Questions we'll ask the vendor for you
If their leadership can't answer these, your team will end up teaching them your job.
- Can it show compa-ratio by band and location out of the box?
- What happens when an employee moves states mid-month?
- Who on your team has actually run payroll?
Full refund if onboarding isn't successful.
Before you sign, we agree clear success milestones with you in writing: go-live date, data migrated, adoption, first real run. If they're missed, you get your money back. You won't get this clause buying direct.
Success milestones and the onboarding period are agreed in writing before you sign. If they're missed, we refund your onboarding and licence fees in full. T&Cs apply.
