APS Reviews & Insights

We use APS Payroll to process our payroll and to also file and pay our payroll taxes. APS Payroll registers our business in new states when we acquire remote employees. Employees use the eSelfServe feature for clocking in and out. We also use them for our hiring (APS Hire) and our benefits (elections, hiring, termination, etc). APS Payroll also handles our W2s and 1095s.

APS Payroll is an easy to use payroll system, and integrates well with some things such as the APS Hire feature, which handles onboarding, and the eSelfServe timeclock feature. It exports well to Quickbooks, but is only ok with NetSuite. (It works but is a completely manual process and takes a lot of setup.) Our tax registration and filing has been fine and we're always apprised of any tax discrepancies such as small Unemployment overages/underages when filed compared to what was withheld.

APS is used for time tracking, PTO and sick time tracking, and payroll. Our hourly staff use the online clock to track their work hours. All staff use the PTO and sick time function to submit their requests and track their balances. Management is able to review and approve time cards as well as PTO and sick time requests.

Implementation didn't go well at all. I provided the timeline necessary for the implementation and was assured by the implementation specialist that there would be no problem with meeting the deadline. It wasn't close to being met. And that was after repeatedly pushing the specialist to get it done. I was assured that APS could create an accurate journal entry to export to our accounting software. I was told that they would work with us to ensure that it would work correctly. When the time, we were given written instructions and told to let them know if we needed help. It never worked.

We have APS Online for HRIS/Payroll as well as APS Hire for recruiting and onboarding. And, we have also elected to use CypherWorx as our Learning Management System as an 'add-on' to APS, but it works directly with the APS database to enroll all new hires into APS for learning-based training information to be released to them upon hire.

For an organization like mine that is not terribly vertical in its management infrastructure, the APS system is just right because it is not as complex as an Ultimate Software/Kronos/PeopleSoft product. So, there isn't a huge learning curve in bringing non-HR managers and end-users up to speed on the best practice use of the system. However, there may be organizations with much thicker layers and internal specialization that may find this product to lack some of the sophistication required to really address some of the 'real time' concerns of a large and complex organization.

We use APS Payroll for payroll and HR management, benefits, recruiting and onboarding.

The software is easier to use than Paylocity, ADP, or Paychex. The payroll is very quick to do. Onboarding is super simple as well.

We utilize APS Payroll & APS Hire. It is our HRIS, ATS, Payroll & eSelfServe system. My HR team utilizes the payroll system to process payroll and benefits on a weekly basis. My recruiting team utilizes the APS Hire system on a daily basis. All of our employees utilize eSelfServe to manage their time clocks, submit time-off requests and enroll in benefits. Overall APS Payroll I would rate as a 7 out of 10 for a payroll system. It is fairly user friendly and does most payroll tasks. The system is limited on what it can do. You can't pro rate pay automatically and its reporting is somewhat limited. Setting up a benefits file feed can be tough for the system, but their team is very helpful.

APS Hire I would rate as a 5 out of 10. It is a very glitchy system and has very limited options. eSelfServe is a good system that I would rate 9 out of 10. It has all of the necessary options, but it is also very easy to navigate. Overall I feel that APS is good system for a small to medium size company, but can be outgrown due to the lack of depth and efficiency it needs for a larger company. The cost is affordable which is also a factor in why you may choose it versus other options that are better quality.

I think APS is best suited for small to medium size companies. I believe larger companies who need a more robust program that has more processes needing managing through their HRIS/ATS will be better off going with a different program.

APS was used in the Human Resources and Payroll departments of my company.

APS is well suited for entering in new-hire information and creating reports with your employee information, such as birthdays/anniversaries, but difficult to do attendance tracking or perfect attendance programs. The worst thing I think would be training, entering in training classes was so tedious because each person has to be put in individually.

APS is being used as our payroll/benefits/HR system. We use it to manage employees time daily with clocking in and out, benefits, accruals, etc. We used it during open enrollment. APS allows a single point for HR to get a glimpse of everything. It is what is used most with the HR department.

APS is best (to me) for the one stop look at HR information. I'm able to see time and attendance. I am able to complete the benefits process during open enrollment. I am able to see the accruals, rates, deductions etc, all in one place.
I would like to see APS remember my login information and not stay logged in longer on a daily basis.

We mainly use the Payroll, Time and Attendance, and basic employee enrollment features. It is used across our campus both by professional staff/faculty and students. It allows us to track employees and students, their time, payroll, personal info and vacation, and sick accruals.

APS has worked great for our institution. It has allowed up to go completely digital with our time tracking and payroll processes.

We utilize APS for all our HR and Payroll Management across the whole organization. They process all our paychecks, 100% of our employees use direct deposit and love the app that allows them to view their own information. We also utilize the secure doc storage to keep all records backed up in the cloud.

APS does a fantastic job of helping us with payroll processing and HR management. The software is easy to use. The multiple user access makes the various management approvals easy and the reporting helps out in multiple areas. We also backup all our HR records to the cloud with their secure docs module.

We use APS to process payroll for our whole organization.

I ALWAYS get quick responses to my questions. And when I make mistakes, they are quick to fix them for me or show me how to do so.
