    Pros

    Payworks is a fine program to use when the main purpose is payroll and great for a small company.

    Cons

    Payworks is very finicky and does not offer a lot of features compared to other softwares out there.

    My experience has been top-shelf. If I had done anything wrong, I got a warning notice. It is user-friendly, and the staff has always been easy to talk to if I encounter any issues that need addressing.

    Pros

    It is user friendly and when I have any questions, it doesn't take very long to get assistance online through the chat agent. I love how you all do your best to make our lives easier by doing payroll.

    Cons

    I cannot think of anything I don't like about it

    It's been great. The transition from Deluxe was smooth and if I couldn't figure something out, [sensitive content hidden] always helped me.

    Pros

    It's easy to use, the support is awesome. Wish we had signed up earlier.

    Cons

    Nothing really. It takes me about 15 minutes to process payroll from timesheets to entering the information into Sage.
