APS OnLine Review

Score 4 out of 10
Vetted Review

  • Allows running different reports for separate time periods.
  • Gives the option of seeing multiple company codes in one place.
  • Gives options of information to be included or excluded in reports.
  • The download (pdf or txt) reports generated do not create a separate tab. Therefore, you have to start over in the system when running multiple reports.
  • Setting up GL coding is very cumbersome; especially when you have multiple locations.
  • Not all set up functions or reporting functions are user friendly or intuitive.

  • Generates extremely useful reports
  • Customer service is great
  • Simplifies processing payroll
  • The journal entry export that APS OnLine produces takes a little tinkering with in order to format it so we can upload it to our accounting software, but APS has been very helpful in helping us make those adjustments.

  • Do not have to worry about Taxes and reporting.
  • Benefits connection is good. Like the efficiency of adding new employee once and enrolling automatically with insurance carrier.
  • Reporting: wish it was more user friendly. Maybe establish "standard" reports so I could just select a report.
  • Would like to see the ability to see pay increase progression by employee.
  • Improve the ease of carrier connection. Confirmation when enrollment/termination is transmitted to insurance carrier.
  • Would like ability to run a attendance calendar for each employee reflecting tardies, absentees (vac, sick, any reason) all in one report.
  • Would like ability to pull up one employee from employee list and see a snapshot of the employee.
  • Would like ability to do bulk pay rate changes instead of opening up every employee individually. Either by across the board % increase or individual rates.

APS makes payroll easy

  • They have recently redesigned their web site to become more user friendly.
  • The interface is easy to navigate and logical.
  • If there ever is a question, they are very available by phone for immediate assistance.
  • There have been some growing pains in the past with servers going down while trying to process payroll, but we were given extended time to process.
  • We had had quite a few different account managers over a short period of time, but ultimately, this doesn't really affect our service.

APS - Second to None

Score 10 out of 10

  • Being in the accounting department, my job starts after payroll has been processed. In comparison to previous payroll companies we've used, APS has been the best software for its reporting features. There is a general ledger module along with an export feature compatible with our accounting software.
  • The report writer is easy to use and if a report can't be created, they can create one for you.
  • AND the support staff is second to none.
  • In my department, I haven't had any problems that needed improvement.

  • CUSTOMER SERVICE. They are so helpful and you get a really quick response. You don't ever sit on hold for hours on end and you get the RIGHT answer or resolution to your problem. We previously had ADP which was a nightmare so APS Online customer service has made our bi-weekly payroll runs a breeze.
  • Customizable - we were able to make any adjustments as needed to our different departments, types of rates, types of vacation accruals etc. With the great customer service we can explain exactly what needs to change and they take care of it right away.
  • Transition from your old provider - APS Online worked with us and pulled in all of our old information. It made our workload a lot easier. They even helped pull reports for us to use from our old system which has helped us complete various workers comp audits.
  • Reporting - through APS Online you can create SO many custom reports. Its easy to use and very intuitive.
  • State by state rules - In a few states that we work in they have very strict rules on overtime, sick leave, etc and APS didn't have the time and attendance pre-configured correctly for these. Their development team has really worked with us to handle it but it just took a bit longer. Overall though they have been very upfront about it and have been able to make the necessary changes.
  • No scheduling - I think this is something in development right now but I know that other larger companies do have this capability. It would be great to have but it truly hasn't "hurt" our ability to do payroll.

  • Reports with details for gross payroll expense by the month comes in very handy for your financial department.
  • Employee turnover, overtime accumulated in a weekly period, and new hires by department lets me know my staffing capabilities.
  • Building/Creating reports gives you the capabilities to do just that - build or create a report to your needs, which in some situations can be a chore if you are given a task and try to copy and paste into an Excel sheet...there's no need to with this system.
  • The only report I have had issues with is when it comes to accrued payroll, even in build/create report had issues finding data and dates needed to do.
