Checkwriters makes it easy to do payroll. They handle all the updates with ease. We know that our payrolls are accurate and that everything is in compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkwriters? I find that they are challenging to get a hold of. The calls or emails are always returned in a timely manner. Sometimes we have to reach out 2 or 3 times to get an answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkwriters solving and how is that benefiting you? We don't have to update our payroll software to reflect any tax changes the government throws at us. All tax payments and reports are filed directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MO Megan O. Director, Total Rewards Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/9/2023 "Great experience - would recommend!" 5/5 What do you like best about Checkwriters? The customer service. The account representatives are highly responsive and timely. That's not something you see much these days with other vendors. You have the same folks helping you and have a direct line of communication. It's very helpful, especially with such a time-sensitive process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkwriters? Chrome is the main browser we use at my company. We aren't able to use Chrome for certain functions in CheckWriters and need to do it through a different browser, ie. Safari. Some of the manager functionality could also be enhanced. I.e. visibility to accruals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkwriters solving and how is that benefiting you? The support from the Tax department is extremely helpful and takes a lot of time off of our plates. We have employees in 25+ states so that is a big lift. Other providers we have worked with do not offer these same services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service provided when I have issues is very accessible and personable which reduces stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkwriters? The interface is difficult to look at and it is easy to make mistakes when entering payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkwriters solving and how is that benefiting you? Checkwriters was able to build a report so that we could track retirement deductions, including annual reporting needs as well as weekly uploaded files. However it took a couple of months as well as multiple emails to obtain the needed reports and it wasn't great that we needed to keep following up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Controller Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/23/2023 "Very intuitive system and helpful support team" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Checkwriters? Their support is very helpful. The system is simple to use and the app is great for our employees. For an outsourced payroll system, I'm very impressed with how well it works and with their response when it comes to issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkwriters? I've not used a 3rd party payroll system in the past so not having all the payroll data linked to our g/l is what I dislike most but I'm pleasantly surprised that's about all I can find to criticize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkwriters solving and how is that benefiting you? We're a very lean company so reducing the time spent on payroll and payroll taxes is a big benefit to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MM Michael M. Treasurer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/24/2023 "Small business friendly. Great customer service." 5/5 What do you like best about Checkwriters? I can call and talk to a real person anytime I need to. The staff is friendly and understands that I am not a payroll expert. I would say that they "care" about my business and that is very important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkwriters? The web interface is a little rough. I am a retired software professional and my guess is that they're trying to support multiple platforms with one code base. Not a huge issue. Their support is awesome when I can figure something out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkwriters solving and how is that benefiting you? Payroll. Don't try to do it yourself. You need a professional. There are too many rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Checkwriters team made our onboarding very simple. They answered all of my questions and did a lot of the "heavy lifting" that made the process seamless for us internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkwriters? I was hoping the timekeeping system would work for us, but, unfortunately, it didn't. We need a more robust timecard download for grant purposes and haven't found it yet. I appreciate the team continuing to work with us and find a great solution, though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkwriters solving and how is that benefiting you? Payroll has never been easier! Still working through timekeeping, but I am hopeful this will be a robust solution to tracking time for grant reporting as well as time off requests to help the team see when others will be out of office.
