Question on: OnPay

Is OnPay just payroll software, or can it also help with other tasks like onboarding, HR, and benefits administration?

I've been using OnPay primarily for payroll but I'm curious whether it can consolidate some of our other HR workflows. Looking to understand the full scope of what the platform covers before evaluating additional tools.

Yes — OnPay can help with much more than payroll, especially if you’re looking to bring more of your back-office workflows into one system. In addition to running payroll and handling tax filings and payments, OnPay can support HR-related tasks like employee self-onboarding, e-signable worker documents, document storage and audits, employee self-service, and PTO and time tracking management. OnPay also offers integrated benefits with free plan administration, and our dedicated team of licensed insurance agents can help you add benefits such as health, dental, vision, short- and long-term disability, life insurance, and more. You can also connect workers’ comp and 401(k) options so deductions can be calculated and applied to payroll automatically. In other words, OnPay is built to help simplify payroll, HR, benefits, and time tracking workflows — so you may be able to reduce the number of separate tools your team has to manage.

Question on: OnPay

What size business is OnPay best for? When does it make the most sense compared to a more enterprise payroll provider?

I'm evaluating payroll software for a growing company and trying to figure out where OnPay fits relative to larger platforms like ADP or Paychex. Is there a headcount range or complexity threshold where OnPay really shines, and where would you recommend going upmarket instead?

OnPay is best suited for small to midsize US businesses with 1 to 500-plus employees, offering an intuitive platform that scales well with a company as it grows. It provides all the full-service payroll essentials a smaller organization needs right out of the gate — including automated tax filings and payments — alongside robust HR and employee benefits solutions that support employers well into their growth trajectory. While it is highly capable of scaling with an expanding domestic team, you may need to explore more enterprise solutions if your organizational scale demands international payroll infrastructure or highly customized corporate enterprise software integrations.

What are the most recommended payroll services for offices?

Hello G2 community, I’ve been helping standardize a few internal processes, and figuring out the most recommended payroll services for offices has been part of that.

In an office setup, payroll isn’t just about paying people. It needs to be consistent, predictable, and not dependent on one person remembering every step.

What we’re trying to get right:

payroll runs on time without manual follow-ups
clear visibility for admin/finance
minimal surprises around deductions or compliance
something that scales as the team grows

From the payroll tools I’ve looked at:

RUN Powered by ADP – widely used for structured payroll cycles
Workforce Now – more control for larger teams
UKG Ready – combines payroll with workforce tracking
Paylocity – connects payroll with HR processes
Justworks – simplifies compliance-heavy setups

Trying to understand what actually works once things are running every month.

Which one made payroll feel consistent without constant oversight?

Also, how much involvement does your finance or HR team still have after setting everything up?
