I use OSV for payroll processing, net pay, tax processing, W2 printing and mailing, and garnishment fulfillment. I have been on payroll at my current company for over five years, and we have used OSV this whole time. They are very timely for net pay processing and standard tax filing. Tax amendment cases can be slow to process and are my only complaint. I also use OSV to assist with ACA reporting, and OSV made that process much smoother. OSV also partners with The Work Number, and they have taken many Verifications of Employment off my workload.
Pros
Net Pay processing - employees often receive direct deposits one day early.
Partnership with The Work Number.
Garnishment fulfillment.
Federal and State tax processing.
Cons
Time to respond to certain tickets/cases.
Tax amendment processing time.
Likelihood to Recommend
OSV uses tickets/cases for communication, which makes it easy to open and monitor the status of transactions. They are great at net pay processing and filing taxes. If things are not moving along, you can reach out to your Tax Specialist or Customer Success Manager, and they can help escalate concerns. It sounds like they are rearranging their tax filing department so they can facilitate quicker resolutions, so I hope that benefits their customers. They are also interested in reaching out and making things right for the customer. Their Knowledge Center online could use a re-vamp. The search function is not useful at all, and I have a difficult time finding forms such as ACH Reversal form, or the Stop Payment form.

OSV is our business partner in net pay, tax, and garnishment services. They support our payroll process on a daily basis by making our net pay deposits, garnishment payments, and filing and depositing our tax reports and withholdings. OSV solves any tax agency inquiries and supports us while we pursue compliance.
Pros
timely filings and deposits for income tax withholdings.
Accurate payroll deposits.
Timely response to inquiries.
Cons
There are occasional occurrences where tickets are mismanaged. We've had instances where tickets were not sent to the proper department or responses to our tickets that settlement runs were not found because the ticket had already been processed. These were not critical issues, but the client can cause doubt in the expertise that I have come to expect from OSV.
Likelihood to Recommend
I see OSV as a trusted partner for the services we've elected. The reports they provide as part of their services are the most useful and very clear to understand.

OneSource [Virtual] is our 3rd party net pay settlement provider. They also remit all payroll tax liabilities and file all payroll tax returns on our behalf. [OneSource Virtual] also prepares and remits any necessary federal and/or state tax amendments, and they support our year-end W-2 process and related filings. From time to time, we may also utilize [OneSource Virtual] to handle any garnishments that may arise.
Pros

At the end of each quarter, [OneSource Virtual]'s tax and payroll team initiate a meeting with me to discuss the quarter's activities and hear any concerns I may have
I meet with my [OneSource Virtual] Success Manager once a year to touch base and discuss improvements to our services
Cons
There are times (not always) where I have created a ticket and have had to follow up multiple times before I hear back from anyone. I'm not sure if this is an [OneSource Virtual] system issue, but it can be very frustrating.
I would love for anyone that's reviewing a ticket to include their phone number in case I need to reach them immediately instead of waiting for their electronic response. Some include their contact information, but the majority do not.

[OneSource Virtual] handles our settlement, tax remittances, and tax agency filings. All payroll processing is handled internally. I have been working with [OneSource Virtual] for over three years and have enjoyed their services. They are timely and responsive. As we open up more campuses, the scope of our work with [OneSource Virtual] will increase, so it's great to know the level of service that we can expect from them.
