What do you like best about PayNorthwest?

Once you use the system for a bit, it becomes easier to use and more intuitive. If you are doing basic operations and self service, it typically meets all of your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayNorthwest?

The system has a bunch of bugs if you customize anything. It is difficult to use the scheduling features compared to other similar systems. The reports that are built in are challenging to review and you have to build in custom reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use for what our company needs to use it for. I like all of the different options that it has. It also rarely has glitches or problems with loading. Overall just easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayNorthwest?

We need more categories for certifications. Wh have had to combine multiple things together, so it makes it harder to track things sometimes if they have one of the items and not the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great price, service sometimes slow"
3.5/5
What do you like best about PayNorthwest?

works great for a small company of our size. It allows us to use a local company for all of our payroll needs. we have multiple codes also which they can custom build for us. like that there is an employee portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayNorthwest?

wish there was easier reporting and service levels. sometimes response times are slow especially for urgent issues. wish there was more proactive service for things that affect us at a higher level like tax credits. they also have issues sometimes with accurately having limits met for retirement.
