## Reviews

### "Simple Payroll Solution" — 3.0/5

> **Syeda** | *August 1, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I would rate Payroll Manager 3 out of 5 stars overall. It offers reasonable value for money and includes the main features needed to process payroll without being overly complicated. The ease of use is decent once you're familiar with the software, although the interface feels a little outdated. Employee management covers the essentials, and the banking and money management tools work well for creating payment files and payroll records. I've experienced a few minor bugs and issues, such as occasional slow performance, but nothing that stopped me from completing payroll. Customer support has been helpful when I've needed assistance, although response times can vary.
> 
> **Cons**: Although Payroll Manager gets the job done, there are several areas that could be improved. The user interface feels outdated, which affects the overall ease of use, especially for new users. I've also come across a few bugs and issues, including occasional slow loading and minor glitches when updating payroll records. While the software offers fair value for money, it lacks some of the advanced features available in newer payroll systems. Employee management works for basic tasks but could be more flexible. The banking and money management tools are functional but limited, and customer support can sometimes take longer than expected to resolve more complex queries.

> 
> **Pros**: Makes monthly payroll very quick and easy. Customer services are very helpful if you need them
> 
> **Cons**: Doesn't integrate with Quickbooks or FindmyShift
> 
> We've used Payroll Manager for years and never had any issues. It's straightforward to use and there and plenty of tutorials online. Updates come through regularly and it gets all the latest legislative changes and applies them automatically. Payslips are produced automatically and emailed to staff straight from the software. The few times I've had queries/issues, customer services are super easy to get hold of and very polite and helpful

### "Meets all the payroll needs of a small business" — 4.0/5

> **Alka** | *March 8, 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy interface; straightforward to set up; Simple to add employees and track holidays. I used it for shift work where staff worked odd hour shifts, was able to track holidays and sick pay
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes not completely intuitive but was able to get support quickly to work through the issues. Interface for MacBook could be improved.
> 
> Overall, I was happy with my using of the software, interfaced with HMRC, meaning the business was compliant for reporting and produced relevant reports for accounts.
