Overall Satisfaction with Namely

I use Namely to process the payroll for our company. We are a semi-monthly company with both salaried and hourly employees. We are in multiple different states, with most of our employees working remotely. It addresses those needs pertaining to different state taxes and required reporting. It is very simple to set up, edit, or adjust all those elements, which saves me a ton of time. I would recommend this product for ease on the user end for both myself and my employees. We have limited employee self-service, which is also a time saver for myself and our HR department.

  • Reporting capabilities allows me to provide information very quickly.
  • Employee self serve saves time for both HR and Payroll.
UKG has many bells and whistles that may sound awesome, yet they are not always necessary to complete the tasks necessary. Sometimes less is more. Suppose you make a product so complex in some areas you lose the ease of use. I like that I was able to jump right into using this product with minimal training time.
I was not part of the implementation.
It is very simple to use for myself, the HR team, and our employees. I find the payroll process very user-friendly. Reporting is simple to navigate and produce the required information requested. I know our employees enjoy the self-service feature and use it on a regular basis, which saves me time.
I had never heard of Namely prior to coming to this company. But was quite surprised at how user-friendly it is. Customer service is top-notch. I rarely have to wait for answers to inquiries or issues. If I call pertaining to how to do something, they always have detailed instructions on the process. You also have the ability to create cases for those items that are not time-sensitive. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
