The software helps manage employees on different schedules, contractual and permanent. It makes it easy to pay workers, calculate taxes with ease and directly deposit the salaries to the employees using the software. It is simple to understand and user friendly.
Pros
I must comment on the customer support team, they are always ready to help and respond to customer queries. Is it very useful in paying contractual staff daily , weekly and montly.
Cons
It is only suitable for small organizations, this limits its use in large multinational companies.

Pros
It had the appearance of functionality. At first, I thought they understood the withholdings and filings that needed to be made.
Cons
We had issues from the moment we started the setup process (which was not as straightforward as the web site led us to believe ). Many things needed to be clarified and corrected after the setup process and Wagepoint was not available for quick contact most of that time. Customer service is nearly non-existent. But the final reason we left was that their ACH processor, NatPay, suggested our business was related to products we have nothing to do with and WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY DATA placed the burden of proof on us. This happened without warning and Wagepoint simply parroted their inquiry. In fact, the evidence they asked from us was our URL, as if that would have proven anything. I could have given them any URL I wanted. This silly request from an already difficult little Canadian company (Yes, based on Nova Scotia) was not worth my time, trust, or effort and we fired them. Now, we pay them nothing to do what we were already half-doing to begin with to support our completely legal and ethical company that has nothing to do with the shady business they suggested. I would disagree with the user whose review stated you get what you pay for with Wagepoint. I did not pay to be irritated by a service company.
Response from Wagepoint
Hi Jason,
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience while getting set up with Wagepoint.
As a payroll company, we are required to put all prospective customers through rigorous screening before we can do business with them. While we're attempting to better our processes, there are times when legitimate companies get caught in the risk filters. This might be the case with your company. Unfortunately, as a company policy, we cannot override those decisions. I understand your frustration and I'm sorry that we couldn't work with your business.
Sincerely,
Shrad Rao, Wagepoint CEO

The ease of use is my favourite aspect of the Wagepoint software.
Cons
My wish list would consist of being able to flag reports that I use frequently. Not a huge concern but it would be nice to have your favourite reports section.

I am happy with this software so far. And I like easily and quickly reachable support when I need them.
Pros
I like the clear layout of all functions, including reports. after ADP - it is a relief to use reports here. Flexible in different payment options
Cons
I'd like the software to add functions:
to calculate Union dues automatically based on hours worked (not on the amount of earnings).
to calculate HST automatically for contractors
To add the option "Vacation" paid to Contractors. Unionized contractors have 10% VacPay - I add it manually every week, together with Unions dues and HST

ruined settings (not taking payrol taxes from Vac pay that was added and subtracted, messed up with T4 and T4A, submitting wrong T4As, entering vacation amount in income, while we didn't see them on summary and found out later, when workers told us that CRA demands T4 people to pay some amount from T4A. and we were tireed of awful reports for weekly use, absolutely not user-friendly - it was a headache to find numbers thereReasons for Switching to Wagepoint
