OnPay

Review:

OnPay is one of our top choices for payroll solutions. It provides all standard payroll software features, as well as extra tools that clients might enjoy. These include unlimited monthly pay runs, custom reporting, multi-state payroll, and multiple pay schedules.

That said, OnPay is limited in terms of which HR tools are included in the platform. Unlike Gusto, OnPay's leading competitor, the platform does not feature a native time tracking app and does not have strong performance management tools.

Pros:

• The first month and installation of OnPay are free.
• Businesses can opt for flexible payment schedules, such as weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
• Employers can pay contractors and employees at no extra cost.
• Compared to similar platforms, OnPay is an affordable choice.
• The Base plan includes all features, including unlimited monthly pay runs, e-signatures, direct deposits, and automated tax payments and filings.
• The platform offers special payroll services for restaurants, farms, nonprofits, and religious institutions.
• OnPay's employee self-service solution helps save time.
• The software is fully PCI compliant.

Cons:

• OnPay is capable of integrating with only a limited number of third-party applications.
• Employers have to pay an additional $4.00 per employee, which may make large payroll runs costlier.
• The platform does not offer a built-in time-tracking solution.
