## Reviews

### "Payroll" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *December 13, 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to access your payroll information from anywhere and to look back at months prior is amazing.
> 
> **Cons**: Some staff struggle with using apps and accessing email.  It is a change process that can't be overlooked during implementation.

### "Greenshades - A Payroll Solution custom fit for all industries" — 5.0/5

> **ROCKY** | *January 20, 2026* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Interfaces with ERP payroll module so less time is spent processing payroll 1,400 employees in multiple related companies.  Greenshades provides secure access for all emplyees to receive payroll hstory and year end documents through the portal without consuming extra administrative staff's time.
> 
> **Cons**: Time to implement the services customized to our company needs.  Necessity to provide historical information that was not readily available.
> 
> Greenshades provides the sofisticated services in a proficient manner that allows us to focus on company profitability instead of task oriented internal processes.

### "Mid-Size Payroll Service using for Tax Purposes" — 3.0/5

> **Haley** | *May 18, 2021* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software is quite easily to use and information can be manipulated.
> 
> **Cons**: The software does not communicate well with our payroll software (Darwin 16).  It doesn't pull the correct information and since the techs with Greenshades don't know much about Darwin they state they can't fix it. Also we are using the software in Alabama mostly and the software is not even capable of creating an upload file with our state.
> 
> We have over 7000 W-2's that we process, so it is good to have as an information gather. However, we must go over the information closely, for it is incorrect in some ways.

### "\[sensitive content hidden\] IS AWESOME" — 5.0/5

> **GLEN** | *February 20, 2026* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: INTERFACES WITH GS HR EASE OF MAKING CHANGES ONCE A PAYROLL HAS STARTED AS FAR AS CHANGING HOURS WORKED OR CHANGING DEDUCTIONS.
> 
> **Cons**: THE SETUP WAS VERY CONFUSING AND ALOT OF TIME WAS INVOLVED.  I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME UNDERSTANDING THE G/L MAPPING.
> 
> VERY FRUSTRATED FOR AWHILE AND NOW THINGS SEEM TO BE CLICKING.  4TH QTR WAS PRETTY BRUTAL.  I AM ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT THE FIRST QUARTER BRINGS FOR PAYROLL QUARTERLIES

### "Greenshades & Image Pointe/Dignity Apparel" — 4.0/5

> **Tammy** | *June 18, 2025* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Mostly very user friendly.   Love the support that is available and the options of remote support if great.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes not being able to quickly get to a report for lack of not knowing how. 
Every once in a while, a support ticket can take a long time to get solved.
> 
> We have been using it for quite some time.  We went from paper record keeping to Greenshades so I have no comparison.
