Multi state at no extra charge

Three years, no missed filing, no penalty notice, and the price is within a few dollars of where it started. There is nothing else I want to say about a payroll provider.

Pros

Multi state payroll with no per state fee

No native mobile application

HR features are a bonus, not a reason

It looks like a competent business application rather than a designed product. Everything is where you expect and nobody would call it beautiful. For payroll I consider that entirely acceptable.

No Canadian payroll of any kind

Tip credit handling that is actually right

The single plan is the whole reason I am here. Forty nine plus six a head and everything is included. I have never once been told a feature I need sits on a higher tier, which is the entire experience of every other payroll product I have used.

Pros

Migration and setup handled by OnPay at no charge

Reporting is thin next to ADP or Paychex

One price and every feature is in it

We have staff in four states and there is no per state surcharge. Our previous provider charged for each one, which for a small distributed team was a real and irritating cost.

Unlimited pay runs and included W-2 and 1099 filing

Our farm payroll finally files correctly

I called about a multi state withholding question and got someone who understood reciprocity agreements without me explaining what they were. That is a very different conversation from being read a knowledge base article by someone following a flowchart.

Support knows payroll, not a script

We are a restaurant and tip credit calculations are where our old provider quietly got things wrong for two quarters. OnPay handles tips, tip credit and the reporting correctly and I have checked it hard.

Tip credit handling that is actually right

We run an agricultural operation and Form 943 is not something most payroll products handle. OnPay does it properly, alongside our regular staff on 941. Finding one system for both was why we chose them and it has worked for three years.
