Vice President of HR & Finance Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/24/2023 "CheckWriters has been a wonderful partner to work with!" 5/5 What do you like best about Checkwriters? One thing I love about CheckWriters is that you have a team who is always available for a question, to correct an error, and make sure that you are compliant.

Current UserValidated ReviewerSource: Organic BI Bruce I. Director of Finance Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/25/2023 "Four Years of Superior Service and Value" 5/5 What do you like best about Checkwriters? We have a monthly payroll process which is logical, fast, intuitive, and accurate. Any time I have an issue (which is infrequent), a quick call with little hold time solves my issue. I appreciate the value that CheckWriters offers by keeping pricing under control. I enjoy the clean and easy-to-read user interface. CheckWriters is adding to its reference materials bit by bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkwriters? They are sticklers for security, and that slows my employees sometimes. But, if anyone complains to me, it's more of a benefit than a problem. I want some special features designed for schools: summer pay, substitute processing, and access to the API so I can develop apps and forms. Also, I wish they had a QBO Advanced interface to push more payroll detail into my general ledger. I import the summary journal entry using Transaction Pro but detailed payee names would help me ensure proper general ledger coding. This isn't a major issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkwriters solving and how is that benefiting you? The modern ESS (employee self-service) has cut down on questions from our employees by 90%. Out of 72 employees, we only have three that need regular, monthly hand-holding, which is par for the course! And, even with multiple types of time off, the software handles them easily. Our employees and approvers process requests with little help from the business office. Payroll and related tax compliance become a three-hour-per-month task. I've used other payroll systems and CheckWriters is the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've enjoyed working with you and your school over the years.

Checkwriters allowed us to have one system for HR and payroll. This also streamlined many other processes that we were doing manually or using through other vendors such as ACA reporting, benefits enrollment, timesheets, job postings and onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkwriters? Losing a great customer service rep that is dedicated to you and is there with you from the beginning. It is great that CheckWriters is able to promote those individuals but you make a connection and it is always hard to let them go but you know they deserve the promotion! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkwriters solving and how is that benefiting you? Checkwriters solved a lot of problems for us, from ACA reporting, benefit enrollment, onboarding, timesheets, PTO tracking, etc. We had so many ways of completing all of these tasks but it is now all located within one system and one vendor. This has allowed us to become more streamlined in our processes and has freed up alot of time for HR and Payroll both! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
