Overall Satisfaction with APS Payroll
We utilize APS Payroll & APS Hire. It is our HRIS, ATS, Payroll & eSelfServe system. My HR team utilizes the payroll system to process payroll and benefits on a weekly basis. My recruiting team utilizes the APS Hire system on a daily basis. All of our employees utilize eSelfServe to manage their time clocks, submit time-off requests and enroll in benefits. Overall APS Payroll I would rate as a 7 out of 10 for a payroll system. It is fairly user friendly and does most payroll tasks. The system is limited on what it can do. You can't pro rate pay automatically and its reporting is somewhat limited. Setting up a benefits file feed can be tough for the system, but their team is very helpful.
APS Hire I would rate as a 5 out of 10. It is a very glitchy system and has very limited options. eSelfServe is a good system that I would rate 9 out of 10. It has all of the necessary options, but it is also very easy to navigate. Overall I feel that APS is good system for a small to medium size company, but can be outgrown due to the lack of depth and efficiency it needs for a larger company. The cost is affordable which is also a factor in why you may choose it versus other options that are better quality.

- We have a fair cost savings for how the program performs.
I believe APS is better than Paychex as mid-tier provider. I believe Paycor is not as good due to the cost and functioning drastically different. ADP is terrible in comparison to anything due to it lacking customizability and support for smaller and mid-tier clients. APS is truly the best option from what I have utilized in the past.
