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.

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.

Version: Payroll Mate 2009 5.0.85
"DEMO, not try before you buy"
Pros: The user interface isn't horrible.
Cons: It's a DEMO, so it's really useless if you don't buy it. After painstakingly putting in all my info, I discovered it would not actually print checks or paystubs. Also does not calculate local taxes. Minimal customization ability.
Summary: Avoid wasting your time like the 6 hours I wasted using this piece of junk. I hate Intuit and all their bloatware products but they seem to be the only viable option if you actually want to do work. Was very disappointed as I have been a big propo... read more >>
