"Easy Transition to Checkwriters!"
5/5
What do you like best about Checkwriters?

They made the transition from our previous payroll company so easy! Our payroll specialist is usually always available and if not, someone else is there to answer questions and address any concerns we have. The platform is easy to navigate and took no time at all to learn how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkwriters?

To date, I don't have any complaints. We become a customer in June. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Long Time Client Not Going Anywhere Else"
4/5
What do you like best about Checkwriters?

Our company uses Checkwriters as our payroll provider, and I've worked with them directly for about 6 or 7 years. I appreciate their user portal's simplicity as well as their responsive and knowledgeable customer accounts specialists. Checkwrtiters has been able to accommodate our multiple companies and their unique payroll structures with ease. They offer a variety of timekeeping and payroll solutions, allowing for our company's growth and changing HR processes. They've also been very receptive to my feedback as a user and are constantly working to improve their software and offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkwriters?

Although I love that a human always answers the phone, it can sometimes be frustrating when I can't reach the customer specialists familiar with my accounts' particulars. I've also found a few areas where their software could be improved. I know they know where they have room to improve and have plans to address them soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dakota Hebert of Checkwriters

"Love CheckWriters!"
5/5
What do you like best about Checkwriters?

The customer service is amazing! I always hear about other payroll companies being difficult to reach, but CheckWriters is always available to help by email or phone. We don't use all of their features, but they have a very robust system with different platforms, and it's great to have everything in one system. I don't need to use another HR system on top of the payroll. We've been using CheckWriters for over 12 years, and I've never needed to look into another provider, as I've been happy with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkwriters?

It would be nice if they could update their platform more often with users' feedback for simple items that could make our experience easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dakota Hebert of Checkwriters

Hello Stephanie, we're glad to hear that our support team has had your back for 12 years! It's great that you've been able to use Checkwriters for Payroll, HR, and Onboarding without having to manage separate systems. You'll be excited to know that our Development Team is currently working on modernizing several major components of our platform incorporating user feedback.

"Outstanding, but I didn't rely a whole lot on my rep, so I didn't need much."
5/5
What do you like best about Checkwriters?

I Had a specific rep to talk with if I needed help, which helped to develop a reliable relationship with someone who would know my needs more quickly.

One of the top things your company did was take on the Simple IRA deferrals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkwriters?

Because I was self-sufficient and did most of the work on your online portal, There wasn't much interaction with your company. I honestly can't say there was anything I disliked. But if I have to give an example, there was one time I was on hold for way too long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dakota Hebert of Checkwriters

"Friendly and professional customer service"
5/5
What do you like best about Checkwriters?

All of my payroll data is contained in one place. Our account representative is knowledgeable and helpful in using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkwriters?

Some of the reports are difficult to run. If an employee changes a department, when you run a historical report, they don't show up in thier prior department - only the new one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dakota Hebert of Checkwriters

Hello Lori, thanks for your positive feedback! Really pleased to hear that the all-in-one software is valuable to you and that our service is helpful too. Please know that there are reporting options which would allow you to view wages from employees' prior departments, and we would be happy to discuss further - please send us an email at ClientSuccess@checkwriters.com.

"Helpful, personal service"
4/5
What do you like best about Checkwriters?

Local office, personal service from representatives, friendly & helpful staff, reliability and timeliness of reports. Delivery is helpful. I like that they are willing to keep doing it "old school" for us without pressure to have us key our own payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkwriters?

High rate of payroll representative staff turnover, frequently training someone new to handle our complicated payroll. I have had over 10 reps in my 10 years working with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dakota Hebert of Checkwriters

Hi Carla, thank you for the great comments about our team and we're happy you find our software and service has been flexible to the needs of your school. We understand there can be frustrations when your account specialist changes - we've had to navigate some turnover the past few years like many businesses but don't worry, as we've built out a more robust training program as our Client Support department grows and we're excited to welcome these new specialists to the team. Thank you again!
