> 
> **Pros**: Makes monthly payroll very quick and easy. Customer services are very helpful if you need them
> 
> **Cons**: Doesn't integrate with Quickbooks or FindmyShift
> 
> We've used Payroll Manager for years and never had any issues. It's straightforward to use and there and plenty of tutorials online. Updates come through regularly and it gets all the latest legislative changes and applies them automatically. Payslips are produced automatically and emailed to staff straight from the software. The few times I've had queries/issues, customer services are super easy to get hold of and very polite and helpful
