2-fold Patriot fan!

Doing payroll on my own was very tough and caused a hectic day every week.

PROS

As a New Englander Patriots is my football team, so why not Patriots Software! The name was the draw, the customer service is the prize to keep me.

CONS

Add an emergency contacts tab to the Employee section.

Reason for choosing Patriot Payroll

Ease of use. Customer service. Bookkeeping help.

Reasons for switching to Patriot Payroll

Quickbooks was too robust and hard to use on my own. Patriot Software is much better.

Best payroll program by far

It has been great. Probably one of the best decisions that I have made from a cost saving perspective for this company.

PROS

Easiest and least expensive to use. It takes me a couple of minutes to run our payroll.

CONS

The ability to pull payroll tax information in a format that I need for other reporting requirements.

Reasons for switching to Patriot Payroll

ADP had gotten very expensive. They have now offered us 12 months free to switch back.

No direct communications from the Tax Team results in delays

My client had an issue with the state quarterly forms. Although the SUTA taxes were remitted by Patriot , none of the quarterly returns were filed for the last 5 quarters. After sorting out an issue with the state exemption status, a request was made several times for Patriot to file the late returns. It's been 26 days and still no returns filed. You are not able to speak with the "tax team" or receive any communications from the tax department. All emails, chats and phone calls go thru a general support team. The latest email I received stated the filing of the forms are a "first come, first serve basis". Is Patriot not able to keep up with timely filings for all customers? The support ticket has been opened for over 26 days. I'm wondering if Patriot uses an outside service for tax filing?

PROS

Ease of use, simple interface, reports,

CONS

Tax filings, lack of email notifications

Reason for choosing Patriot Payroll

cheap.

Vendor Response

Doreen, Patriot is 100% supported in-house in the USA. Our tax team is available by email or phone option 4. It looks like there was some back and forth about getting the settings and exemptions correct all the way up to last week. Our team is working on your request, we assure you. Please feel free to call and speak with our tax team at any time.

Best Payroll System out there

My overall experience since day one with Patriot has been very positive and if i have any problems with any employment agencies, they handle them right away and i have no more worry and fear of forgetting things. I'd recommend Patriot to any small or large business for maintaining their payroll needs.

PROS

I love Patriot Payroll because it is very easy to use and to understand. I had a hard time keeping up with all the necessary paperwork monthly and quarterly for tax purposes and Patriot took that worry away from me and I'm forever grateful!

CONS

I can't find anything, yet, that I do not like about Patriot.

Reason for choosing Patriot Payroll

Not sure, it just felt like a better program.

Reasons for switching to Patriot Payroll

QB did not do as much regarding taxes that Patriot does for us. Patriot is so much better than QB for my needs.
