Payroll Basics Covered
Other than the additional Square account, I am/was super happy with the software. Perfect for startups and small businesses. I highly recommend!
PROSI loved that this was plug and play ready, user friendly and made payroll less of a headache. Tracking hours, schedules and pay was extremely easy and they handled all the government paperwork after set up. Reminders were super helpful and I never missed payroll deadlines.
CONSI didn't like that I couldn't activate previously canceled plans. Since the pandemic caused me to temporarily shutdown I had to cancel the service to save the monthly fee. I was super disappointed that I had to create a NEW Square account just to get access to the plan again. In doing so, I had two locations, two Square accounts and double the headache of managing. Honestly this was one the biggest reasons I decided to switch to Zenoti to streamline everything into one account and make management easier.
Reason for choosing Square Payroll
I was already using Square Appointments and POS for my solo practice. Since Square offered payroll is was an obvious add on.

Square Payroll is perfect for my small business
It's a fanstastic and solid product. I've used square payroll for over 7 years after using several other services like Quickbooks, paychex, ADP and nothing beats it in terms of price and quality.
PROSWe use square for our POS, scheduling employees, and payroll. It's a fantastic all in one product for a small business.
CONSI've used so many other products and I don't find anything about this one I don't like or that I feel like it needs in addition to what it already provides.
Reason for choosing Square Payroll
Square has been my final destination for payroll products. Its beats all competitors on price, ease of use and integration.
Reasons for switching to Square Payroll
Pricing was a big factor in the beginning. Now it is more that I like all my software is bundled together and is compatible together. Having multiple systems to manage similar parts of the business adds a layer of complexity I do not like.

If you cancel their service...BEWARE!
I will be looking for a completely new POS system as well as processor as this situation has left my small business in a bind halfway through January 2019.
PROSThe software itself is fairly easy to utilize; however, if you happen to cancel your subscription beware as you will be on your own. I had reorganized and changed entities therefore, cancelled my Square subscription. When changing entities I acquired a new EIN for the LLC. Square has refused to provide W2's for my employees for the 2017 tax year for the Sole Prop EIN in which I used for the business while with Square. After several emails back and forth I just received confirmation that Square will not be completing W2's for my business as I cancelled my service.
CONSCustomer service is extremely difficult with square as a whole. If you have any type of problem you will pretty much be on your own to research the internet or review conversation on the forum.

Our 100% Go-To payroll software!
We have tried other payroll programs and always come back to Square!
PROSSo quick and easy to use. Set up is quick and easy! Reports are perfect! Payrolls are always timely and accurate. Agency reporting at state, local and federal level have always been accurate and timely
CONSWE NEED AN ACCOUNTANT LOGIN FEATURE!!!!!!! Need a way to customize the weekly summary to load into the client bookkeeping! One sheet that explains the Federal and local withholdings for bookkeeping purposes. For example (a breakdown of EMPLOYER FICA and Employee Fica, Federal unemployment, State unemployment and state withholding need to be printed on the summary sheet)
Reason for choosing Square Payroll
We came BACK to Square from other payroll processors!
