What is OnPay?
OnPay’s payroll and HR save business owners over 15 hours a month, and frees them up to focus on the bottom line. "It's an easy, quick, mobile-friendly system that doesn't require a steep learning curve," according to Entrepreneur, and it was also PCMag’s Editors’ Choice.
• Run payroll in minutes
• Automate all the taxes
• Let employees do more themselves
• Simplify your HR processes
• And offer top-notch benefits in any state
It’s just $36 plus $4 per person each month for everything OnPay does — easily the best value among premium payroll providers. The monthly fee includes best-in-class integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, and top time-tracking software, as well as all quarterly and year-end tax filings, and time-saving HR tools. OnPay’s team will even help you get set up by adding prior wages and employee information for you. You can add on integrated benefits, a 401(k) plan, or pay-as-you-go workers' comp.

Used For a Company of Contractors
Over the years we have very much appreciated the way OnPay listens to us and impliments our suggestions and features that work for our company.
Very Easy to Use and Very Reliable
Every time I have had to call OnPay I have had a great experience.
Going down hill fast
They used to be good. I have been them for 3-4 years
Customer service knew what they are doing, there were not glitches, basically hassle free payroll. Starting September or October, we started having issues here and there. First features would get added ( and we start using them ) and then disappear. Taxes are not being filed on time or at all ( I have called them, talked to them on the phone about this multiple times ) . Integrations appear and disappear and i have to keep syncing things. Have to map quickbook chart of accounts again for every payroll item. It's been a NIGHTMARE. It's literally a nightmare. I am looking at other companies and now willing to pay more.
The function to upload payroll data comes and disappears right before the payroll and then it takes one day to add it and then again it disappears
We have a collection notice from our state because of these guys. Every time, i message them / email them, either they don't respond or when i talk to them on the phone they act like i am a dumb.
They are terrible.

My overall experience is good. The cost and customer support team make it a no brainer.

Great Payroll System
Pros
What I like most about OnPay is how easy it is to use the tool. I do not have a payroll background and I was able to figure out how to process payroll with getting frustrated. It's very intuitive and easy to use. I also like that chat functionality. They respond instantly and are incredibly knowledgeable/helpful.
Cons
I wish we could integrate it with our HRIS platform so I wouldn't have to switch between 2 different systems to process payroll (401k contributions and approve non-exempt time cards, etc.)
Used For a Company of Contractors
Over the years we have very much appreciated the way OnPay listens to us and impliments our suggestions and features that work for our company.
Pros
We like being able to add new contractors and allowing an invitation to go out to the employee to log in and finish their own set up by adding their banking information.
We like being able to see a payment history made to the employee.
We like the ease of making direct deposit to employees.
Cons
We would rather enter contractors as contractors rather than employees which is easier to set up. Right now we have to add the 1099 Misc payment addon.
Very Easy to Use and Very Reliable
Every time I have had to call OnPay I have had a great experience.
Pros
I love using this payroll software. The price is very reasonable, running weekly payroll is simple. Finding reports that I need is super easy.
Cons
Sometimes the employee profiles are difficult to navigate in order to look up or update info. It's not something that is prohibitive to the use overall though.

My overall experience is good. The cost and customer support team make it a no brainer.
Pros
What I like most about the software is the ease ofnavigation. Being able toggle between areas is helpful to verifying information. But I feel that this companies best feature is their customer support department. Every time I have had to call, their representatives are always polite and can fix any of my problems.
Cons
I sometimes have issues with the pair time off or vacation algorithms. This is the feature that as given me more phone time w/ customer support.
