Although my experience with SurePayroll spans only two months, it seems like a suitable payroll solution for small businesses with only a few employees, once you work out the initial kinks.
I appreciate the user-friendly reporting features in SurePayroll, especially the ability to generate reports and view graphs.
Slow Setup and Inconsistent Support
Paylocity is great! Payroll queries, holiday days, etc. are easily viewable in the system without using the HR.
Logging in/out of the office, viewing your holiday days, sick days, etc. is simple
Logging in/out on iPhone is at times difficult.
For over 15 years, we had used Sure Payroll without any problems. Sadly, this is not the case since late last year. They’re now filing tax reports that are incorrect, changing tax statuses of staffs, failing to file in several cases. The response of the client service has become slow too.
Using the online software for payroll processing is simple.
Errors in client service and tax filing
I wouldn’t move to another software no matter what as I love Paylocity.
The user experience is great, its dashboard is pleasant, internal news and comments are displayed by the “News” section within Paylocity, and via the software you can review benefits, request time off, etc.
Partially intuitive historical pay summary data which based on common usage of the term YTD seems inaccurate. For this type of software, the training tab seems outdated.
