While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Control Over How/When Taxes are Paid

Once everything was setup and my tax authority accounts were connected, payroll processing has worked flawlessly for the last decade plus.
I like the control over how and when I'm taxed at my convenience. As a closely held S-Corp, as my W2 payroll is managed by Patriot, I pay extra to account for corporate taxes early in the year so I will never get caught short at tax time. Thank you Patriot Payroll Services.

Owner/operator

It was pretty easy to enter the information while signing on and entering employee info. Some of the details about things like paid leave and accrual time were at first hard to figure out. However I really liked that I could chat with a rep for clarification. Also, the help section was very good at outlining steps for a task.
