Nice staff but they needed my bank to send all these details (that they already have) to them and the bank wouldn't do it. I agree with the bank completely. Why do you need my bank to send so many documents about my account? No other payroll companies ever needed this. We have to stand up to big US tech companies demanding so much info.

It sucks

It sucks. I can't event get into my account and use your time sheet. I have asked my accountant to have that fixed. If we can't, we will have to switch to another program that is reliable.

WagePoint is an AWESOME platform for businesses to pay their team. Easy to pay salaried and hourly staff, auto calculate stat pay and pay your payroll taxes. Easier than QBO (QuickBooks Online) which we used for 5 years. Highly recommend. Only feature that would be good to have is sending out invitations for teams to fill out their own info (T4, email et al) and to import from QBO with a CSV file. Otherwise great app that saves time. Thank you WagePoint.

Great customer Service

Has been a very easy process doing payroll wagepoint-and whenever I needed something extra, or had a question...step by step instructions have either been e-mailed to me, or I have received a phone call and been guided to exactly what I need.

Always friendly customer service!
