Finding a reliable payroll service in cannabis has been difficult. I've used a number of payroll options throughout the past few years and the biggest problem encountered is that all previous payroll services evolve away from cannabis clients. UZIO was a great choice for us from the beginning of our search

• It it a little slow portal
• Creation of leaves could be an feature to be get added

• We have a shift that crosses midnight and the system resets OT calculation when it becomes a new day, but in CA OT is calculated on hours worked and doesn’t split a shift at midnight for OT purposes. So far they have been unable to address this as it's not an issue in other states.
• Holiday Pay has been an issue because of our policy - too many changing variables to create a process. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust holiday pay on the employee's timesheet. That would be the simplest solution but so far that hasn't happened.
• Non-US Citizen beneficiary. This is not an option when electing benefits. Not a big deal unless you have employees with families abroad. We had one and we created a work around.
• Everything has to be downloaded. You cannot click on an employee's pay stub (for example) and view it within UZIO. It must be downloaded to your computer. Not a big deal - just takes more time and more files to delete on your computer.

Has some blips that have been stated throughout this review that can be fixed, I do not want to fully repeat myself however a more intuitive interface, interface that does not lag, and then glitches with service would be ideal. That's about all I can say on the matter, pertaining to what I have access to in my org.

This has been the cheapest option compared to others and it has a lot of modules to choose as options. I am not on the decision-making committee to choose the app as a user PeopleStrong had made the people strong. As a growing organization with multiple users around the world, the need to have an app that has smooth working on the phone is a major reason to switch to PeopleStrong

Compared to QuickBooks Online (QBO), UZIO has been a game changer. QBO refused to process our payroll due to our industry (cannabis), and even their accounting platform often takes ages to load. UZIO, on the other hand, runs quickly, has had no significant downtime from bugs or maintenance, and is far more affordable. The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy for both our HR staff and employees to use.

Incentivized

• Increase recruitment process
• Saves time
• Database management

• UZIO has had a positive impact on the time it takes to onboard/offboard or complete payroll.
• UZIO is much more affordable that some of the other HRIS systems.
• The only negative is that they do not have a performance mgmt system.
