    AbsenceSoft and their software produce AbsenceTracker is phenomenal. It's easy to use, easy to update, easy to manage. I strongly recommend Advanced Insight reporting for anyone using the product as it really helps in getting the information we need out of the system quickly and accurately. I love the texting feature, especially with new parents, as it helps us get quick responses from our employees on leave.

    OnPay
    OnPay works for me as a small business owner. It streamlines HR, Payroll and Employment Tax Filings - and it can be helpful in exploring benefit options with integrated partners. We run payroll for both of our companies through OnPay and haven't had any issues. The employees find it easy to use on their end, as well. The OnPay representatives are extremely proactive and communicate updates/changes in a very timely manner. If you have a substantial number of employees, it may be more efficient to look elsewhere due to cost.

    Pros
    AbsenceSoft
    No answers on this topic
    OnPay
    • Communication - From my first call I was so impressed at the level of care and compassion OnPay expressed. I was assigned specific employees who were available in the sign up process to walk me through each step and to answer all my questions. I know some of my questions were probably "stupid" but OnPay never minded answering them and I was always treated with respect.
    • On Boarding - The nightmare I had experienced with a competitor became a dream with OnPay. They said if I would authorize them to sign onto my account they would take care of the sign up process. And they did!!! They also did it correctly. All of the numbers and information was error free. The only information I was required was input was direct deposit bank information.
    • Resolving an Issue - I have only had one issue that needed to be resolved. The person I talked to had to check with another person for an answer but she stayed on the line with me to make sure the problem was resolved. Then I received a follow up email outlining exactly what action they had taken.
    • Ease of using the website - I can find what I am looking for! I like the verification code. And every time I sign on to my account the red heart by our company name makes me smile.

    OnPay
    • You can add additional additions or benefit items such as a car allowance. The process required me to contact a representative as that wasn't as easy to navigate.
    • The process for handling additional withholdings for pre-payed taxes required support to ensure the calculations were accurate.
    • Process for on-boarding is a little tricky if you don't start the process from the point of hire. You can add various things easily but it reflects differently in terms of completion of an Employee file.

    We have used OnPay for a few years now and we do continue to renew our annual use of OnPay. We are only a small organization and although OnPay provides a lot of additional services that larger organizations might ind useful, OnPay still meets our limited requirements of running bi-weekly payroll and submitting our quarterly state and federal tax documents, and at a price that we still find affordable.

    For a one geography business in a larger metro area not planning to expand tax geographies or do anything other than the same-ol, same-ol, then I think OnPay is great. Their biggest issue is tax support responsiveness - it's simply unacceptable yet they seem to not be concerned about it at all.

    As mentioned previously, I appreciate the Chat feature and have used it several times. I've also used the help database and found it wonderful. And I've had many email support interactions. Every time I've interacted with many individuals from the support team including...(who has helped me a number of times). The interactions have been professional and courteous and extremely helpful. Often they're able to resolve my problems and questions very quickly. OnPay has provided great support to our team here at Strike Visuals.

    OnPay is tremendously less expensive and technically superior to Quickbooks in my opinion. OnPay is less expensive and offered the ease of managing a restaurant payroll that was better in my opinion than When I Work. My experience when evaluating all of the payroll products that I felt the company could afford was that OnPay had a superior staff of professionals who knew their product and could explain how to use it most clearly.

    Screenshot of a Real-Time Leave Status Report: A leave status report offers a real-time and on-demand overview of leave requests and the status of those requests. This report can be used to quickly identify:

- Employees who have submitted leave requests
- Eligibility status
- Leave approval status
- When the employee will return to workScreenshot of a Compliance Monitoring Map: AbsenceSoft makes state and federal compliance more straightforward. A fully dedicated, internal compliance team ensures that all policies are updated in time for legislative changes. Rules are continuously updated to guarantee clients are working with the latest legislation and best practices, eliminating the need to constantly research new leave law changes.Screenshot of an Intermittent Usage Report: Staying up-to-date with all of the steps that occur in an intermittent leave case can be very tedious and time-consuming for a leave team. But an Intermittent Usage Report checks the need-to-know data points for intermittent leaves in real-time, including:

- Intermittent leave usage (who is out and for how long)
- Which employees need recertification
- Any inconsistencies
