Square Payroll

Hassle Free Payroll Solution

Comments: I'm a big fan of anything that saves me time and headaches, and there is NONE larger that sending out tax forms or other financial obligations. Controlling payroll from on easy to use hub is a great value, and it only costs a small monthly fee per contractor.

Pros:

I am a sole proprietor/ LLC, with independent contractors as opposed to full/part time employees. I absolutely love that Square Payroll manages every facet of fund transfer including submitting tax form to my contractors, essentially taking care of my responsibilities as an employer.

Cons:

The employer dashboard and features are pretty basic and may take some to get used to what functionality is available. The users, my hires, have not experienced any problems or difficulty, so that's the most important pat.

Square Payroll is perfect for my small business

Comments: It's a fanstastic and solid product. I've used square payroll for over 7 years after using several other services like Quickbooks, paychex, ADP and nothing beats it in terms of price and quality.

Pros:

We use square for our POS, scheduling employees, and payroll. It's a fantastic all in one product for a small business.

Cons:

I've used so many other products and I don't find anything about this one I don't like or that I feel like it needs in addition to what it already provides.

A headache, at best

Pros:

Square seems to have big ideas, and they don't fall short in terms of ambition.

Cons:

Customer service is virtually impossible to reason with, non responsive at times and in the long run, using this service has caused chaos for my company and distress for my employees.

I cant say there is anything I don't like about them.

My Square Payroll Software Review

Comments: Square Payroll's dashboard was very easy to navigate, the software itself was self explanatory & for the most part easy to use, but i ran into a few problems when it came to direct deposit, employee requested time off, & it was also a little more expensive then other payroll software programs.

Pros:

The dashboard of Square Payroll was very easy to use & navigate, I had ran into alot of problems when it came to time off requests & also direct deposits being made on time/payday.

Cons:

That there were a few times that employee direct deposits were not deposited when they were to be deposited ie: payday. The software was more expensive than other payroll programs I have used in the past.

Square Payroll is the only way to go!

Pros:

Ease of use, simple to input time and tips for employees. No need to worry about taxes either!

Cons:

I feel it has all the features it needs right now

Square Payroll

Best thing your money could buy

Pros:

I love how it cut my time in half for my company payroll. It has great features and it simplifies everything making it easy for anyone to use .

Cons:

Customer Support could use minor improvements. Sometimes they’re hard to reach . Still overall I highly recommend.

Essential system to execute payroll payments in an automated way.

Comments: Square managed to ensure that our employees could receive their salary at the right time and without any kind of delay, in addition, our company is of medium size, so the manual payroll process was quite complex, we had to spend a lot of time to inspect and make payments, plus we had to hire more people to run these payrolls, so Square has replaced all of that, with their automated Payroll system. I'm happy with the results obtained with the help of Square, I have been able to make unlimited payroll payments, I have been able to make deductions from salaries and many other things.

Pros:

Square made the payroll process so much easier for our entire company. I loved the way this platform allows me to use the trip monitoring function, this function was very important to me since it works in real-time and allows me to monitor all the trips scheduled by our employees, I can see the amount spent on that trip and many more details. I also liked how accurate and without delays the payroll payments are executed, this way fantastic because it allowed our employees to be able to receive their payroll simultaneously, all payments are executed through this system on the same date and same time. I liked the automated service to send payment report to our employees mail, this helped a lot so that our employees could see what debits there were in their payroll, or any added bonus.

Cons:

The only problem with Square is that it is difficult to correctly configure this service to integrate it with the time measurement service, it was so difficult that after a weed trying to do this integration, we were not successful. However, we currently export the time reports and import them into the Square platform to execute the corresponding payments, but it would be great if this integration was easier, so that we can enjoy it in our company.

Perfect square utilizing Square payroll

Comments: overall experience with square payroll is good.

Pros:

The ability to pay manage and keep track of payroll and documents makes square payroll a great tool for any small or large business.

Cons:

it can be a bit confusing but the help feature can make things move a bit more smoothly.

Square Payroll

Comments: I am able to make Square Payroll our one stop shop. It files and pays our quarterly taxes, W-2's, Worker's Comp Insurance, Employee Benefits, and Wage Garnishments.

Pros:

Square Payroll is super user friendly. It has a ton of features we use such as time tracking, direct deposit, and benefits.

Cons:

I would prefer if we could change the cut off day time to a day later in the week but still allow for Friday direct deposits. Currently the cutoff is set to 11pm on Monday for a Friday direct deposit. Mondays are always super busy for us and there are many times I am unable to get payroll in on time, resulting in me having to write checks.

Influencer review for square

Pros:

Super easy to use and most of all I trust the software

Cons:

There’s nothing I dislike fortunately!!!

Best Bang for Your Buck, No Headaches

Comments: I completely set up the system, enrolled all my employees, and processed my first payroll in half the time it normally took me to run a pay period using my old system.

Pros:

Hands-down is the high compliance standards for very low cost. Close runner-up reasons are ease of use, both from the employer side as well as the employee side. This software is really great, offers a lot of protection, and cuts my payroll processing manhours from tens of hours every week to roughly 45 mins of double-checking things before hitting "PROCESS". Seamless direct depositing, set-up and managed by the employees themselves (though I can go in and make changes if they need help - only had that happen once so far, but still important). Very very VERY intuitive if you have spent even a little time in any other payroll software (yes, including manual spreadsheets).

Cons:

I haven't had a chance yet to test the multi-state or international aspects (assuming international even exists).

Enjoying All the Benefits of Having a Reliable Payroll System, without the Headache

Pros:

Square payroll makes such a complicated and time consuming task or managing payroll a simple task .

Cons:

Square Payroll actively build and design their software to be better on a quarterly basis. If something was missing, shortly later, they would have integrated it into their software. I have most of the features I need for my employees, i.e. commissions, PTO, Tips, etc.

Square Payroll for Small Businesses

Comments: I enjoyed being able to send automated payments to contractors and also other businesses officially versus me having to pay somebody via check only and not have it reported as 1099.

Pros:

The payroll portal is connected separate from the website and is easy to sort out money and wages and tips for small to large offline businesses. There is a seamless integration with timesheets and the employee app to clock and clock out hours worked.

Cons:

It could be very automated with the square POS equipment. I know they're just beginning where they can clock in as an employee but it could be also allowed to pay those people automated without me having to process everything all the time.

Square Payroll makes it easy to run my small business

Comments: Using Square Payroll saved me money by eliminating the need for me to hire a CPA. It was easy to set up and any initial questions I had were answered promptly and efficiently by Square. I've used Square to run a restaurant with 10+ 1099 employees and now I use it to run a small marketing firm that employs all 1099 contractors. It takes me less than 10 minutes to run payroll and get my employees paid and I am extremely satisfied with the service.

Pros:

Square Payroll was is the easiest, least complicated system I have found to run payroll. I used it for four years while owning a restaurant and it was simple to add new hires and remove employees who left the company. Square files your quarterly taxes, unemployment insurance, and workers comp with each payroll run so you don't have to visit and file in all the different portals. I never had any issues with getting my employees paid on time and Square offers multiple payment options which can be customized to work with each employee.

Cons:

There's nothing about Square payroll that I don't like. Square continues to add new features to help me grow my business and make payroll a breeze.

Perfection has brand new meaning

Comments: Cant sing enough praises

Pros:

Easy. Fast and right on time with a spirit of excellence

Cons:

If i had to say anything not so great. I would say the reemployment tax rate was a bit of an issue. But in the end all was resolved

Easy & Intuitive Payroll Software

Comments: Square's Payroll is insanely easy to use and navigate. I've been using it since Jan 1, 2015 and my only wish is that I started it sooner. I like that I can offer direct deposit to my employees and pick how often to pay them. They love it too because it's so simple, they don't have to worry about payroll. The backend for both me and my employees is also really easy to understand. I highly recommend it.

Pros:

It's easy to use and understand. My employees said signing up and filling out their w-2 info was the easiest ever. Nobody had to ask me (or their Mom's!), it's direct and in plain English. It calculates paid sick time for me (as per the new sick leave act in CA). Submitting my quarterly federal tax returns and CA quarterly report of wages is also easy. It's so easy I don't even know how to do it because Square does it automatically for me! Customer service is also great. One time I received a notice from EDD that I filed late, I called Square and they took care of it. My fee was waived, I haven't had an issue since.

Cons:

I wish the Pay history offered more sorting options like their Sales information. I'd like to be able to see it by year, month, quarter, etc. I know Payroll is still kinda "new" so it wouldn't surprise me if this is offered later.

Great for paying employees and keeping track of time and activities.

Comments: It's been essential to the operation of my business!

Pros:

My technicians can clock in and out. Type stories. And I can easily keep track of money they are owed and taxes and things like that.

Cons:

Nothing I could change about the software. It's been around long enough that they have practically perfected its use.

Gets rid of the headache

Comments: It was a lifesaver when we first implemented it. I was struggling to do payroll by myself. I'm not a details person and the software took care of all of it for me. It was perfect!

Pros:

The payroll services makes things easy and removes the headache and compliance worries.

Cons:

Haven't found any issues that are troublesome. It's working great for us.

Overall, Square is a great product that I expect will only improve with time. Excited where it goes!

Pros:

So easy to use and train new hires; multitude of features; off-line and mobile capabilities; constant updates that improve the app

Cons:

Bugs are slow to fix; very limited data and customer analysis possibilities; features are confusingly different in the dashboard and Square app; privacy protection for customers doesn't allow us to make important changes; expensive

If you cancel their service...BEWARE!

Comments: I will be looking for a completely new POS system as well as processor as this situation has left my small business in a bind halfway through January 2019.

Pros:

The software itself is fairly easy to utilize; however, if you happen to cancel your subscription beware as you will be on your own. I had reorganized and changed entities therefore, cancelled my Square subscription. When changing entities I acquired a new EIN for the LLC. Square has refused to provide W2's for my employees for the 2017 tax year for the Sole Prop EIN in which I used for the business while with Square. After several emails back and forth I just received confirmation that Square will not be completing W2's for my business as I cancelled my service.

Cons:

Customer service is extremely difficult with square as a whole. If you have any type of problem you will pretty much be on your own to research the internet or review conversation on the forum.

Great solution

Comments: I love it, it helps me stay organized

Pros:

I really like Square Payroll for the ability it gives me to manage my payroll in an organized manner. It also integrated really well with my Quickbooks online

Cons:

I like everything about this software and will keep using it until Quickbooks come up with a better solution for their payroll.
