### "Not a great product"

June 26, 2018

3.0

Pros

The price was fair for what you receive. There are some good reports that are useful for monthly payrolls, and year end reporting.

Cons

Customer service was the worst, and overall very limited reporting capabilities. As soon as our first year end, I pulled the plug on Primepay.

### "Easy to navigate through"

October 24, 2018

5.0

Using SyncHR has been so much easier to use than our previous payroll system.

Pros

My favorite thing about SyncHR is that it is so easy to navigate through. If you have something that needs your immediate attention, there is a "Task" button to let you know that you have something that needs your immediate attention. And you can sync your notifications from SyncHR to your personal email or work email. I love it.

Cons

There is literally nothing that I dislike about SyncHR.

### "Got the job done. Never blown away by the User Interface"

February 22, 2018

3.0

Pros

It was a simple interface that was easy to navigate. I never had any issues getting to the information that I needed to get to.

Cons

It did seem like it was outdated on my last visit. We've moved to another software that was more modern.

### "Great For Small Business"

December 18, 2018

4.0

I’ve been a proud customer for over 3 years. Really enjoy the customer service and support. I sleep better at night knowing they take care of everything.

Pros

I love the customer service and hands on approach to providing payroll services. Having access to reports and documents is a plus.

Cons

The online portal could use a make over. It should be more user friendly and easier to use.

### "User Friendly Payroll Company"

August 2, 2019

5.0

Customer service is exceptional for any problems that may arise.

Pros

The software is very easy to use, very easy to navigate through for information and super easy to input payroll. The checks come into my office the very next day and all the direct deposits transfer perfectly.

Cons

The only thing I can say negatively is the reporting. I wish there was an instant work comp payroll report that is more friendly for date ranges for my audits.

### "Great for employee benefits"

December 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

I'm an end user, and I love how easy it is for me to manage my FSA account. Being able to upload receipts through the mobile app is a life-saver, and I love it that I can enroll for the upcoming year on my own through the website vs. having to fill out paperwork and go through HR.

Cons

My one and only complaint is a minor one - I wish the mobile app was set up to allow fingerprint sign-in.

December 15, 2021

Terrible! Can't log in more than half the time!!

Pros

Nothing! The site is down more than it is working!

### "Awesome"

January 23, 2018

5.0

Knowing that our employees information is secure and accurate for income and taxes.

Pros

the fact that it is develope with the user in mind as to navigating and the layout of functions. Everything to do with payroll and ACA reporting is made for those that work with it daily.

Cons

There is probably only one thing I would change and that is employer section that allows you to change or update bulk information for employees.

### "Most frusterating experience ever"

June 4, 2020

1.0

None I created problems by using Prime pay

Pros

I do not have anything good to say about this software.

Cons

1-833-YOU-MATTER This customer service number does not even dial out. Obviously you as a customer do not matter enough to provide you with a working customer service phone number. I do not and have not ever had access to my pay stub thru Prime Pay. I received emails but was never able to log in and view my own pay check. Do not use this sight if you have a problem no one will help you.

### "Good news, bad news."

April 3, 2021

2.0

When I was able to log in, it was fine. Now that it won't co-operate, it's not.

Pros

I like the way it enabled me to view my records at all of the locations in the archdiocese where I worked. Very convenient -- when the program used to let me in.

Cons

The "forgot my password" feature doesn't work. When it rejected the password I've used for the past few months, it sends me an e-mail with a link. When I clicked on the link, all it does is send me back to the login page, where my only option is to click on "forgot my password," get another email, click on the enclosed link, and have it send me back to the login page. As it turns out, you installed an endless loop in your software.

### "Superior service & products"

January 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

User friendly and easily navigated employer portal. Techs are always willing to assist with resolving payroll employee and employer issues. I am really impressed with PrimePay Blog topics and they are relate-able to my job and payroll. I seldom experience any wait time for responses to my questions and the Techs stay with me until I understand the concepts and PrimePay requirements. Tech demonstrate an extreme amount of patience and attention to my company's concerns. They listen are consistently inquiring if my company needs clarification on any specific issues.

Cons

Sometimes when I haven't visited a particular area or subject or an extended period of time I have to reach out to my Tech. I could avoid wasting their time and effort if there were tutorials to let users kn ow of new or updated information as it relates to the PrimePay online Employer Portal.

### "PrimePay is a good value"

February 21, 2019

5.0

PrimePay has been processing our payroll and filing our taxes for several years with no issues. On rare occasions, I have needed to contact customer service and each time I was helped quickly and effectively.

Pros

PrimePay's software is easy to use and it allows me to process payroll quickly and reliably.

Cons

The only thing I would change is to have the ability to process payroll immediately 24/7.

### "password reset DOES NOT Work"

January 11, 2022

1.0

Was great until the fall of 2021. Has been terrible since.

Pros

Pretty good WHEN I can access the my pay statements.

Cons

I have been trying to access my account for over 3 months and quit trying. Password reset is a JOKE. The link I received to reset my password defaults to the login screen with no way to set up a new password. My account as a result locks up.

### "The best payroll service ever"

December 18, 2018

5.0

PrimePay is helpful and responsive to my needs. It doesn't matter if you have one employee or hundreds, they treat everyone with respect.

Pros

The software is easy to use and there is a separate portal for the employees

Cons

There is a learning curve, but technical support was very helpful.

August 31, 2021

2.0

Only portion to get my pay stubs.

Pros

Nothing. I have never been able to use it

Cons

Customer service never calls me back. Instructions provided to our manager does not match what is needed to log into the portal. I have NEVER been able to log into the portal to request vacation time. I always have to contact our HR department and they get so frustrated it is easier for them just to log in as an admin and do the request for me.

### "Inept - overpaid an employee with no explanation as to why and took too long to return the money!"

April 22, 2021

2.0

Terrible customer service when presented with a serious issue. Assigned payroll specialist changed 3-4 times over the couple of years we used them. Not a customer friendly company.

Pros

They processed payroll. Nothing fantastic about the software at all.

Cons

They overpaid a single employee by thousands one time, then "couldn't" return the money for days. It was a disaster for our small business. And tax withdrawals didn't come back into our account for even longer.

### "Our transition from a larger/more expensive payroll organization couldn't have been more smooth. "

January 23, 2018

5.0

Using this software really frees up payroll processing time. It's simple and easy to use and it's only just a few clicks in order to successfully transmit payroll each pay period.

Pros

We started off with a great experience with our sales rep and customer service took right over with excellent service. There seemed to be no errors, problems, or issues right from the very beginning. Our conversion rep was responsive and resolved any issues that I brought forth immediately. Payroll processing days couldn't be more easy. A few simple clicks and I'm ready to submit. The entire process is simple and takes up virtually so little time.

Cons

I struggle with the reports section. When I want to print out a report, it seems to take me a much longer time as the screens are not very easy to look at and quickly understand. I find the report not generating immediately, but rather queuing, then getting an email to let me know it's ready a bit distracting.
