QuickBooks Payroll allowed me to onboard new contractors while being able to keep track of my current contractors. It was easy to set up banking information from my institution and also for contractors who did direct deposit. > > **Cons**: QuickBooks is extremely efficient. As a business owner paying bills and contractors (staff) is my top priority and this software checked all the boxes. > > QuickBooks Payroll takes out the hassle of dealing with the nuisances of payroll. It is easy for individuals who may feel intimidated to handle payroll or banking. It is user friendly and anyone can use it. ----- ### "Fabulous Product" — 5.0/5 > **Ali** | *23 April 2026* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love this product\! It is easy to use, offers great value for money, integrates seamlessly with QBO, and makes it simple to modify employee profiles. > > **Cons**: Currently, there is no option to select a Per Diem Employee designation, which would be useful. For now, I leave that dropdown blank. If I accidentally select Part Time, I am unable to change it. > > 100% Satisfaction\! I love this product\! I can't believe how easy this payroll program is—it's all-in-one and very user-friendly\! ----- ### "Quickbooks Payroll" — 2.0/5 > **Melissa** | *5 March 2019* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you are looking for basic integration or use in job costing with TSheets than QB full-service payroll is for you. > > **Cons**: The inability to write checks the same day without being charged $100 without a two day lead time. I have learned a work around but I should be able to write a check to an employee without having to post-date it by two days. Though customer support is always willing to help, expect to spend 2-3 hours on the phone with them each time you call, and I am QB certified. > > If I had a choice I would use another payroll software and do journal entries for payroll items. I think it has gotten better over the years, however I think there is much available room for growth and improvement. ----- ### "I recommend this" — 5.0/5 > **Rhonda** | *16 April 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quick book payroll makes it ease for me to do direct deposits. The cost for quick books is worth it to me. > > **Cons**: There were a few little issues that had to be worked out with customer support, before it was up and running correctly. > > If you work with payroll the price you pay in your time quick books is work the money. I recommend this to everyone. ----- ### "Excellent & Intuitive payroll processing program" — 5.0/5 > **Krista** | *30 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quick books payroll is efficient and intuitive\! It integrates well with QuickBooks Time/T-Sheet, Intuit for time sheets. > > **Cons**: I wish special alerts were sent directly to users when there are upcoing bank holidays that will impact a normal paycheck run. This can get a company in a bind when it is in an untraditional holiday\! > > QB Payroll has been great for our company. We regularly have employees who need to access their pas pay stubs and print them out for governmental assisstance, and that is very simple to do as well. Every time I have had to call customer service for help, I always received kind and detailed instruction to my problem. I also really like that they offer a call back option rather than having to sit on hold for a long time. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/5300/quickbooks-payroll?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/5300/quickbooks-payroll) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
