Patriot Software - Great Payroll Software Value

Overall, Patriot has been great to work with. Set up was quick and easy. Onboarding employees and contractors are straight-forward and not hard to do. And their service is top-notch as well.

Pros

I like the ease of use and user-friendly interface and dashboard.

Cons

I think that the timeline when processing payroll isn't as advantageous to small businesses as more expensive options like ADP can be. Although it's not as costly as ADP it required payroll to be funded about a week ahead of check dates which can be challenging for a new, small field service company.

Alternatives Considered

RUN Powered by ADP

Reasons for Switching to Patriot Payroll

We chose Patriot for it's the combination of affordable cost, good service, and good features and functionality.

Patriot Payroll is Highly Dependable and Offers Great Value to Small Businesses

Reviewed on 2023/01/31

Pros

I have been a customer of Patriot Payroll for about 5 years and I typically file my year end employment forms i.e., 1099s myself. However, I was unable to file paper copies of these forms for tax year 2022 and Patriot Payroll was invaluable to me because they offered inexpensive and easy to use electronic filing. During the 5+ years that my small business has been a customer, Patriot Payroll has provided my company with the peace of mind of knowing that once a payroll is submitted, our employees will receive their paychecks via direct deposits on time. Now, I also know that I can depend on Patriot Payroll to accurately and quickly electronically file important year end tax forms.

Cons

In the 5+ years that my small business has been a customer, only once did I have a problem with Patriot's software. I called Patriot's toll-free customer support line and the issue was quickly resolved by one the company's knowledgeable, caring and courteous staff.

My client had an issue with the state quarterly forms. Although the SUTA taxes were remitted by Patriot , none of the quarterly returns were filed for the last 5 quarters. After sorting out an issue with the state exemption status, a request was made several times for Patriot to file the late returns. It's been 26 days and still no returns filed. You are not able to speak with the "tax team" or receive any communications from the tax department. All emails, chats and phone calls go thru a general support team. The latest email I received stated the filing of the forms are a "first come, first serve basis". Is Patriot not able to keep up with timely filings for all customers? The support ticket has been opened for over 26 days. I'm wondering if Patriot uses an outside service for tax filing?

Pros

Ease of use, simple interface, reports,

Cons

Tax filings, lack of email notifications

Response from Patriot Software

Doreen, Patriot is 100% supported in-house in the USA. Our tax team is available by email or phone option 4. It looks like there was some back and forth about getting the settings and exemptions correct all the way up to last week. Our team is working on your request, we assure you. Please feel free to call and speak with our tax team at any time.

We love that patriot files our taxes accurately and on time so that we don't need to additionally pay an accountant to do that for us.

Pros

We are a fairly new nonprofit started in the past 3 years. We started out using patriot payroll and its made paying our employees, paying taxes and filing taxes, as well as tracking what we pay contractors easy and doable for us! It is user friendly and is a very non complicated system. We love the time card management addition that allows our employees to fill out their own time cards, but also allows the administrator to edit them as needed.

Cons

I don't feel much needs to be improved upon, I am happy with the software and feel its very user friendly. I have not had any issues with it at all.

Patriot makes our tax filing a piece of cake. The overall cost is very affordable. Highly recommended. In fact, we have recommended your services to several of our industry colleagues.

Pros

We absolutely love Patriot Payroll! It is very easy to set up and use. We feel very confident in the service and having our taxes collected, deposited, and recorded saves us both time and money. Although we've only had to contact customer service a handful of times, the response time is quick and the representatives are so friendly and patient. Great work Patriot!

Cons

Honestly, there's not a thing I dislike.
