Overall Satisfaction with PeopleGuru

We use PeopleGuru to run payroll for approximately 125 employees biweekly. We also use the time and attendance and PTO functions.

Pros

  • They work with the cannabis industry
  • The mobile app saves us from having time clocks or paper timecards

Cons

  • This isn't a top-tier payroll system and it sometimes shows
  • Some of the screens take a long time to process
  • Why do they call direct deposits "net pays"?
  • This is a payroll system. It does what it needs to do. I can't calculate the ROI of having it vs. not having it because not having a payroll system is a dealbreaker in 2022.
I haven't found it exceptionally configurable, except that I have some modules turned on, and some are off. But I use everything out of the box and haven't configured it to be customized.
PeopleGuru is better than other cannabis-friendly payroll systems, like CheckWriters or MyPaperlessOffice (companies so small they were not available in your dropdown). It is not as good as bigger companies that are not cannabis-friendly, like ADP or Paylocity. ADP is super expensive but given the choice I would be with Paylocity over PeopleGuru.
