Runs automatically like a charm ----- ### "Helps but there's probably a cheaper program" — 3.0/5 > **Alicia** | *03 July 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to view employees, their hours, set job expectations, easy to setup employees when hired on. Easy to fix issues if they arise. > > **Cons**: The cost is rising and we barely need all the services provided. There should be a la cart options for building our own package of services needed vs jumping to the next substantial cost increase. > > So far it's decent. We had an employee to put the wrong bank info in for direct deposit and QBP is not quick to correct the debit from my account. I had to write a check and now i have 2 debited payrolls for the employee, 7 days later no refund showing yet despite assurance it will refund soon. I will follow up. ----- ### "QB Payroll: Great option for employer and employee" — 4.0/5 > **Katelynn** | *29 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve had the pleasure of utilizing QB Payroll from the employer standpoint as well as employee. The range of customization as an employer is very beneficial. This is especially true where taxes are concerned. QB Payroll has options for setting up state and federal and federal taxes, as well as PTO, and things like wage garnishment. From the employee standpoint, the ease of use was undeniable. The ability to view your weekly schedule was a plus as well. > > **Cons**: From the employer perspective, payroll submission could get especially tricky during holidays. Depending on which plan you pay for depends on when you need payroll submitted. Holidays means having to submit early and if missed, you had employees going without pay. No opinion from the employee perspective > > Overall I believe it’s a useful tool as an employer. Its ease of use and customization lightens the load of an often overworked employer. As an employee, it was a fine system to use to log hours and track time. ----- ### "Straightforward for the most part, could be simpler in some areas" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *04 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Typically it is easier to use than other market leaders. Once you are familiar with the platform it is easy to find what you need, the inclusion of a bookmarking/favourites feature helps with this also. > > **Cons**: On some aspects of Payroll, it seemed to over complicate the process, such as whenever you made changes to an employee, the process could be simplified to be more streamline and also less jargon and more helpful tips and text for functions relating to payroll specifically such as NI rates etc. > > Generally overall a good experience. I no longer use this because I no longer need to manage my own payroll, however because of how simple the platform was in general, and for headline figures, I would use it again. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/20429/quickbooks-online?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/20429/quickbooks-online) ## 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
