Powerpay Erfahrungen

Vorteile

I cannot express enough how easy Powerpay has made it to complete annual reports and complete payroll on time. New employees has no trouble on-boarding and getting setup. After struggling with APD for 2 years we're happy to announce PowerPay has been perfect for our small business.

Nachteile

Annual reporting for taxes need to be filtered.

Vorteile

I have been using Ceridian software (powerpay) for many years now and I really like the ease of use with it. It is easy to set up new employees and it is easy to get payrolls processed. If I need to make any changes, I have no problems doing that either.
The reports are excellent (other than my comments below) and I particular like the year-end reports which are quite easy to read and have the information necessary.

Nachteile

The new version of Powerpay is a bit more cumbersome in terms of scrolling down to the bottom of the screen to get to the next page. It takes me longer to get through the pages. I also wish that there was better reporting - for instance I can't pull up a list of employees who have been terminated and I cannot pull up their Records of Employment without knowing exactly when they left and then finding the report in the Payroll reports section.

Vorteile

The Rapid Entry page is quite useful and easy to use.

Nachteile

I don't like that we have to be in an active pay period/run in order to access general information. Sometimes I just need to check something but I have to open a new pay period/run in order to do so. I'd love to be able to customize the experience more.

Vorteile

The powerpay system departs from using codes all the time coming from INSYNC. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use.

Nachteile

Reporting is not as extensive and cannot be used as a replacement for a proper HRIS. Thus I use Dayforce for most basic reports and powerpay just for Payroll reports.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Powerpay

Price and easy transition since both are Ceridian products.

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to use and, if I have a problem, the support staff are terrific. It is very well priced as well. It is a manageable option for small businesses.

Nachteile

I would like to see little helpful tips come up when you hover over a heading or title. It would be nice to have small instructions or explanations in areas that will save me having to call in with a small/minor question.

Vorteile

Employee self-service is really user friendly and much easier to administer than ADPs team pay

Nachteile

I would like the ability to run more reports and also would appreciate the ability to export the reports to excel. Would appreciate the ability to make changes with an effective date, for example, make effective on the next pay period rather than having to accumulate those changes in a separate system for later.

Vorteile

The software is user friendly than what I used before. It has also saved a lot of my time on a biweekly basis to process payroll.

Nachteile

I would like more analytics in the software like creating various reports based on employee information.

Warum Powerpay gewählt wurde

The product I was using was outdated and not user friendly.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Powerpay

Power Pay is cheaper and perfect for small businesses.

Vorteile

I have used it for years. I have recommended it to many of my bookkeeping clients. I find it user friendly, convenient to access older info and easy to speak to customer service.

Nachteile

There is nothing I dislike about this product.

Vorteile

I like all the features, from inputting the data to the final result, it is very easy and user friendly.

Nachteile

I don't want to say it as con, but every company comes with its unique payroll features , so it does take time to integrate, but finally powerpay is integrated with the company's system.

Vorteile

Powerpay has a very intuitive interface which as a result makes it very easy to use and operate for the users that also makes the training process easy and fast. This tool is also very cost-effective for our business due to which there is no such financial burden on our organization due to software. I am highly satisfied with their customer service that is extremely helpful but it is needed very rarely as the product is efficient enough. It has made the lives of users easy by customizing all the payroll needs be it commissions or be its deductions. This software has a very simple payroll process that requires minimal to zero manual work that even includes some payroll runs.

Nachteile

Whenever I wanted to make some changes in the product I couldn’t independently do it and it always needed some support from the product. I just wish that the reports in the software were slightly more vigorous because these are not really useful for the business.

Vorteile

Easy to navigate. Input is easy. Reports are super efficient.

Nachteile

Little education probably do not use it to its full potential.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Powerpay

I had used Quic books payroll years ago and prefer having a third party manage deductions etc.

Vorteile

Power pay is easy to use and customer service is very helpful.

Nachteile

A little bit confusing for me when producing Record of employment.

Vorteile

I have to say what I like most about the product is the people behind it. The customer service is amazing, especially as a new user, I needed alot of help processing payroll. Although I used the help menu, I usually found it quicker and easier to just give them a call. The calls are answered quickly and the reps are very knowledgeable.

Nachteile

If an employee is not set up on self service it is difficult to retrieve their pay stubs. A paystub report is generated for people without a self service account but I dont find the report includes all the stubs of those without their account active

Vorteile

Powerpay is very easy to use as a payroll system. The information is inputted and the system does the rest! The reports are generated automatically and are available at any time. If ever there was support needed, questions were answered quickly and efficiently and problems were solved! Another benefit that is appreciated is the email reminders we receive a day before payroll is due for submission. If there happens to be a holiday interfering with regular schedules, we are made aware well in advance and therefore do not miss any critical deadlines. We have been using this company for our business since opening in 2010 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solution for their payroll needs!

Nachteile

The software often provides updates regarding taxation changes or government incentives that may be useful to your organization. The updates received include reports for every province rather than just ones that pertain to our region. It can be time consuming sifting through the updates to find the ones that pertain to your company specifically.

Vorteile

Ease of use and the historical record keeping. Very useful in applying for Government Covid Wage subsidies.
When I call in for help the staff have always been very knowledgeable and helpful. They have always been able to answer my questions.

Nachteile

I cannot think of anything at this point that needs improvement. This may be because I have a very small payroll.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Powerpay

Powerpay was recommended by a co-worker.

Vorteile

We use Powerpay and have for a number of years. For a small seasonal company like ours, it is very easy for me to submit payroll from anywhere I have access to a computer. It also great to have ROE, t4's and year end completed so easily. Knowledgeable staff make it easy when your have a question or problem.

Nachteile

Being seasonal it would be easier if we could maintain somewhere the info for our workers who return every year. If we could recall them by their employee number, it would save a lot of extra work.

Vorteile

ease of use and the customer support. every time we call customer support always very helpful.

Nachteile

each add on is additional cost - for some of the other modules.

Cost, other companies already using Ceridian

Vorteile

Software is easy to use and navigate. Ceridian has been making lots of changes lately to enhance the user experience and it shows!

Nachteile

Wish there were more basic reporting features available in Ceridian to easily run employee based reports. Also wished the enhanced reporting was easier to understand / navigate.

Vorteile

The generation of ROEs saves so much time, it's a life saver. The ability to pull prior years reports is great.

Nachteile

Nothing really missing nor that we don't like.

Vorteile

Setup process was smooth and assistance provided each step of the way.

Nachteile

I would like to see a holiday pay calculation feature.

Vorteile

for our employee base this product is easy to use, easy to navigate through
your customer support are approachable and understand the ins and outs of payroll and what the employers obligations are

Nachteile

the only issues I have encountered was with codes that Ceridian uses and coordinating that with our software system and their codes it not always seamless or as intuitive as it should be

Vorteile

Easy to use
Great customer service
Great year end webinars

Nachteile

To find simple employee information in their profile, a new pay period always has to be created which sometimes is not feasible if we don't want to set up a new pay period at that time
The payroll preview in Insync was better, in my opinon

Vorteile

We were impressed by the many things the software could do, with vacation pay calculators that we did not know we could automate, to setting up three different types of employees easily

Nachteile

I dont think so. The staff made all the difference, and the software did what worked for us.

Vorteile

Rapid entry is incredible in Powerpay, Self-Service makes things very easy and efficient (we used to manually send out paystubs & T4s), and the Excel journal entry has made our processes much better!

Nachteile

I wish I could copy cells in Excel and paste them directly into the rapid entry screen without having to sign up for a premium product. I also wish that the Department / Distribution setup went up to 4 digits instead of just 3 (0 - 999).

Vorteile

Power Pay is a robust engine for what it does. However client did not know what all there was available.
Advanced Reporting feature was just turned on. Client did not utilize this as they didn't know.
Set up clients GL as that was a manual.
Import feeds created to optimize entry and remove rapid entry.
automated some of the earnings code features.

Nachteile

Would like even more reporting capability. But the 24 advanced reporting turned on definitely gives the client more than what they were using.
