“Using Reckon Payroll has been highly advantageous for us.
We have looked at various different solutions in the market and this has been the only one that really fits the model that our business runs. Most of our staff will only work maybe a maximum of 7 hours a week with us. The Reckon Payroll system has been really good at allowing us to be very complex with our payables to our staff, and we’re able to turn around a complex payroll for more than 40 staff a week in less than an hour.”
