HIGHLY RECOMMEND ONPAY
- Communication - From my first call I was so impressed at the level of care and compassion OnPay expressed. I was assigned specific employees who were available in the sign up process to walk me through each step and to answer all my questions. I know some of my questions were probably "stupid" but OnPay never minded answering them and I was always treated with respect.
- On Boarding - The nightmare I had experienced with a competitor became a dream with OnPay. They said if I would authorize them to sign onto my account they would take care of the sign up process. And they did!!! They also did it correctly. All of the numbers and information was error free. The only information I was required was input was direct deposit bank information.
- Resolving an Issue - I have only had one issue that needed to be resolved. The person I talked to had to check with another person for an answer but she stayed on the line with me to make sure the problem was resolved. Then I received a follow up email outlining exactly what action they had taken.
- Ease of using the website - I can find what I am looking for! I like the verification code. And every time I sign on to my account the red heart by our company name makes me smile.
- I would love to have the option of auto payroll. But everything else is so good this isn't a game changer.
- Would like to have a shorter advance timeline of submission.
Not using OnPay? You should be!
We've been using their services for over 5 years now and value what they bring to the table. From visibility, to ease of use, all the way through their reporting, the experience is excellent. Even through the occasional moments of needing a hand from their support staff it's been a wonderful to work with them.
I highly recommend OnPay!
We're a small company so I'm unaware of the options provided to streamline importing of large group payrolls, but that might be an area where the interface could provide challenges.
Happiest customer!
- Easy to navigate system.
- Excellent customer service whenever I have a question.
- The onboarding process was straight forward and headache free.
- Being open on Saturdays for inquiries.
Taking the Payroll Headache out of your Day-to-Day!
- OnPay responds promptly and informatively to questions we have had over our taxation requirements.
- OnPay provides a simple-to-use interface for our bi-monthly PayRoll
- OnPay has responded informatively over letters received from the IRS and has given us piece of mind that the regular tax payments, both state ad federal, are being handled correctly by the OnPay team.
- It would be god for OnPay to provide regular email updates that state and federal tax payments have been made.
- While it is possible to find out, by scrolling through various links on the website, whether OnPay has made critical state and federal tax payments, it is often had to find where to look if you are not full conversant with the tax code language.
- It would be good to be able to execute payroll in advance, in cases where the person doing payroll goes on vacation for longer than a couple weeks. Currently, OnPay only allows you to execute payroll for a current period, not a future period.

OnPay for Small NonProfits
- Relatively low payroll costs as there is a base fee plus an additional fee for each person being paid
- The monthly fees pay includes all payroll tax return filings, no additional fees charged later
- Customer support has been responsive though there appears to be cutback in the number of representatives in recent years. Before there was more online chats. Recent there have been more email response
- I would like to enter some payroll information in advance of the current payroll runs
- Adding and changing administrators was a bit cumbersome and took several days
- It works fine for a small number of people being paid if they can be seen on one screen but it might be cumbersome with more than about 10 people. Probably needs a better or different procedure with more people.
Much larger than that.....it may work with a stable workforce and salary that does not change much. But it can be cumbersome if lots of changes and hourly pay as it would require lots more input.

Seize your day with OnPay
The various reporting options allow me to pull data easily in various formats, so that I can easily obtain the necessary data quickly. When we transitioned to OnPay the system allowed me to send an invite to our employees to complete their information and register for access to their accounts. All of their information from check stubs to W-2s are there for them. If there are ever any changes to address information or direct deposit, the employee is able to handle that themselves. Then as an administrator it allows me to review and approve those changes.
The way that the platform is set-up it also allows me to have an employee's entire HR file electronically. I'm able to upload the necessary documents for tax and benefit purposes as well as additional HR items outside of on/off boarding. They also allow the input for tracking any PTO time and allows for approval by the administrator and adds those items to an internal calendar. It truly is system designed beyond payroll, so it makes this a true compliment to our business needs.
The customer service I receive, if there's a reason to contact a representative, is exceptional. Each team member is well versed in the system, so they're able to resolve any issues or questions quickly. They clearly understand any issues, are well versed in solutions or assistance, are always professional and nice, and feel more like an internal team member vs. an outside vendor. I have yet to work with any support representative that doesn't meet those standards. I also like that you have the option to reach out via phone, email, or chat. A majority of the time, I'm utilizing the chat feature. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for support.
- Customer support
- Platform functionality
- Above standard outside payroll vendor
- Ability to have all HR items electronically
- Reporting and tax filing capabilities
- Ability to customize my platform
- Partner with insurance companies to handle WC
- You can add additional additions or benefit items such as a car allowance. The process required me to contact a representative as that wasn't as easy to navigate.
- The process for handling additional withholdings for pre-payed taxes required support to ensure the calculations were accurate.
- Process for on-boarding is a little tricky if you don't start the process from the point of hire. You can add various things easily but it reflects differently in terms of completion of an Employee file.
One of our employees had a variance in his check between payroll cycles. After reaching out to Patrick, he was able to quickly identify that the variance was due to a change in withholdings. Our employee didn't remember making any changes, so Patrick did a bit more research to confirm what may have changed. After he completed his research, he discovered that with the way the tax forms are completed now, when he updated his profile to married, it changed that setting for him. He confirmed this information within an hour of our initial interaction and it was answered clearly and concisely.

OnPay and My Small Business
- Facilitates direct deposit and payroll communications to my employees.
- They provide a self-serve portal for employees to gather information, forms, and tax documents.
- Provides a neat secure online portal for management to maintain records protecting employees' PII.
- There are some areas in the UI that, unless you know where to "hover your mouse", are not intuitive.
- Payroll direct deposits take two days, which impacts my younger employees getting access to their money to pay bills.
