### "BEST PAYROLL SOFTWARE EVER\!\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Sandra** | *December 16, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease and convenience of the software. Great client representatives who are always helpful when needed.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't have any cons to say about Payworks. Only that I have to enter something in here to complete the survey. lol ;)
> 
> I have worked with several payroll software systems over my 30 years. This is by far the easiest and most reliable software I have used. With numerous options, payroll always runs smoothly, no matter how many "add-ons" you have or don't have.

### "CEO and Director" — 3.0/5

> **Ricky** | *December 10, 2024* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Payroll and Hr onboarding. We don't have a problem with Payroll and Hr
> 
> **Cons**: Time Management and does not integrate with accounting software for job costing
> 
> Can you fully integrate your software with any accounting software? For example, if my guy works on one schedule for 80 hours per week, they export hours to billing automatically. It will become ERP if you can

### "Our first year of payworks" — 5.0/5

> **Brenda** | *December 18, 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We signed up January of this year.
The more I have used the system, the easier to navigate it has become.
> 
> **Cons**: Some things are very convoluted,  hard to find.
Having them easier to find and use would be helpful. ex doing ROE, 
I was a MOneris costomer before, you completed these right from there employee profile.
Generating T4's are done with the last payperiod if you want...  not sure how this is done with payworks but am betting it is more steps...
> 
> so far so good,.. just a huge learning curve. It is totally different from Moneris, some things are not as clear or easy. I found once I do them a few times they become easier. Changing from one payroll company to Payworks was seamless.
