Over the years we have very much appreciated the way OnPay listens to us and impliments our suggestions and features that work for our company.
Pros
We like being able to add new contractors and allowing an invitation to go out to the employee to log in and finish their own set up by adding their banking information.
We like being able to see a payment history made to the employee.
We like the ease of making direct deposit to employees.
Cons
We would rather enter contractors as contractors rather than employees which is easier to set up. Right now we have to add the 1099 Misc payment addon.
Alternatives Considered
Paychex FlexReasons for Choosing OnPay
We wanted a company to do all the heavy lifting for us, and have the ability for employees to have access to their own tax documents that they can download themselves as they need. The cost of not having to mail out 1099 misc forms covers a major portion of the cost of OnPay.Switched From

Leaving end of year to quickbooks even though more expensive. The failure on tax reporting alone is reason to go elsewhere
Pros
Easy to use and automatically syncs with Guideline, our 401k.
Cons
They keep messing up taxes. Twice in 6 months they failed to calculate taxes which ended up with my accountant having to deal with IRS. Worst part, it took 2 months to get response from support as they are too busy.

I am able to pay my contractors via direct deposit and they are able to receive funds within 2 business days. This is a tremendous advantage for my business. I was willing to quit using Intuit which gave me ability to pay my people in 1 business day, but it was worth it for reasons stated below.
Pros
It was easy to Onboard contract workers.
Cons
I had to get used to 2 day direct deposits, formerly I had 1 business day direct deposit functionality with intuit. Also, it wasn't super intuitive on the "check date" when I try to do a payroll run with my 10-99 contractors. I think they should have a feature for paying contract workers that isn't actually called a "payroll run"

I have really enjoyed using this software. It is our companies third payroll software vendor and as long as they continue to operate the way they do it will be our last.
Pros
The fact that you can modify employee information, add/subtract new employees, and make changes all while right in the middle of running a payroll. It is also very valuable that they allow you to run as many payroll instances as you need. For instance if you have an employee that forgot to add to their time sheet you can go back and generate another payroll for that one employee with no additional charges.
Cons
Some of the elements of the software are not intuitive and it is very difficult at times to deal with tax related issues through the software. Customer service is usually really helpful and most questions can be answered through chat.
