We use the product to process weekly, biweekly and monthly payroll. It is easy to use for each type.
It manage HR and payroll data for our employees at 10 different locations in multiple states.
It streamlines the process for filing taxes. Rather than having to print reports, reenter data and file returns on external sites, I can process returns with a couple clicks of the mouse.

I do not work with this software anymore, and I am not involved with the renewal of it. However, if I were, I would still suggest using it unless something better was introduced

Support Rating

Criterion HCM 1.0

Based on 1 answer

Support is very slow to correct issues. I have actually reported an issue then 2-3 hours later received screen shots where they were able to do what we could not as though we were doing something different that usual. They are quick to say it is user error. Took too long to correct payroll reports and reports still do not reconcile. Very difficult to complete quarterly and annual reporting.

Alternatives Considered

Sage HRMS was very cost effective for a non-profit. It does all that we needed as a company and more. It also allows us to handle payroll ourselves instead of outsourcing [it].

By combining Sage Abra with HrActions we have decreased our manual workload by 80%. Electronic forms have been a great asset.
