I used Paychex at a previous company, they would not work with Cannabis companies at the time we needed to switch. PeopleGuru is seamless, was easy to transfer data to, and even more user-friendly than Paychex.

Chose PeopleGuru™
We used both Kronos & Ultipro (now UKG) before switching to PeopleGuru, and the price is definitely better with PeopleGuru. As for performance from a payroll perspective, I liked both Kronos & Ultipro better. We left Kronos because the HR software was lacking, and left Ultipro …

Kronos data did not flow between the modules and they have horrible support.

All of these other systems have their strengths and have been around a long time. We choose PeopleGuru because we thought it could fit our unique needs compared to the others and pricing was considered as well.

PeopleGuru performs well against the other software. I find the PeopleGuru software to be more user-friendly and innovative compared to the others. Insperity TimeStar has a better layout for timekeeping and allows for more report options in regards to time and attendance.

PeopleGuru HCM is a not stop experience. I did not have to utilize multiple systems for all my data.

I was not part of the team that chose this software, but I believe ADP and Paychex Flex was two programs that were considered. The ultimate choice was made based on budget and tying it into our existing time clock and time and attendance we were already using.

I'd say PeopleGuru is well suited for most businesses -- a more significant (200+ employees) company may want to use something with a sleeker design. This provider is willing to work with cannabis businesses, which is unusual for payroll providers now.

Implementation Rating
PeopleGuru™
The implementation process was cumbersome and stressful. It took an extremely long time to complete this process. We had to learn a lot on the fly because this was the first implementation for all of us. The process would have been a lot easier if there was a third party that could assist with a lot of the work required to transfer and verify data.

PeopleGuru is better than other cannabis-friendly payroll systems, like CheckWriters or MyPaperlessOffice (companies so small they were not available in your dropdown). It is not as good as bigger companies that are not cannabis-friendly, like ADP or Paylocity. ADP is super expensive but given the choice I would be with Paylocity over PeopleGuru.
