“I highly recommend the HR Advisory service, it's been exceptional for us. Having HR Advisory on-call has given me peace of mind around legal compliance. It has meant that we can do things by the book.”

Neil Summers, VP North American Operations

“When I'm on Powerpay and am about to submit payroll, the system prompts me to verify the data. I am able to review everything, which is now much easier than it used to be before using Powerpay.”

Andrea Teather, CEO

“My assistant was able to get a car loan without leaving the dealership. She was able to log into Powerpay on her phone and bring up her pay stubs, and the dealership took screenshots. They didn't have to ask for an employment letter because the record is there.”

Thomas Watson Jr., Owner
