Seize your day with OnPay
The various reporting options allow me to pull data easily in various formats, so that I can easily obtain the necessary data quickly. When we transitioned to OnPay the system allowed me to send an invite to our employees to complete their information and register for access to their accounts. All of their information from check stubs to W-2s are there for them. If there are ever any changes to address information or direct deposit, the employee is able to handle that themselves. Then as an administrator it allows me to review and approve those changes.
The way that the platform is set-up it also allows me to have an employee's entire HR file electronically. I'm able to upload the necessary documents for tax and benefit purposes as well as additional HR items outside of on/off boarding. They also allow the input for tracking any PTO time and allows for approval by the administrator and adds those items to an internal calendar. It truly is system designed beyond payroll, so it makes this a true compliment to our business needs.
The customer service I receive, if there's a reason to contact a representative, is exceptional. Each team member is well versed in the system, so they're able to resolve any issues or questions quickly. They clearly understand any issues, are well versed in solutions or assistance, are always professional and nice, and feel more like an internal team member vs. an outside vendor. I have yet to work with any support representative that doesn't meet those standards. I also like that you have the option to reach out via phone, email, or chat. A majority of the time, I'm utilizing the chat feature. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for support.
- Customer support
- Platform functionality
- Above standard outside payroll vendor
- Ability to have all HR items electronically
- Reporting and tax filing capabilities
- Ability to customize my platform
- Partner with insurance companies to handle WC
- You can add additional additions or benefit items such as a car allowance. The process required me to contact a representative as that wasn't as easy to navigate.
- The process for handling additional withholdings for pre-payed taxes required support to ensure the calculations were accurate.
- Process for on-boarding is a little tricky if you don't start the process from the point of hire. You can add various things easily but it reflects differently in terms of completion of an Employee file.
One of our employees had a variance in his check between payroll cycles. After reaching out to Patrick, he was able to quickly identify that the variance was due to a change in withholdings. Our employee didn't remember making any changes, so Patrick did a bit more research to confirm what may have changed. After he completed his research, he discovered that with the way the tax forms are completed now, when he updated his profile to married, it changed that setting for him. He confirmed this information within an hour of our initial interaction and it was answered clearly and concisely.

Payroll supported by real people!
Additionally, they brought over our payroll amounts from earlier in the year, so we only had to issue one set of W-2s, not one from each system, as other payroll solutions have made us do. We have also used OnPay for the paid time off calculation and reporting. They have been accurate in calculating (a problem we had with other payroll companies). The employee portal makes it easy to request time off, or check balances. We have also begun using some other options to store employee or company documents in OnPay. This is still a work in progress for us in determining what should be posted there, but it makes it easy to find and makes sure everyone has access to it.
