Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 38 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. People frequently struggle to reach customer support, mentioning extremely long wait times, unhelpful automated bots, and a complete lack of human assistance when urgent problems arise. Many users also experienced severe issues with payroll processing, unexpected system errors during migration, and frustrating account lockouts that severely delayed employee payments. Though some reviewers noted that the previous version of the software worked well and was straightforward and simple to use. A few customers also mentioned that timely assistance was available and management handled previous problems smoothly when the digital platform functioned properly.

Love it most of the time

Love it most of the time. Only time discontent happens is when staff quit and have to be paid out in an "off cycle pay" and doing the final holiday pay etc. Insructions are confusing. The assistance provided is always great and for us is fairly prompt

I don't know what's happening to your app but I encounter the same issue each time I try to login. Now, I cannot login because it says "invalid username". I hit the "forgot password" and here I am being bounced back and forth from hitting Reset password in your email to Restore Password and back to Reset... It is soooo frustrating.

The reliability of the platform has been pretty good so far. However, it is increasingly difficult to reach a real person for support when we're having an issue that is urgent.

Great payroll program for small business

Very easy to use program once setup and setup was not hard. They are willing to customize some reports as needed. Support has always been responsive.
I have looked at Gusto and other payroll apps, but none beat Wagepoint on price with similar functionality.

Cons: We have had a few instances where SUI and FUTA were not updated automatically in Wagepoint. So we continue to double check the number every quarter/yearly. Not a big deal but the only issue I have found.
