## Reviews

### "Very Poor Company" — 1.0/5

> **Mike** | *December 16, 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked that it is a Canadian company...
> 
> **Cons**: The fact that we signed on to Knit and they started inputting our information to get set up and then they ghosted our company and did not respond to multiple emails and voice messages to finalize the set up.
> 
> Very poor, would not recommend to anyone in good conscience.

### "Knit is Awesome\!" — 5.0/5

> **Gina** | *January 8, 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very user friendly for payroll processing for small business but has all the bells and whistle to deal with complexities. Love the help articles they are extremely helpful and easy to follow. Customer Support team is also a plus, they are very helpful and patient. Year end processing is also very straight forward and I absolutely love the reminder emails for payroll processing this is  a great support\!
> 
> **Cons**: Although understandably needed the 2FA is annoying.
> 
> Overall experience now that I have a experience with the software is great and very happy with Knit.

### "Honest review of Knit - would recommend." — 4.0/5

> **Chloe** | *December 16, 2024* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to control which additions/deductions are added to each pay and the ease of which employees can have multiple wage rates. The interface is very user friendly\!
> 
> **Cons**: There is no double overtime feature which results in having to do more manual calculations/sending explanations to the employees for these. As well there is no square integration which would be very helpful to reduce the manual entry for hours.
> 
> Overall my experience is very positive\! I have implemented it with a few different businesses now.

### "Great payroll app for a small business" — 4.0/5

> **Mary** | *December 21, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and price point for the scale of our business.&#10;Great support responsiveness when needed.
> 
> **Cons**: I’d like to be able to edit notes after posting.
> 
> Two years managing payroll for a small business.  Love that it will provide reporting for finance and HR needs.

### "Better than QBO Payroll" — 4.0/5

> **Matt** | *January 14, 2025* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We switched from quickbooks payroll to knit as we outgrew what quick books could offer and it is was quite streamline. It was easy to input historical year data as we switched mid-year. It is great that Knit submits taxes for us and that you can file ROE's through knit rather than having to create and ROE web account.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be nice if the manual entry payroll would calculate the employer portion themselves since it is just a direct calculation rather than having us have to input and calculate ourselves. It seems like it could be possible as Knit normally calculates this themselves while processing regular payrolls
> 
> It was a nice switch from quickbooks. Having multiple available wage rates was absolutely necessary for this company and it was a great help.
