Payroll Mate 2009 provides tools for managing your business's payroll. With its simple operation and great features, it's is a great option for users in charge of a small business' finances.
Even if you've never handled any company's payroll, large or small, Payroll Mate is easy to get started with. We were able to slip right into the interface and control everything with ease. The program's Wizard holds your hand every step of the way as it walks you through the setup and data entry stages. The Wizard is most helpful when entering a new employee's information into the database. You can quickly handle all relevant information, such as address, salary, deductions, marital status, and more. Once you've completed this, Payroll Mate automatically tallies all taxes and withholdings, which saves you time and reduces errors by doing the math for you. Payroll Mate automatically translates this financial information into a paycheck that looks exactly like what you'd expect to see in a traditional paycheck. From adding new employees to cutting them a check, the whole process took less than 5 minutes, which was amazing. Payroll Mate also lets you run reports and make detailed evaluations of payroll, employees, budgets, and more. We've tested several payroll programs, and Payroll Mate ranks right up there as one of the best.
Payroll Mate 2009 is free to try for 30 days. By swiftly moving the payroll process along with its handy Wizard, it earns our high recommendation.

Pros: Basic Tax Summary
That's ItCons: Basic Summary...Very overpriced for what (little) it does.
I have used Quicken payroll for years...great program and great value
But now it has become too expensive.
CNET What were you thinking One star is tooo muchSummary: Worthless piece of junk.
I paid extra for California forms...when opened...they said they don't support California forms...also many of the information boxes have sections missing and the help information is also of little value.

Version: Payroll Mate 2009 5.0.85
Pros: I used this software as a replacement for quickpayroll which got discontinued..I can't say payroll mate had everything I needed, but I was able to customize it to fit my requirements.was able to create my own tax and deduction types which is great.
Cons: export to quicken is not available in the 2009 version, it's available in the 2010 one. BTW I had to go to payroll mate website to download a demo for 2010, not sure when this will be available on download.com.
Summary: would recommend especially if you are a quickpayroll user and looking for a replacement

Version: Payroll Mate 2009 5.0.85
Pros: I use MSOA (Microsoft Accounting) and I had to find a payroll software last month after payroll for office accounting from ADP got discontinued. For $99, Payroll Mate was perfect for our small company.
Cons: I would like to see the ability to interface with EFTPS added to the software.
