The cost was considerably lower, and they don't hassle us with additional fees for every little thing. AND they process our tax deposits\! That's the best part of all. The customer support is superior to any other support I've ever used. The techs are kind, patient, and walk you through anything and everything. Running payroll is the easiest thing, takes no time at all. We've been Patriot client for over a year now and have not run into any issues or glitches at all.

The manager role cannot add people. Each employee can only have one direct line manager who can edit their punches and approve their time off. > > Excellent\! Great support and value.

I've only had to contact support a small number of times. ----- Page: 1 / 160\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/20426/Patriot-Software?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/20426/Patriot-Software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
