The payroll functionality allows for correcting of pay stubs.
What is most valuable?
How has it helped my organization?
If there was an error on an employee's pay during the payroll auditing process, we would have to correct the error and send it off for validation, which could take another 20-30 minutes to verify. If it was wrong, you do it all over again. With UltiPro, I fix the error and can see immediately if everything is correct.
What needs improvement?
A chat feature for customer support would be great. Some questions are simple that we shouldn't have to create a case just to get an answer for (emails do not get answered for several days, if at all). I’ve found that often times I have a quick question that I need answered, and when I send an email, I don’t get a reply back or the reply takes several days. For example, what time would I need to have payroll submitted by in order to make sure I have checks by a certain date. I’m not a phone person (or it could be that I’m on the phone with someone else and I don’t want to disrupt that call) so I thought it would be nice if they had a chat feature so I could ask my question, then move on. I only want to have to create a case if something needs fixing or if I need help performing a task or getting something set up. Many companies nowadays have a chat feature when you go to their websites if you need help or just have questions when trying to find something.
