We moved to Paychex in late June 2023.   Overall I'm satisfied but be careful with the promises on the timeline.   I supposedly wasn't going to have to do anything but I've spent endless hours making sure our data was correct.  It does depend on who you get for implementation.  As is the case in any implementation.

I just went live with the GL "feed".   We are using Sage 100 Contractor.  Hardly anything integrates with it so this is a copy paste scenario for me.   It is still a big times savings.  We have our data allocate by worked department but i don't see any reason that it wouldn't work correctly by job.

They also have EXCELLENT work comp rates.   I was able to save us over $17,000 this year.  Check it out.

I was going to move our benefits over to Paychex but they over promised, and we would miss our open enrollment, if I didn't back out of the deal.   Still worth looking at but make sure you plan ahead.

Are you using Sage 100 or 300?

100 Contractor

Thank you for the feedback!

Rachel, 

I'm not familiar with those vendors, we use Paycor.  Just wanted to note that if you run payroll in a third party (not originating in Sage) you will lose your employee level detail when you import into job cost.  This may or may not be significant to your business practices.  Just wanted to bring light to it.  If you are using the cost-based billing in BL I would encourage you to truly understand the change this will make, a lot of the third parties aren't aware of how this can affect billings.  If you aren't doing cost based then it likely won't be as impactful.  Happy to chat more if you have questions about this or Paycor (I know they weren't one of your options).

 Abby,  I am also looking at outsourcing our payroll and I do use the Cost-based billing, how does using a 3rd party affect cost-based billing?

Thanks,

Jeannie

Jeannie, 

It depends how they bring their information into Sage.  If they are able to bring time into the payroll module (most time keeping only products do this) and process/post in payroll nothing should change.  If they want to import into job cost (most full payroll products do this), you lose the cost by employee (typically).  The flow of information into JC then into BL comes through in a different format than PR to BL.  This is important to note based on your rate table setup, what information you're providing on your billings to customers etc.  I'm happy to hop on a call next week if you'd like to talk more in depth.
