## Reviews

### "BCR review" — 5.0/5

> **Chandra** | *August 16, 2021* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Like the easy to use features including multi employee timesheets which is quite a useful feature for my company, then the reporting and exports to other softwares especially the enquiry reporting that provides all information required to be filtered
> 
> **Cons**: takes time to learn the full potential of the system
> 
> having the system for 15 + years speaks for itself as it balances the costs vs benefits

### "Good product, could do with a little tweaking" — 5.0/5

> **Bonnie** | *August 16, 2021* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, like the back pay function. Have put a few suggestions in but not heard anything so apart from a few things I would like to see, I like it.
> 
> **Cons**: Not being able to deep dive into cost centres and different projects. I would like to be able to see Pay advice comments somewhere, perhaps on a transaction report so that we can easily pick up adjustments or out of cycle payments, without having to constantly refer to the actual pay advice to see what a pay was for. Also, after EOFY you cannot pull up or resend pay advices but must refer to saved copies which can be time consuming.
> 
> I have been using it for nearly twelve years and overall I like it, apart from a few little issues as discribed

### "Customer Support /Limitation of Leave Entitlements" — 3.0/5

> **Katherine** | *August 12, 2021* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is a very user friendly payroll software system
> 
> **Cons**: Our current HR platform called ENTO does not integrate with Micropay as this would be a major milestone to be achieved. Leave entitlements are limited to only Annual leave, sick leave and long service leave.&#10;How the leave is accrued on certain leave reasons. As our business is changing sometimes Micropay does not cater for these changes.
> 
> I feel that your customer support consultants could be more patient in helping with my queries. They can be sometimes abrupt and get frustrated with me when explaining how some functions work. Some consultants are happy to just send me a link (which sometimes does not explain what I actually require to do my job)on how to make changes to the system or how some functions work.

### "Micropay Review" — 5.0/5

> **Rhonda** | *August 17, 2021* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very user friendly and is accurate with tax rates , superannuation \&amp; stp reporting. Overall a great product to use for payroll processing.
> 
> **Cons**: does have some limited functionality re payment of commissions

### "MicrOpay made easy" — 5.0/5

> **Jane** | *August 3, 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Every department within the structure of Sage are extremely helpful and deliver on all accountables.&#10;The sale team, privatecloud team and the support team. I would not have been able to implement and deliver jobkeeper payments without their webinars and their in depth instruction manuals on Eknowledge.&#10;Easy to use instructions to implement anything are clear and precise.
> 
> **Cons**: There isn't much. The overall product is great. Reporting could drill down a little further.
> 
> We moved our NZ database as per my recommendations
