## Certified Payroll Reporting Reviews
  ### 1. We Recommend Points North Certified Payroll Reporting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ken H. | CFO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2022

**What do you like best about Certified Payroll Reporting?**

The fact that the payroll data can synch with ADP. Much data entry has been eliminated. This saves us tremendous time and increases our productivity.

**What do you dislike about Certified Payroll Reporting?**

There is nothing we dislike. The only thing that doesn't work well for us is that we have to download the reports one at a time. They would probably fix this if I reported it to them. The support team has always been responsive.

**What problems is Certified Payroll Reporting solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We would have to prepare the payroll reports manually. What used to take several hours each week, now it only takes a few minutes. Business performance has increased.

That it links directly with ADP as well as Quickbooks Time and basically does all the work for me.

That manual entries done in Quickbooks Time are not translated into CPP, so if they were manually entered into QBT, they have to be manually entered into CPP

This software has been an enormous time saver in preparing and submitting certified payroll reports to the State of California.

**What do you dislike about Certified Payroll Reporting?**

I wish there were a way to choose that the report you're working on is the final report for that job, so when you submit it to the XML program on the State of California website and create your reports, it shows that it is a final report.

It has saved about 10-15 hours of payroll time for me per week by enabling me to focus on other aspects of my job instead of creating and preparing multiple Certified Reports.
