It is straightforward and easy to navigate. Users can manage their own password information, but administration can easily help out when the need arises. > > **Cons**: We would like to see some formatting options for the email notifications. Options for Bold, Italics, and colors along with possibly a few font options would be nice in order to draw attention to certain points in the notification. It is customizable as far as wording, but nothing that draws your attention. > > InStaff has been an excellent platform for helping us solve our paystub delivery dilemma. Being new to direct deposited payroll we did not have an efficient means of getting paystubs to our employees in a timely manner. We have only used the product for a couple of month's, but things are working well. We have gotten nothing but positive feedback. ----- ### "Great Product\!" — 4.0/5 > **Emily** | *21 March 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can upload payroll documents that aren't just paystubs, whereas other companies don't allow it. Simple solutions for electronic payroll documents. Company directory and announcements are helpful. > > **Cons**: Glitches in sending notifications, not many reporting options, not enough notification email templates, dashboard doesn't show full announcements (has to be expanded to view so employees don't see announcement). > > Mostly positive. Customer support is very helpful and professional. ----- ### "Needs some things changed" — 2.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *17 December 2021* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy set up to log in and view paystubs. I dont like that I cant lable what I am up\[loading htough and seperate by folder > > **Cons**: YOU HAVE TO FILTER OUT TERMED PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE TIME. We have high turnover and every time you need to manage a user you have to filter out the termed. This is way too time consuming > > needs changes for sure ----- ### "Going from physical to electronic" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *3 April 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instaff is easy to use and has a very straightforward payment system. Their portal is easy to navigate and use. Their customer support was very communicative every time we contacted them. > > **Cons**: They could provide more quality of life options like sorting things by date, etc. in their portal. There's not much to dislike for what we use Instaff for. > > Instaff helped our company go from physical paystubs for 50+ employees to electronic upload which freed up time and allowed us to simplify things. Their support made the change seamless\! ----- ### "Ease of Instaff" — 5.0/5 > **LaQuetta** | *27 March 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instaff is very user friendly. All our the companies that we imported into the system seem to love the ease of the system. > > **Cons**: We had a little trouble when it came down to uploaded documents. We had several different documents that were not formatted correctly at first but our Instaff support team handled the problem quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/423469/instaff?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/423469/instaff) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
