APS OnLine is being used across the whole organization. All of our employees have embraced the new system increasing the number of direct deposits and paperless vouchers. Primarily, it has increased the online time management in place of time cards for our outlying areas along with time off requests eliminating approximately 15 hours of manual data entry.
  • APS OnLine is a great end user product and very easy for our employees. They have quick access to all their information, their accrual balances, hours worked, etc. They are able to enter their time off requests in the system. Although our prior system had these capabilities, employees had difficulty accessing system. If they couldn't get in, they couldn't use it. More employees logged on to APS in the first two weeks of use than in the prior three years with former system.
  • Integration - Data is real-time. When you enter information in one area of the software, it is immediately present in the rest of the system. No waiting for overnight interface. Change log provides backup for any changes that have been made as well as safeguards in the approval process.
  • Administrative ease - The system is very straight forward, logical, and easy to operate from the administrative end. [There is a] designated representative to address questions as they arise. No sitting on hold.
  • Reporting - We have six different business units and the reporting is separate for all three. Most reporting I do requires information from all business units so am running six reports and then copying and pasting to get the report I need.
  • Multi-state taxes - We have a number of employees who live in New York and work in New Jersey. APS OnLine is designed to accommodate one state withholding so ability to have "worked in" state and "lived in" state taxes withheld went away. This was a shortfall.
  • The Carrier connection setup took much longer than expected. After a year, we are still having some issues with some items transferring over to the GL.
  • The CA overtime calculation does not calculate after 8 hours per day, only on the 40 per week so we override each week.
  • Reporting - when running Benefit reports, it recognizes employees who formerly carried the plan but may have dropped it. To get around this, we have to delete off the employee's record so the history is not readily available.
Our goal was to simplify our payroll process and make it more user friendly. Very happy with final outcome.

  • We are still in the early stages of APS Online use, so a number of the platforms we have not had the opportunity to put in play.
  • Customer service is a big plus. As we have transitioned, whenever there has been a question or a tweak that we require, APS is quick to respond and address my concerns.
  • Overall, annual cost of running payroll is comparable to our prior system and others I reviewed. However, we eliminated one full-time position and additional savings in manpower due to reduced data entry. We no longer have to download our weekly reports. They are maintained and not overwritten by new reports each run. The savings and continuity of information all in one place will benefit all of our employees.
  • Provides daily stats to give quick insight to managers on various facets of the business that they did not have before with having to run a specific report.
APS Online is a much simpler system to use for end users and administrators, processing is quicker (immediate), and integration between the various modules is seamless. In the past, HRB talked to Payroll module, Payroll module talked to Etime, however HRB didn't talk to Etime resulting in duplicate entry of data. I have a designated representative that provides assistance without sitting on hold. Overall, I'm thrilled with our decision to switch and expect that the longer I use the system, the more benefit I will be able to get out of it.
250

All hourly employees use APS Online for clocking in/out on a daily basis through various channels: in/out at pc, in/out on mobile solution, in/out at stationary time clock, or electronic time sheet. All methods are approved through their supervisor prior to going to payroll.

All employees submit their Time Off Requests online. All employees are able to view their checks online and we're increasing the number who have direct deposit as well as paperless vouchers.

Finance - we are still in process of creating the interface to go directly into our finance software which will be a huge plus.

The HR Manager and Payroll Coordinator are the primary individuals supporting APS Online. Every system operates a little differently, so understanding how the dots connect to make system work for you is imperative. Being detail oriented to conduct the checks/balances is a requirement. Using a system that is real-time takes a little adjustment, but great once you're there.
  • Ease of use/employee engagement
  • Reduction of labor
  • Reduction of paper
  • Cost
  • Functions
  • We only implemented a few months ago so still working through things.
  • Online reviews
  • Online Open Enrollment
  • Online Policy/handbook
Yes

We replaced ADP Workforce Now, Payroll, and Enterprise Time & Attendance.

Primary reason for looking for alternative was that we lost our Payroll Manager and were looking for a software that was simpler to use and reduce the labor being spent on data entry. Our employees had difficulty logging into ADP making the system ineffectual. Once I was the one calling into Customer Service and sat on hold for an extended period of time, the dedicated representative became a huge factor.

  • Price
  • Product Usability
  • Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
  • Analyst Reports
Initially, the most important factor was saving money. However, in evaluating a number of services, they were all within a $10,000 range so it became usability and recognition of their tax reporting accuracy.
I would get more details on the timeline of the implementation, what would be loaded, and what I would need to do after the installation. I would've pushed back the conversion if it meant my carrier connections and GL structure would have been in place when we went live.
  • Vendor implemented
Yes

First was the loading of general information and payroll comparisons to insure items were flowing and calculating through.

[Next was] loading of accruals and calculation methods.

Next was loading of history which did cause a few issues as some employees had hit the max for social security and state unemployment tax deductions resulting in some errors.

[Next was] carrier connections and benefit programs. Our 401k provider was quite unhappy that this connection was not done prior to conversion.


Change management was minimal
  • Dual state taxation and employees who had reached the maximum for some deductions were impacted. This is still being worked on.
  • 401k and other benefit connections. I did not anticipate I would be manually updating enrollments for 3 months.
  • Accrual balances. For some reason, the accrual calculation did not activate appropriately so had to recalculate and reset employees numerous times.
It would have been helpful to understand the phases of the implementation up front so I could have prepared differently for enrollments, billing, and transfer of information to payroll. At the end of the day, I'm happy with the selection and the system and anticipate I will like it better as we go along. We have done a number of other system implementations in the past few years, and this has been pretty painless, however, I've had a few surprises.
  • Online training
  • Self-taught
No
If I need some special programming regarding interfaces, there would be an extra charge for product development. The resources available to provide solutions are adequate and with exception of some functions that are not native to APS Online, they are fixed very quickly.
There is one primary account representative that we contact on a regular basis. If she is unavailable, there are others on her team. It does seem that our implementation was more complex than others that have been installed, so fixes are not as easily remedied.
Yes
Yes, following some upgrades, there have been a few bugs. They were system wide and fixed quickly.
This is routine. I call with a small tweak and it's done within minutes. If it's a bigger deal, it has been escalated without my asking.
  • Entering data
  • Processing payroll
  • Employee access
  • Time off Request process
  • Management approval setup
  • The need to pull reports from each business entity and then combining [them] on a spreadsheet to get all information in one format.
  • Dual state taxation.
  • Paid Time Off usage. Employees need to put in Time Off Requests 2 days in advance and many employees take a few hours off at end of day, so has to be entered by admin.
  • California payroll processing. System isn't calculating overtime at 8 hours daily as law requires, so this is currently a manual process. We also have a couple of employees whose overtime rate doesn't calculate and carry over correctly, so we must override prior to processing each week.
Yes
The mobile interface is available, however, haven't gotten to the point to give it a whirl.
In general, it's a great system to use. We were looking for simplicity and ease of use and have received raves from our employees in their ability to access and make use of the system. There is still so much more that we have yet to gain as we continue working through each of the modules.

We are using the payroll function and the HR function. We are using it across the entire organization and APS OnLine has allowed us to own our data better. It has been a very useful tool for our operations, payroll, and administrative staff.
  • The report function has become a critical tool in our daily life. APS Online has really created a user friendly system to run reports and create reports.
  • Customer Service -- every connection with APS Online has been great! We use the chat feature, submitted tasks, and contacted our manager. They are quick at resolving our issues and are so warm.
  • New Hire wizard -- makes hiring a breeze!
  • I wish the employee search bar was always open at top so I didn't have to go into the employee consul to search for an employee.
  • As much as I love the report manager, I wish the report builder would allow me to have access to ALL of my information to write a report. As it stands with the 5 main topics, I may have to run two reports to get the information that I need.
  • ACA reporting is helpful but I wish the FTE report would downloadable as a CSV or Excel file.
I would make sure to be very clear about what past history information you needed imported.
I have been thrilled with the Customer Service. I am giving the attention that gives me the confidence that I have a team behind me that wants me to succeed. I love the boutique feeling with APS. I feel like I've joined an exclusive club. We as an organization haven't looked back!

APS is currently being used by the HR department for payroll, benefits and time management.
  • The employees at APS have always responded in a timely manner when I have questions or issues to address.
  • When I am experiencing difficulty with the system and unable to resolve on my own my account a representative will take care of it on her end and follow up to make sure the problem doesn't continue to occur.
  • A lot of items are manually entered especially in the time and attendance system. If the payroll system could automatically pull from time and attendance that would be great.
  • It would help if the Tab or Enter key would take you to the next entry where you could begin typing without having to backspace the keys to the beginning of the box.

Today was our first payday with APS Online. We are using it for payroll, timekeeping and HR throughout the entire organization. The use of the timekeeping module has eliminated the need for manual time sheets and streamlined the whole process for payroll. The HR module will reduce the amount of redundancy and use of various spreadsheets currently used to gather and store information.
  • The customer service with APS has been exceptional.
  • The transition from another payroll provider to APS Online was seamless.
  • The actual processing of the payroll was easy.
  • A suggestion would be within the payroll module - it does not automatically calculate the hourly rate for a salaried employee. The calculation must be done manually and entered into the system.
We are brand new to APS Online but so far I haven't found any scenarios that we haven't been able to figure out with our account manager.

  • The change to APS Online will decrease the time spent preparing and processing payroll. The most important improvement will be the integration with the payroll and HR modules - this will save a tremendous amount of redundant work.
We were previously with ADP and while the functionality improved when we moved to the Workforce Now version, we still wanted an improved and more economical solution for integrating payroll and HR with benefits management. APS Online offers that.

Accounting uses APS Online for processing payroll including a time management package. HR will use APS Online for on-boarding, benefits management and evaluation management. We haven't begun using the HR side yet, but have confidence it will work as well as the payroll.

You would need a basic knowledge of payroll and HR.
  • Streamlining the payroll, timekeeping and HR functions.
  • Reduce the amount of redundant work by having an actual HR module.
  • Improve our on-boarding process by making it mainly electronic.
  • APS Online will be a tremendous help to us with ACA reporting.
  • Notifications on upcoming items that need attention.
  • Keeping track of company assets that are in the possession of our associates.
We just moved to APS Online and are happy so far.
Yes
We previously used ADP for payroll processing. We replaced them for better functionality and better value.

  • Product Usability

  • Vendor Reputation
We wanted personal service from a company that offered a reasonably priced payroll program that integrated with an HR module.
I would have evaluated a greater number of companies that are similar to the one I chose.
  • Vendor implemented
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
Get informed/trained and have your company guidelines outlined prior to implementing the changes.
  • There were no significant issues.
It was a fairly painless process.
I have a dedicated account account representative and she has been very responsive and supportive.
No
All of their support has been good.
  • Loading the time from the timekeeping module to payroll is just the one click.
  • Payroll taxes are handled completely by APS.
  • We are still learning the "request time off" function, but it looks like it will be a time saver to our managers.
  • I'm still learning to navigate the report builder - it's not always clear what I need to pull to get what I need.
Yes, but I don't use it
It is very easy to use and you don't have to drill down through too many screens to get to what you need.
