Best way to do your pay!

5.0 5 years ago

Pros:

BrightPay makes payroll easy and has a really modern look. I can train clients to use this in no time at all.

Cons:

The windows and mac versions of the software differ in a few areas which is a real shame. It looks like this may be addressed soon though!

Comments: It's been essential for me to build my payroll bureau

Pros:

I love that the software is user friendly and intuitive, with a pleasant looking interface. The customer support has also been fantastic.

Cons:

I would love it to be cloud based (which is in the pipeline), and also more batch processing features.

An easy way to payroll, with BrightPay!

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall, I've tested a lot of payroll software, and BrightPay is the most user-friendly and addresses practically all payroll-related issues.

Pros:

This program simplifies payroll processing. The UI is simple to use, and entering salary data is a breeze. The program automates regular payrolls by rolling over numbers month after month and generating variation indications.

Cons:

Until you learn how to enter all the necessary information, setting up an employer in the middle of the year might be a bit difficult. Otherwise, it is good.
