to many other companies similar to Wagepoint.

Reasons for choosing Wagepoint

At the time it was a good price, it did everything we needed it to and it was recommended by our accounting firm.

Pros:

I like that there is a human communication any time I need help. I like that they make it easy to reach out any time I have a question. The program itself works well for my needs and needs of my clients.

Cons:

Perhaps I would like to have a bit more reports. It is bit convoluted to have off schedule pay or irregular pay but not too bad.

Reasons for switching to Wagepoint

Wagepoint had Auto-payroll before QuickBooks did and now I have switched a client because of the new verification system QuickBooks are asking for

The best Payroll software so far

In general, we like Wagepoint. We came after using ADP and QB and found out it is better and user-friendly, with easily accessible help

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

User-friendly, fits most of our requirements, cheaper than for example QB, and a very good Help service. Opportunity to create and edit ROE, sending it to Service Canada over Wagepoint. T4/T4A . I like reports - very clear info and easy to find.

Cons:

We still should do manual entry of HST for contractors, variable dues that are calculated as a rate per hour (not per dollar earned). Also, T4/T4A should have all boxes available for use Would be good if Wagepoint showed warnings if w submit T4/T4A without SIN or HST

Reasons for choosing Wagepoint

Too expensive ($4 per person) and less opportunity for variations in payroll

Reasons for switching to Wagepoint

It was ADP- I don't know which one out of variants you offer for response. ADP Reports were difficult to see numbers, many things we couldn't enter, ROE with errors because of specific construction payroll and no opportunity to edit - always call, but also it was difficult to reach the team for help. It was 2020, maybe they improved now.

The best payroll people in the biz!

I will always recommend Wagepoint to my clients. I often refer to Wagepoint as payroll on easy mode. It's just so much faster and simpler to use and integrates with many of the bookkeeping software programs we use. From direct deposit to remittances to ROE's it reduces the time spent on payroll by hours.

Pros:

Wagepoint support is the best I've seen in the industry. I have only had to reach out to them due to user error, IE someone has missed their deadline or needed a change, and they're always quick to respond, friendly and manage to get everything sorted out in a timely manner.

Cons:

I really can't think of any cons! Once you are familiar with wagepoint everything is really easy to use.
