Their rates skyrocketed after the first year, the HR services provided incorrect information for state laws and were so overwhelmed they didn't have time to properly assist with the services they provided taking 6 months to update an existing employee handbook only for us to discover it wasn't state compliant, the improperly took state and federal taxes out of employee paychecks, and they took more than the federal limits out for both IRAs and FSAs of multiple employees' paychecks. I do not know how they are still in business. ----- ### "Great Product" — 5.0/5 > **Bleu** | *07 June 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: web based easy and intutitive employee interface > > **Cons**: Admin portal not nearly as polished as employee interface Admin, employee, HR are all separate websites > > Consolidated a number of existing benefits into single solution Access to better medical coverage along with reduction in premiums greatly enhancing the employee benefit. ----- ### "ScalePEO Has Delivered" — 4.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *09 October 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We did back to back conversions and converting to Scale was a much smoother process than the first. The support was phenomenal and the accuracy was on point. I like that I can get them on the phone immediately if I so choose. > > **Cons**: The one drawback with this software, if you want to call it that, is that there is the additional step of performing a review after you have submitted payroll. It isn't that much of a drawback-- just today I caught an input error of mine doing such a review so it does serve a purpose. > > This is only our 3rd payroll with Scale to date, but we are extremely pleased so far. The onboarding process went on without a hitch. We switched from weekly payroll to biweekly payroll and I was afraid of employee backlash, but we did not receive any. I think employees are real pleased with the access to their payroll and benefit information. We were able to pass on much of the savings on to the employees which essentially served as a midyear raise for many of them. ----- ### ""Outside the box" solution for small and mid-size companies" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *26 February 2019* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: A single platform for payroll, benefits, HR, reporting, compliance, and peace of mind. > > **Cons**: ScalePEO is not a "one size fits all" solution for all businesses and does take more front-end work to ensure it is a good fit. > > Relationships are crucial and the customer service ScalePEO provides is top-tier and people first. Overall the software solution and platform combined with a real and tangle human element make ScalePEO easy to overwhelmingly recommend. ----- ### "Broker friendly PEO and more\!" — 5.0/5 > **Stephen** | *26 February 2019* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have proposed ScalePEO on a number of occasions to our clients. The proposal packet and the presentation from ScalePEO is first-rate. They make it easy to understand and the employer can see the value in combining HR and payroll. As a broker however, this PEO is excellent to work with because they include you as a partner rather than an outsider. > > **Cons**: Although we have proposed ScalePEO to a number of prospects we have yet to experience their software. If the software is anything like their sales presentation I would think that the on boarding process and customer service would be excellent. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/181330/scalepeo?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/181330/scalepeo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
