Square Payroll makes Payroll easy

Pros

The Direct Deposit feature of Square Payroll makes paying employees a very streamlined and simple procedure. The W-2 Preparation features makes tax season a breeze. Sending employees W2s is all within the app. Vacation/Leave Tracking has truly increased the productivity of payroll and bookkeeping. This is the ultimate feature for this application.

Cons

I feel as though with time Square Payroll will rollout a more aesthetically pleasing interface but I do not find any cons.

Square Payroll makes payroll simple

I've been utilizing Square Payroll for a number of years. It's very easy to onboard new staff, monitor hours and ultimately run payroll with very little effort.

Pros

It's turnkey, ready to roll with very little effort needed on my part to operate.

Cons

Waiting on upgrades to scheduling and availability. The incoming changes will have a significant positive impact on usability.

Ignores problems and has terrible customer support

Terrible. Their customer service agents don't take the time to understand or resolve the problem.

Pros

Running payroll is simple and I could automate the entry of payroll data to avoid mistakes.

Cons

They have screwed up my tax filings every month since switching to Square Payroll. I've reported it to them every time. Now they want me to pay extra to have them amend my filings.

easy to use and affordable!

I love it. I can't recommend it to enough people

Pros

easy to use! they handle filing all relevant information for me

Cons

Support sometimes doesn't understand the rare problem that pops up and it may talk speaking with a few people to get it resolved. I've never had an issue not resolved same day though.

Reasons for Switching to Square Payroll

Cost was the biggest reason. The second biggest was that it directly integrates with my POS system
