  • Communication - From my first call I was so impressed at the level of care and compassion OnPay expressed. I was assigned specific employees who were available in the sign up process to walk me through each step and to answer all my questions. I know some of my questions were probably "stupid" but OnPay never minded answering them and I was always treated with respect.
  • On Boarding - The nightmare I had experienced with a competitor became a dream with OnPay. They said if I would authorize them to sign onto my account they would take care of the sign up process. And they did!!! They also did it correctly. All of the numbers and information was error free. The only information I was required was input was direct deposit bank information.
  • Resolving an Issue - I have only had one issue that needed to be resolved. The person I talked to had to check with another person for an answer but she stayed on the line with me to make sure the problem was resolved. Then I received a follow up email outlining exactly what action they had taken.
  • Ease of using the website - I can find what I am looking for! I like the verification code. And every time I sign on to my account the red heart by our company name makes me smile.
  • I would love to have the option of auto payroll. But everything else is so good this isn't a game changer.
  • Would like to have a shorter advance timeline of submission.

  • OnPay responds promptly and informatively to questions we have had over our taxation requirements.
  • OnPay provides a simple-to-use interface for our bi-monthly PayRoll
  • OnPay has responded informatively over letters received from the IRS and has given us piece of mind that the regular tax payments, both state ad federal, are being handled correctly by the OnPay team.
  • It would be god for OnPay to provide regular email updates that state and federal tax payments have been made.
  • While it is possible to find out, by scrolling through various links on the website, whether OnPay has made critical state and federal tax payments, it is often had to find where to look if you are not full conversant with the tax code language.
  • It would be good to be able to execute payroll in advance, in cases where the person doing payroll goes on vacation for longer than a couple weeks. Currently, OnPay only allows you to execute payroll for a current period, not a future period.

  • Relatively low payroll costs as there is a base fee plus an additional fee for each person being paid
  • The monthly fees pay includes all payroll tax return filings, no additional fees charged later
  • Customer support has been responsive though there appears to be cutback in the number of representatives in recent years. Before there was more online chats. Recent there have been more email response
  • I would like to enter some payroll information in advance of the current payroll runs
  • Adding and changing administrators was a bit cumbersome and took several days
  • It works fine for a small number of people being paid if they can be seen on one screen but it might be cumbersome with more than about 10 people. Probably needs a better or different procedure with more people.

  • Providing a simple method of adding new employees.
  • Payroll day is not something I dread with OnPay's simple step-by-step guidance.
  • Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly taxes are either paid or set aside easily so I can make those payments.
  • Year-end w2's and 1099's are available and easy to create and provide to employees and contractors.
  • Bot does not always understand detailed questions.
  • Quicker access to a live person.
  • Sometimes, but not often, we are sent to a wrong person to answer a question.

  • 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.

  • Facilitates direct deposit and payroll communications to my employees.
  • They provide a self-serve portal for employees to gather information, forms, and tax documents.
  • Provides a neat secure online portal for management to maintain records protecting employees' PII.
  • There are some areas in the UI that, unless you know where to "hover your mouse", are not intuitive.
  • Payroll direct deposits take two days, which impacts my younger employees getting access to their money to pay bills.
