Experts but for a price

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

they ultimately are our back office for payroll - once we complete payroll in Workday (our HRIS system), we open a ticket for them to settle and remit payments to the employees. They also print and mail our W2s and 1095s (other items they do but we do not use them for that - all Workday related of course)

Pros

  • somewhat quick response
  • able to escalate easier than larger firms like ADP

Cons

  • taxes - was an issue before and we moved to ADP for this
  • turnover a lot - many people change pods on our account so we never really get to know them + not everyone you deal with and ask questions about payroll is knowledgeable

Return on Investment

  • in the beginning, it was helpful to have a Workday expert there to help with many things but as time went on and we became more self-sufficient, not sure the bang for the buck is there

Alternatives Considered

ADP Celergo, ADP Streamline Payroll and ADP Workforce Now

Other Software Used

  • Organization
  • Attention to Detail.

Cons

  • Identified payroll issues (Improved compliance).

Great Partners...Not your average hand off.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

If I have an Earning or Deduction code issue, I know that I can hand this off to members of my pod, and the issues are addressed timely and with care as if it were their own payroll. We are a working team, and I like that relationship.

Pros

  • Communication
  • Partnership
  • Teamwork
  • Best Practices.

Cons

  • Timing of closing tickets.

Return on Investment

  • ROI
  • Relationship Building.
  • Quality of Life improvements as OneSource Virtual is more of an extension of my team.

OneSource Virtual - Our Saviors!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

OneSource Virtual is our managed payroll partner. They handle payroll management, payroll taxes, garnishments, and end-of-year reporting. Both HR and corporate accounting depend on OneSource Virtual as an asset to our organization. In 2019, we did Lunch 16 with Workday and selected OneSource Virtual to be our payroll partners. They help us with everything from tax registration on the payroll tax team to settling payrolls and sending off direct deposits. My payroll partner at OneSource Virtual, Jessica T., is AMAZING, an absolute godsend. She is a rock star that was there to hold my hand through our first payroll in Workday and help me understand the process. OneSource Virtual has been very quick to educate and partner with me to learn processes and my parts of each process. I am so, so grateful for the team at OneSource Virtual. They make work fun, accurate, and educational.

Pros

  • Payroll Processing - we never have late payments.
  • Education - I can ask a question like, "why did this pull into retro" and I will get a quick and accurate response.
  • Always improving - OneSource Virtual is always improving processes and the teams are getting better at what they do.
  • Garnishments - a garnishment team is a well-oiled machine, they know their role and do it well.

Cons

  • Payroll Tax - we had some issues with the payroll tax team early on, but I am confident that they will continue to improve. The payroll tax team and I had a meeting to discuss my disappointments and to set expectations.
  • Communication - sometimes, communications with team members in the ticketing system feel aggressive and demanding rather than helpful.
  • Webinars - I would like more of them!

Return on Investment

  • Running off-cycle payments can be expensive - OneSource Virtual helped us improve our internal payroll processes to audit for inaccuracies that if not corrected would have resulted in off-cycle payments.
