Greenshades vs. Timesheet Portal

We used to have ADP for payroll, the gold standard. I guess to save a few bucks my company switched to Greenshades. From time to time my payroll stub does not show up on time. I asked my HR department about this and was told they are not fond of Greenshades. I call Greenshades to ask about the delay. They do not have any support contact information on the employee website I use to get my payroll information. I had to google them and found a support contact on their website. Not good. When I spoke to someone to ask about the pay stub delays, he hung up on me.

It is well suited for timesheet management and receiving easy client approval. Overall a very streamlined invoicing process as long as your process is repetitive. It is less appropriate for one off invoices or timesheets as the set up can take a while. Also the help centre is basically useless. We created our own user guides for our external users to use instead.

In my previous place of employment, we used the Paycom system as our resource for managing hours and time. I do believe that the Paycom system had more privacy and safety aspects implemented with their software. However, Greenshades Software is a very user-friendly website that provides all of the resources that are necessary to do the job well!
