## Reviews

### "Customer support is great\!" — 5.0/5

> **Liz** | *17 January 2025* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We always receive a quick response to any question we have.
> 
> **Cons**: I prefer to have a payroll specialist assigned to my account so that if I have questions I always speak to the same specialist. Therefore, it is a more personalized experience.
> 
> The fast response from the specialists at Primepay is great\! We just submitted our 3rd party sick pay and received our amendments the very next morning.

### "Great basic software" — 3.0/5

> **Christina** | *24 November 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The simplicity of the product made it easy enough for almost anyone to use. The payroll process and tax management filing was helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: Because of the simplicity of the product, it lacked the abilities and the support we needed as a growing business.
> 
> The software was great and easy to use. It had some ability to modify the set up and codes but when it came to customer service, it was difficult to get answers and help without starting from ground zero and explaining your whole company/ process to each person.

### "The money savings is totally worth it. Your not sacrificing anything." — 5.0/5

> **Mike** | *16 May 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The pricing and helpfulness of the Sales rep and the account specialist. Everyone was helpful during the onboarding process and trying to get me set up with everything. Pricing was a huge point for me and this is almost half the price of any other pay company I have been with
> 
> **Cons**: The amount of work to bring employees from current service to primepay. Have to do a lot of manual transfer of reports and information.
> 
> The information session was very friendly and helpful. Compared apples to apples. After the sales person went through the information, I was transfered over to my account specialist who was able to log in with me and get some of the information the needed through a web call. Now just in the process of getting employee information over.

### "Ease of use" — 5.0/5

> **Heather** | *05 November 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: PrimePay is easy to use.  I like the intergration between PrimePay and employee navigator.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like the payroll cutoff time being such a hard time, when I'm actually going throught the last steps of payroll.  I've been caught in verification a couple of times, and charged the "Next Day Deposit Fee".
> 
> I enjoy using PrimePay, and will continue until further notice.

> **Cons**: System limitations. The system is unable to handle our intricut payrolls and could not give basic reports that were needed. The discovery documents was very detailed on what is needed for data migration. It made the import of information and data verification easier.
> 
> My overall experience with PrimePay implemetation team was great exeprience, my overall experience with the system is NOT LIKEY to recommend. The system is has a lot of glitches and is limited to what is capabilities are.
