Overall, Patriot has been great to work with. Set up was quick and easy. Onboarding employees and contractors are straight-forward and not hard to do. And their service is top-notch as well.
Pros
I like the ease of use and user-friendly interface and dashboard.
Cons
I think that the timeline when processing payroll isn't as advantageous to small businesses as more expensive options like ADP can be. Although it's not as costly as ADP it required payroll to be funded about a week ahead of check dates which can be challenging for a new, small field service company.

Patriot Payroll is Highly Dependable and Offers Great Value to Small Businesses
Reviewed on 31/01/2023
Pros
I have been a customer of Patriot Payroll for about 5 years and I typically file my year end employment forms i.e., 1099s myself. However, I was unable to file paper copies of these forms for tax year 2022 and Patriot Payroll was invaluable to me because they offered inexpensive and easy to use electronic filing. During the 5+ years that my small business has been a customer, Patriot Payroll has provided my company with the peace of mind of knowing that once a payroll is submitted, our employees will receive their paychecks via direct deposits on time. Now, I also know that I can depend on Patriot Payroll to accurately and quickly electronically file important year end tax forms.
Cons
In the 5+ years that my small business has been a customer, only once did I have a problem with Patriot's software. I called Patriot's toll-free customer support line and the issue was quickly resolved by one the company's knowledgeable, caring and courteous staff.

My client had an issue with the state quarterly forms. Although the SUTA taxes were remitted by Patriot , none of the quarterly returns were filed for the last 5 quarters. After sorting out an issue with the state exemption status, a request was made several times for Patriot to file the late returns. It's been 26 days and still no returns filed. You are not able to speak with the "tax team" or receive any communications from the tax department. All emails, chats and phone calls go thru a general support team. The latest email I received stated the filing of the forms are a "first come, first serve basis". Is Patriot not able to keep up with timely filings for all customers? The support ticket has been opened for over 26 days. I'm wondering if Patriot uses an outside service for tax filing?
Pros
Ease of use, simple interface, reports,
Cons
Tax filings, lack of email notifications

Aside from the time and money Patriot saves me, it also gives me a great deal of peace of mind knowing my payroll is being handled professionally. Before Patriot, I would agonize over each payroll tax submission for fear I'd screw it up.
Pros
I've been using Patriot's payroll system for several years. What struck me from the very beginning was how straightforward everything was in setting up my company, my employees, health insurance contributions, and direct deposit. My first payroll took only a matter of minutes. Literally! And they do all the tax filings that used to take me hours and later, that my accountant charged thousands of dollars to do each year! If all that's not reason enough to love them, their customer service is outstanding. The agents are well-informed, helpful, and very patient!
Cons
I use a separate program for accounting and another for invoicing. It would be nice to do them all in one place. It appears I'm not alone. They have now added those services but I have not yet made the switch.

We absolutely love Patriot Payroll! It is very easy to set up and use. We feel very confident in the service and having our taxes collected, deposited, and recorded saves us both time and money.
