Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 38 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. People frequently struggle to reach customer support, mentioning extremely long wait times, unhelpful automated bots, and a complete lack of human assistance when urgent problems arise. Many users also experienced severe issues with payroll processing, unexpected system errors during migration, and frustrating account lockouts that severely delayed employee payments. Though some reviewers noted that the previous version of the software worked well and was straightforward and simple to use. A few customers also mentioned that timely assistance was available and management handled previous problems smoothly when the digital platform functioned properly.

Your a payroll company and should stand behind your decisions or actions regarding wage subsidies and handle the representations or have someone to explain where CRA is coming from and why the client still has to pay. We use the company to have completely accurate service on time and to save penalties and wasted time on CRA representations.

Usually the service is quick efficient, impeccable. Recently we had. Payroll issue and we submitted a question online but did not get an answer as there seemed to be a glitch in the website. Otherwise we are very happy with the service and support and reminders. We switched from ADP and what a word of difference!

We needed a new reliable yet comprehensive payroll solution for our clients, as there were programming issues with the software we were using. I looked into a few programs, and Wagepoint stood out because it's highly rated and well spoken of. It has not disappointed! It's been easy to setup and learn, and the support - which is so important - has been really, really good!

Overall

Overall, it's a great service and helps make our payroll a seamless process. The only feature that we would like to see is more information on how taxes may affect payroll before going through the process of actually running payroll.

Otherwise, we love Wagepoint and feel very taken care of them.

Support has been quite responsive, which is great. I have found it a bit cryptic, and not working to understand the real question.

I would give a 5star BUT if I have a problem on the day that I am doing payroll, I have no way of contacting and talking to someone right away to resolve the problem. Some times you can't wait a day or so because you will not be able to have payroll in on time.

You have far more important things to be worrying about other than payroll, so hearing that Wagepoint is making it super easy for you is fantastic! Thank you so much for review, Tim.
