Overall Satisfaction with UZIO
After a disappointing (and expensive) experience with another HRIS provider, we were relieved to find UZIO. They are willing and able to work with us as a cannabis business. From day one, the team at UZIO has been a pleasure to work with.
The migration process was incredibly smooth, and their support team is very responsive and helpful. Questions are addressed quickly and issues are resolved efficiently.
We appreciate UZIO’s commitment to continuous improvement and their openness to hearing user feedback on what is working and what could be changed for better productivity. They are regularly adding new features, updating existing processes, and making the system even more intuitive and efficient.
For any cannabis company, we highly recommend UZIO. They’ve made our transition seamless and our HR operations far easier to manage.

Pros
- Payroll - allows unlimited payroll runs with no extra fee!
- AI Co-pilot helps create reports and gathers information easily.
- The UZIO team listens to our feedback!
Cons
- We have a shift that crosses midnight and the system resets OT calculation when it becomes a new day, but in CA OT is calculated on hours worked and doesn’t split a shift at midnight for OT purposes. So far they have been unable to address this as it's not an issue in other states.
- Holiday Pay has been an issue because of our policy - too many changing variables to create a process. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust holiday pay on the employee's timesheet. That would be the simplest solution but so far that hasn't happened.
- Non-US Citizen beneficiary. This is not an option when electing benefits. Not a big deal unless you have employees with families abroad. We had one and we created a work around.
- Everything has to be downloaded. You cannot click on an employee's pay stub (for example) and view it within UZIO. It must be downloaded to your computer. Not a big deal - just takes more time and more files to delete on your computer.
- UZIO has had a positive impact on the time it takes to onboard/offboard or complete payroll.
- UZIO is much more affordable that some of the other HRIS systems.
- The only negative is that they do not have a performance mgmt system.
Compared to QuickBooks Online (QBO), UZIO has been a game changer. QBO refused to process our payroll due to our industry (cannabis), and even their accounting platform often takes ages to load. UZIO, on the other hand, runs quickly, has had no significant downtime from bugs or maintenance, and is far more affordable. The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy for both our HR staff and employees to use.
