What differentiates Patriot Payroll from other similar products?
Patriot Payroll offers excellent value for the price, esp. if your is a very small business. Very good service and an excellent feature set, whether you choose to remit payroll taxes and file tax forms yourself, or choose to have Patriot perform those tasks for you. There's a lot of competing providers offering similar services. Patriot is among the least expensive and yet they provide a very simple, intuitive user experience, both when it comes time to run a payroll and for initial setup. Patriot easily belongs on the short list for any small business looking for a reliable online payroll service.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Very easy setup and an extremely intuitive and simple user experience, when it is time to run payroll or file quarterly and annual returns. A robust set of standard reports with a suitable level of customization available. Good customer service. An attractive price point for the small business looking for an accurate and reliable online payroll service.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Unlike some of its competitors, Patriot Payroll deducts payroll taxes from the employer's bank account the day after the payroll is run, rather than when the tax remittance is due. Presumably Patriot is making some income on holding these funds, sometimes for as long as nearly 3 months, in the case of taxes which are remitted only after the quarter ends. It would be good if this reduced the possibility of fee increases. However, Patriot increased their fees in early 2022 and as a result their fees are very close to those of their competitors. The fee increase certainly loses some price point advantage Patriot Payroll once enjoyed.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Despite the recent increase in their fees, Patriot Payroll belongs on the short list of online payroll services to be compared by any small business looking for a reliable online payroll service provider. Setup is made easier if it's done at the end of taxing quarter or, even better, before the beginning of a new tax year. That said, Patriot makes setup very easy, no matter when the transition takes place.
