EPAY Systems vs. Netchex

It is well suited for Payroll needs. I cannot speak top other aspects, however, they do provide great customer service and the system is easy to utilize for end users.

I LOVE THE EASE OF THE TIMECLOCK AND PULLING INTO PAYROLL. PREVIOUSLY I HAD TIME CLOCK ON MY DMS AND PAYROLL THROUGH PAYCHEX. IT DIDNT INTEGRATE SO I HAD TO KEY IN EVERY SINGLE TIMESHEET....THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER. ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS ONCE YOU START PAYROLL IF SOMEONE TIME HAS TO BE FIXED YOU HAVE TO DELETE AND START OVER. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WHICH IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM.

• I believe the ONLY thing EPAY does well is lie.
• In my experience, they are Terrible, and nothing works well at all.

• My Netchex Service Team is very responsive and friendly. They are willing and able to spend the amount of time needed on one call to troubleshoot most problems or answer questions.
• Their recent updates to the employee dashboard have been well-received by our seasonal team. Employees are able to quickly find what they are looking for which has minimized the amount of requests that my team receives regarding questions on pay or updating personal information.
• Online W-2 forms have been a game-changer for us since moving to Netchex. Our staff tend to move around a lot and most do not get the mailed copy of their W-2. The electronic consent has saved me hours and hours of time.

• All-time punches are rounded to 15-minute intervals which can skew accurate break times.
• Slow lading or occasional lags due to server overload.
• Sync errors cause occasional overlapping punches.

• Support needs to be available more times than just normal business hours.
• Tax support is basically non-existent. This seems that it should be TOP NOTCH.
• Some of the functionality of the Netchex program could be tweaked. It is not a keyboard friendly program at all. Must mouse your way through. When the program times out, it takes 2 to 3 screens before it really logs you out.
• When submitting from Netchex to Dealertrack, it would be nice to show the payroll # or payroll date that has been submitted. Currently once you hit submit, the screen reverts back to the last successful payroll submit. This process is just a bit confusing, especially for new users.

Easy to work with.

Because I can't give it a Zero, I believe EPAY Systems is the most senseless system I have ever used. I worked on systems over 25 years ago that were better. In my opinion, there is no logic to the programming; the system is unbelievably SLOW, and there and hundreds of problems every week. And major ones that they will not or can not correct. For example, we can not file or access employee records in the system as it can take longer than 10 minutes to view or load one document for one employee - IF the system allows you to get that far, which it usually doesn't.

Very user friendly and great interface.

I feel the support is terrible. We have an outsourced support purpose who doesn't understand the EPAY Systems or our company, [removed], will only answer the first thing mentioned even if there is an entire list. Then the answer does not solve the 1st problem on the list or any other and has no idea how to help us. We have requested a replacement and were told we would get one, then told later we would not. I believe while the support person is nice, I believe they were not trained or supported on their end, and effectiveness is probably 1% or less, takes forever, and is only on the minor issues.

The first line CE team is phenomenal. They are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. We have had less luck with the responsiveness of the tax department. However, their response time has improved drastically over the past year.

Implementation took some time but was pretty much error free.

EPAY is completely digital. There are no paper documents used. EPAY has a platform for the client. The client can actually log in and see their invoice and make changes to their payment method. Originally, we were using our internal company fee-charging service. This service was paper-based and required manual entry into the tracking system. There were no automatic follow-up emails to unpaid accounts. Tracking the total fees charged was arduous and EPAY makes it simple and clean.

Netchex is much more user-friendly and much more of a robust payroll system. Netchex also takes care of everything regarding employees and their entire time with the company, but GP is much more limited.

• Labor costs have been lowered.
• Operations have become more efficient. Payroll is processing at 99.6% accuracy.
• Operational efficiencies realized by cutting processing times.

• Associates can easily access their data and make changes to things like their address and direct deposit, saving manager time to focus on more critical tasks within the organization
• NetRecruitier has one site that can be posted to multiple job boards with one applicant tracking system
• Electronic Onboarding allows us to get information out to the new employee so we can start with expectations on their first day and they know what to expect.
