    We changed payroll companies from Paycom to Heartland this year at the recommendation of our insurance agent who insisted they would integrate with the EASE system, which tracks employee benefits and deductions. However, 8 weeks into it, I regret my decision, since the setup hasn't been completed yet. The lack of responsiveness in some cases is astounding and often we have to ask 3, 4, and 5 times for something to be done. I hate to think what will happen after we are "handed off" from the payroll implementation team to the regular schmucks. We still are not able to track PTO and time off and we have been begging for the self-service feature to be turned on for employees so they can change addresses, bank account info, etc. Their training is NONEXISTENT and their manual is abysmal. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! I wish I could go back to Paycom!

    Paypro Workforce Management has custom report building that is easy to use and manipulate for data you need to pull. The onboarding system is overly complicated and not user friendly. Workflows are overly complicated and a workflow for PAFs is non-existent, causing our company to have to use paper PAF forms.

    Pros
    Acrisure
    • White-glove customer support. All employees are in the United States and they must pay them well, because they don't seem to have turnover there.
    • Technology is awesome. We have Payroll, HR, T&A, ATS, and onboarding with them.
    • Their Tax Credit tech is amazing. I received more money in tax credits last year than payroll cost me. That's a net positive!
    • Compliance with their HR team is great, and they don't hit you over the head on the price for it.
    • Pricing is fantastic with a 3-year price lock. No BS discounting that jumps back up a year later.

    • Setting up new employees is very easy and only takes a couple of minutes.
    • We have union and non-union employees, and we have both salaried and hourly employees. Workforce One lets us set up rules based on the union CBA, our office holiday schedule, etc., so we don't have to make many adjustments to timesheets when we have situations that deviate from the norm. The rules kick in and handle the situation for us.

    Cons
    Acrisure
    • Sometimes the system (geocode) will not allow me to process address changes by asking for help from our specialist.
    • Response for assistance is usually a lot slower when our dedicated specialist is not available.

    • Report Writing: Canned reports are antiquated like a dinosaur. Users should be able to design their own reports like all other systems. Click and it's there. Currently, it's not at all what it can be.
    • Very rigid with contract: meaning when a rule change and/or policy has changed the company is charged in order to make the change.
    • Integration within the system. There are times when you change the information in the system then it randomly changes another section.

    The system is very thorough, has an efficient layout, and is very user-friendly. It can handle massive amounts of data and spit it out in manageable and useful chunks. We obtain tons of workable data from the various reports that the system can provide us. When it comes to payroll and HR, it can handle everything that you need.

    I never have trouble reaching customer support. They always are able to assist with fixing any problems that arise. There honestly haven't been many issues at all. Only ones I've created :)

    I am always able to get an answer to my questions as soon as I ask. If there is an associate that can not answer my question - they will make sure that someone else helps me. The company is very responsive.

    The Heartland team could care less about how difficult your experience is. In fact, I think they delight in seeing you struggle!

    I've considered moving payroll over to QuickBooks Online so that everything is in one place, but it would probably take too much work considering that our current system works really well. I think QuickBooks would confuse me, honestly. There are other systems that offer different user interfaces that are neat looking, but I haven't done too much research because Heartland Payroll offered me a really good deal for processing since we are a small company.

    We have used in-house systems, ADP Total Source, and Valiant Services. This system, in my opinion, is more user-friendly and faster than others. We have more control on our end to process with flexibility that other systems just did not offer.

    Return on Investment
    Acrisure
    • We have a net positive using Heartland. We actually bring more money in from their tax credits than the payroll service actually costs.
    • I used to have a part-time person handing our payroll/HR needs. Now this is done by me because it's so easy.

    • Workforce save time in processing . The company can manage the payroll , process by one employee. The company used to have two employees to split the whole company dept; now one employee can manage the whole process.
    • It's cheaper than other payroll company.
