  • Information available to employees.
  • Ease of processing payroll.

Getting employees to access their pay stub and general information.

We previously used a different solution and switched to have both an HR and payroll system that worked together.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was complex.

What about the implementation team?

A vendor team implemented it.

The platform configuration and workflow features are valuable. Effective date should be available in audit for all transactions.

What is most valuable?

  • Platform configuration
  • Workflow

How has it helped my organization?

We have been able to put responsibility out to managers to manage their employee information instead of submitting forms.

What needs improvement?

  • All pages should be configurable.
  • Effective date should be available in audit for all transactions.
  • Should be able to delete salary plans after worksheets have been deployed and partially submitted but not closed. There is no audit needed for a salary plan that is not closed.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for two years but the company has had it for 10.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

As a longtime customer, we have suffered through the inadequacies of the Onboarding Classic module. There should be a way to expedite conversion at a customer's request.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We did encounter stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We did not really encounter scalability issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

General cases sometimes languish for weeks without resolution; have had varying levels of success with different technical resources.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used a different solution, but this company had Ultimate.

It's fun and easy to use on the cloud portion, but timeout issues and slowdowns need to be fixed

What is our primary use case?

  • Core HR
  • Compensation
  • Benefits
  • Payroll
  • Absences.

How has it helped my organization?

  • Fun, and easy to use on the cloud portion
  • There is a need to manage back-office applications in order to get everything done which is a more complex setting with security not flowing through. Also, complexity in compensation plans is not accommodated. 
  • Prorations over more then a pay period is not possible, so allocating mid-hire bonuses prorated will be a manual task to accomplish. 
  • System slowdowns and bugs when processing payroll on Mondays and Tuesdays with too much high traffic from other customers. If you are patient, have a simple payroll, other requirements, and no rushes.
  • Ultimate is cute and fun. 
  • It creates more manual work at a slower pace, fills your week as a user, and as an enterprise you might want to utilize that time elsewhere. Also, the cost for services after implementation is out of this world.

What is most valuable?

Customer lead was nice!

What needs improvement?

  • Bring all components for HR and payroll to the cloud. 
  • Fix timeout issues and slowdowns when all customers are running payroll on Mondays and Tuesdays. 

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.
