Overall Satisfaction with Sage HRMS

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage HRMS across the organization for HR management, payroll processing and tax return filings. It helps us to manage our employees at 10 different locations in multiple states. We use it for weekly, biweekly and monthly payroll. It has helped us streamline the process for filing taxes and has given our users the opportunity to use a self-service portal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

We use the product to process weekly, biweekly and monthly payroll. It is easy to use for each type.
It manage HR and payroll data for our employees at 10 different locations in multiple states.
It streamlines the process for filing taxes. Rather than having to print reports, reenter data and file returns on external sites, I can process returns with a couple clicks of the mouse.

Cons

We changed our chart of accounts. The system does not allow you to change the numbering format, so we had to start over with new databases.
The tax return portion of the software does not file local taxes. We would definitely like to see this functionality in the future.
The payroll piece does not handle complicated move up and move downs for union pay. This could definitely be improved upon.

Return on Investment

Sage HRMS allowed us to manage payroll in house.
It was disappointing that we had to use an outside vendor to file and pay our withholding tax.
Ultimately, the decision was made to outsource payroll after using HRMS for 3 years.

Alternatives Considered

Paycor

I currently use Paycor. It is a good platform for the organization. Sage HRMS was good software, but didn't support some of the more quirkier states like PA and IN for payroll. Paycor had similar constraints. Neither is a great fit if you are doing business across multiple complicated states.

Likelihood to Recommend

Sage [HRMS] is great for single entities with just a few or numerous employees. I don't think we set the system up correctly for Common Paymaster though, so it makes it tougher for us to use now. We are going to start the system over at the beginning of the year to get rid of all the bugs we built into our database the first time around.
