The entire process is streamlined, the interface is user-friendly, and the help desk has been there every step. Today's timekeeping systems are reliable and precise. Employees now have a clearer picture of their organization's context and potential for advancement. > > **Cons**: This system ushers in a new era in human resources operations in the digital realm. It takes a lot of effort and modification to get a handle on how the system works. Although I realize that various people have varying preferred modes of instruction, I thought it was crucial to have someone to discuss vital topics like payroll and evaluation. ----- ### "Great Software and even better service." — 5.0/5 > **Sherry** | *12 July 2016* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Implementation and Service model is the best I have ever come across. Robust and configurable system that allows you to tailor it to your specific business process's. Worth every penny spent when looking at both the service and the software. Cant believe we waiting as long as we did to move from the large competitors. > > **Cons**: Currently in the U.S for payroll. They said they are working on rolling out Canadian but as of yet they do not offer it. If you have a multi-national business, depending on how you structure the business they may not be the best. At times the amount that can be configured can seem overwhelming. They do a great job of explaining and doing the configuration for you but there were times when we became overwhelmed with which decision we actually wanted. > > As everyone knows payroll and HRIS conversions can be daunting to say the least. The team at ONEMINT was incredible. They went over the top to ensure that the workload of that conversion fell on them and not us. To be honest it was a bit scary how much they did as it felt as though we had not made much progress and next thing I know we are training on our system with all build, configuration and data loaded and I had not lifted a finger. Because of their implementation and service model it allowed for me and my team to continue to focus on our business and not on this project. The software is incredibly flexible and we were able to customize its workflows and process's to mirror and automate that of our business. We have already seen large savings of new operational efficiencies and expect to continue to see more as we become more familiar with the software and its robust capabilities. ----- ### "Mr" — 4.0/5 > **Brandon** | *14 February 2018* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: OneMint was the most robust and encompassing application I found when seeking an HR Suite. Ultimately I wanted as many functions under a single application as possible. OneMint has everything from ATS and onboarding to performance and payroll. > > **Cons**: As one might expect since they have so much functionality, they are not the 'best in breed' at any one particular function. This is understandable. However, there are some aspects that I find a bit lacking from what you would expect. This is notably the ATS and time/attendance, especially in terms of scheduling. > > I am estatic that I found an HR Suite that covers so many aspects of the employee lifecycle. The catch 22 is that it's incredibly customizable. This is great, in theory, but also means that it takes a long time to fully understand how to use, customize and configure the software. ----- ### "PayNW - Gestión de Recursos Humanos" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 December 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Este software, es muy útil para la gestión de recursos humanos, ya que, por ejemplo, tiene una gran facilidad para comprobar las nominas de los trabajadores. También, se ha optimizado todas las demás funcionalidades que ofrece. En definitiva, es muy flexible para la empresa. > > **Cons**: Para los nuevos usuarios al principio es un poco complejo saber como funciona, pero conforme vas investigando y analizando su uso, se maneja fácil. > > En general, esta aplicación, es muy buena aunque al principio cueste un poco manejarla. Ideal para pequeñas y medianas empresas. ----- ### "Phenomenal HR/Payroll System, Even Better Support\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *12 August 2016* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've been able to automate hiring and benefits requests. Time recording has become more accurate and consistent. Our company structure is better defined, employees can see what opportunities exist within the company and what comes next. > > **Cons**: API setup is expensive, but the custom reporting has allowed us to bypass this requirement for now. > > This satisfies all of our HR, Payroll, and Recruitment needs. Everything is automated, the workflow is intuitive, the support team has walked us through every step. I could not recommend a better piece of software to make our HR processes effortlessly consistent. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/72827/paynorthwest?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/72827/paynorthwest) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
