(Original )Information
What do you like best about APS?

It auto inputs the data straight from the system after you have approved the payroll. This is helpful and a time saver instead of inputting each person separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

I have some employees that receive an "advance" on their paychecks. APS has a way to do that but it does not automatically subtract the amount due--you must manually calculate that. It is not a huge hindrance as it is not needed every payroll session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is APS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a time saver and helps keep me accurate on all time logs and data entry. It also allows employees to access it themselves instead of asking me questions regarding their hours/pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Casey Chaudoir, MBA of APS

Thank you for your response, Allison! We're glad our system has helped you save time with data entry. Thanks again for your review, and have a great day!

What do you like best about APS?

I Love that APS is easy to use, has amazing customer service,I can perform all my HR and payroll functions all in one location, and the lastest and greatest is that I can now link my benefit enrollment to APS to save time when uploading all information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

The downside to APS is they don't have a calculator to pre-calculate a paycheck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is APS solving and how is that benefiting you?

APS has allowed me to have all my onboarding in one place. And this year we are using the performance manager feature, allowing all reviews to be done on this site. So easy to create and use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from RebeccaGrace Kimball of APS

What do you like best about APS?

The Support is most helpful and the reports are extremely useful when analyzing payroll data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

During the COVID pandemic, it was challenging to get support on the phone for difficult issues regarding the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is APS solving and how is that benefiting you?

No problems at the current time but when the labor department needs information regarding our employee labor the information is easy to obtain from the APS system. In addition, I need to report payroll number for end of year processing,

and if any agencies like LWCC need information; this provides the information that is needed. This makes my day a little easier. APS is flexible in that it is easy to handle the general ledger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joelle Cullimore of APS

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to leave us a review. We are happy to hear the support team has been so helpful, and the reporting functions have proven useful. We apologize for the previous difficulties reaching our team via phone and assure you you are a priority during this time. We have passed along your feedback to our team as well. We look forward to working with you for years to come.

What do you like best about APS?

My team appreciates the teamwork and helpful customer service. I am confident any question or issue I may have is met with respect and prompt attention. If the resolution isn't given at the first response, it is escalated to a higher consult. In every case, my team and I feel that our questions / situations are always important and that the APS team will work quickly to resolve any issue and answer all requests. They target issues with great diligence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

I'm not completely sold on the time and attendance just yet, but it was way better than it was before. There are tools to track and maintain CA compliance with missed meal periods, but not to my convinience, but my inquiry has been heard and follow has been within reasonable time. I appreciate the opportunity to be heard and feel that my concerns are real to the APS team as they are to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is APS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is so comforting to have the support opening up new concepts within a brief window and have teams - not just one person, but constant teamwork at APS to ensure our concepts go live without issue. The implementation teams, back end teams, support teams are a truly unified team that helps our business be set up quickly and in motion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about APS?

APS has improved the software with Early Access options that use to be APS staff only options. Our staff continue to use the app with ease and reliability. It is rare for staff to have an issue with the eselfserve app.

Customer Service team is so prompt and helpful. I normall use the online ticket but there have been times I can't wait and the staff are simply awesome!

APS NewHire, HR Support and resources have exceeded my expectations. New hires come on first day with all the paperwork completed and I'm not having to track down one form, etc. It is all in one place and helps me do my job better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

The only downside I have is when I'm not near computer and need to do something in APS. It is not phone friendly. I would love to see it as an option in the future. Maybe not all features but some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering APS:

For us it has been the best solution for HR, Payroll, New Hires (application, interview, onboarding and smooth transition into payroll). We have just started the Performance/Review process and so far is going really well as is Open Enrollment for benefits which is the first time doing it via a system and not all paperwork. Everything under one roof. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is APS solving and how is that benefiting you?

HR Professional support has been HUGE. We are small organization and to have such great resources at my finger tips is a life saver and cost savings as well.

Time off request, calendars and ability for employees to know their balences of PTO, sick, etc is HUGE. Plus, I don't have to print out vouchers anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We appreciate your feedback on the mobile experience and will work on improvements. Your positive comments on our HR, payroll, and onboarding solutions are appreciated. We're pleased the performance review and open enrollment processes are going well. It's great to know our HR support and features like time-off requests have been valuable.

What do you like best about APS?

APS is very user friendly and everything is in one place. Implementation overall was easy and you have a dedicated Project Manager that is with you every step of the way. The Support Teams that you use for questions or issues once you are out of implementation are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! A big reason for our company switching to APS from our former payroll provider was that the service was absolutely terrible, it would take weeks, sometimes months to have issues resolved. With APS when I have a question or a problem, I submit a request and they get back to me the same day, usually within minutes! The Sales team is also very supportive and makes sure to make things right by any means necessary. I use the system daily and the ease of navigation is wonderful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

There are two things that I won't say I dislike, but I would change. First, I would do the overall system training on HR related features before the payroll training. There were plenty of questions I had during implementation that I had to ask my PM about that if I had gotten the HR training first, I would have never had to ask. Secondly, I would like to see the eSS App be able to do more. APS has been great about this and told us of updates they have upcoming and have invited us to beta test new versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is APS solving and how is that benefiting you?

APS is helping us keep everything in one place as it relates to our HR and employee records. No more paper forms being lost or not filled out in their entiretly. It is also helping us to be consistent and compliant with I-9 documentation and e-verify for all new hires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Maner, CDMP of APS

We're thrilled to hear that you find APS user-friendly and that your support team has been phenomenal in addressing your questions and issues, Amber. We appreciate your feedback on the system training and the eSS App, and we will take this into consideration for future improvements. We're glad to hear that APS is helping you keep everything in one place and ensuring consistency and compliance with HR and employee records. Thank you for choosing APS!

What do you dislike about APS?

We've had to modify somethings we had been doing...we went from paper to outsourcing payroll to APS. They made it easy but some internal decisions had to be made to make it work. Working with HR module now to set up benefits. They have been very helpul. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is APS solving and how is that benefiting you?

More accurate work time reflection. Ability to for supervisors to monitor effectively. Easy to submit payroll. If we have errors, APS works with us to resolve them quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about APS?

I love the dedicated team-customer support to your business. I love that there is more than one way to reach someone. You can call for things more urgent and message for things that can wait. Many of the things were are currently using are very easy to use. I love how easy it is to upload documents into the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about APS?

We have had some difficulty with our ease of integration with some of our systems. Implemenation has been more timely than anticipated. There are some features that we are very surprised that are not part of APS's standards. Some of the reports needed are just not possible with the way things are set up in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
