Quickbooks Paytoll
Pretty good payroll processer. It has a lot of customizable options, and is fairly easy to set up and use. Some features are not the best working, and support can often be lacking.
Pros
Mostly easy to use, very customizable and has multiple options for pay types
Cons
Often base overtime pay on the prevailing wage rate instead of the regular OT rate. Sometimes can be "clunky" to enter information

Straightforward for the most part, could be simpler in some areas
Generally overall a good experience. I no longer use this because I no longer need to manage my own payroll, however because of how simple the platform was in general, and for headline figures, I would use it again.
Pros
Typically it is easier to use than other market leaders. Once you are familiar with the platform it is easy to find what you need, the inclusion of a bookmarking/favourites feature helps with this also.
Cons
On some aspects of Payroll, it seemed to over complicate the process, such as whenever you made changes to an employee, the process could be simplified to be more streamline and also less jargon and more helpful tips and text for functions relating to payroll specifically such as NI rates etc.

QuickBooks Payroll Should Have Their License Revoked
We have been using QuickBooks online payroll for almost 3 years now. In July of this year, we discovered issues with accrual calculations and syncing errors. Not only has this issue not been fixed 4 months later, but we have now discovered system calculations have been incorrect for some time, shorting our employees of vacation earnings. While their engineers have been working on a fix, they managed to delete our payroll data, which they have not been able to recover. In over 20 years in the financial industry, I have never experienced or heard of anything like this. The most alarming part is that they show little concern or urgency in correcting this issue. They should not be able to sell or operate a malfunctioning financial system and deserve to have their business license revoked. Not only will we be moving to a new system asap, but we will also be reporting them to the Canadian Financial Consumer Agency. Considering QuickBooks is one of the largest accounting systems in the world, it is shocking they can operate such a flawed system. STAY AWAY!!!!
Pros
Absolutely nothing! This system and their constant updates is full or errors.
Cons
Everything! We have uncovered a disaster issue noted in detail below.

AVOID at all costs
I had an issue arise in May of 2024. I promptly contacted support and was told it would be fixed. It was not. The problem remained through September of 2024, despite over a dozen conversation I had with their support team. I ultimately canceled my subscription and hired a local payroll company instead.
Pros
QuickBooks Payroll was fine until I needed support. At that point, it was cumbersome and frustrating to deal with agent after agent over multiple tickets and months to address the issue, which was never ultimately resolved.
Cons
Their support is completely lacking. If you need any level of professional service, work with a payroll company directly. I literally spend hours of my time talking and chatting with their support to address what they described as a "software issue" with my account.

Great affordable option
Overall, we have been pleased with the cost, functionality and ease of use. Using Quick Books payroll has allowed for more productivity and reliable, timely financial reports, docs, budgeting, etc.

QuickBooks Payroll has allowed our financial managment team to pass along tasks, increasing productivity. By freeing up our accounting team, we are able to accomplish more with our time. This is thanks to the ease of of use for this payroll service.
Cons
To reitterate, we find value in the ease of function. Meaning, we are not spending excessive time training our accountants to use our payroll systems.

QuickBooks Payroll: Streamlining Small Business Payroll and Tax Management
My overall experience with QuickBooks Payroll has been positive. The seamless integration with QuickBooks Online, comprehensive tax compliance features, and user-friendly interface have made managing payroll and tax processes efficient. However, the additional cost for full-service payroll and the need to manually handle local tax filing could be less convenient for some users.
Pros
I found QuickBooks Payroll particularly impressive for its seamless integration with QuickBooks Online for accounting, comprehensive tax compliance features, and user-friendly interface for managing payroll and tax processes efficiently.
Cons
While QuickBooks Payroll offers comprehensive features, some users may find the additional cost for full-service payroll and the need to manually handle local tax filing to be less convenient.

Quickbooks Payroll
It took some time to remember to change the pay period, but after a few times of doing payroll under the incorrect pay period I now remember
Pros
Easy to use. Adjusting amounts, adding, editing employees - all done without difficulty
Cons
Always have to change the dates at the top. If the pay period ends on Sunday, when I go in on Monday to complete time, it automatically gives you the current pay period, but I’m entering the time for the pay period that just ended

The best site for payroll and tax help!
Pros
I enjoy everything about QuickBooks online payroll. It sends me reminders each week to complete payroll for the week, helps me keep track of important tax and banking information, and how much will be taken out each week/month for taxes and payroll. My employees also appreciate that they get an email sent as soon as I complete payroll with how much they will be getting paid that week.
Cons
There is not anything yet that I dislike about QuickBooks payroll! My employees and myself appreciate this site. It is laid out great and is very use to access/use.

Easy to use but also easy to mess up!
Makes payroll very easy but you do need to know what you are doing.
Pros
I like that everything is filed and copies of all the filings are in one place on your QB file. I also like that they show upcoming due dates.
Cons
Though QB payroll makes it easy to file everything, you need to make sure you set everything up correctly. You have to do some homework on your end to make sure you fully understand all your obligations because some taxes are not handle completely by QB like state unemployment or local taxes.

Features and functions
Pros
This platform doesn't limit the amount of persons you can direct pay at once. Also, this provides the deduction of tax and all deductions to be setup and done all at once. This also provides deductions from all states even if it's a remote job.
Cons
The process of completing payroll via platform can be a bit tedious if not tech savy.

Pros
It is convenient to have the option for direct deposit. QB compares the last check to this one. I have the option to keep track of time, but I have only have one employee so I don't use it currently.
Cons
The only thing I don't like is that no matter how many times I set the payroll taxes to be quarterly. They still show up monthly and say that I am late for payment.

If you want more time to do other tasks - then utilize QB Payroll!
Business owner likes the cost effectiveness and the timely manner in which payroll reporting and taxes are filed on company's behalf. Personally, as the payroll processor, it makes my task time next to nothing to process payroll for the staff. The staff is gracious for the ease of their direct deposits as well as their own portal to retrieve their paystubs and payroll information.
Pros
Ease and flow of understanding. I personally have done payroll for more than 25 years, but even someone who has no payroll experience can be a payroll wizard with Quickbooks payroll processing!
Cons
That previous employers didn't utilize it. It can assist the payroll administrator position and hold hands beautifully.
