    Square is an amazing platform to have total control over the payroll of all the employees of a company or a specific sector. This platform has a very good functionality to collect exact information on how long each employee works, that is one of its most outstanding characteristics, because it monitors work schedules and overtime and generates detailed reports on the work time of each employee. Square does not allow to schedule payments, that is one of the main problems, however, I consider that it is a very good option for small and medium-sized companies that are looking for a way to have more exact administrative control over the working hours of all their employees. It is a software that works in the cloud, so all the work information that is collected will remain safe without any risk of loss.

    • It's a bit pricey for larger companies at $5 per person paid per month.
    • Has a bit of a learning curve that seems steeper than necessary
    • reports can be confusing at first

    It could use a mobile-friendly interface. Other than that it's a simple layout and non-cluttered which allows you to get done what you need to get done. No unnecessary dodads or distractions.

    I think they have quick and helpful customer service reps, however, I give them a 9 because I have had to wait on hold for long periods of time before.

    I liked patriot, but I found it to be more confusing than Square and took me too much time to setup. I setup Square Payroll in about an hour. I would also say the Square interface made more sense to me. I also like how Square offers more things like benefits, etc. that can be added on.

    • Square Payroll has dramatically reduced the time it takes to process payroll.
    • We could have a faster payroll with the Square POS integration for commission, but that is not something we've implemented yet.
