Papaya Payroll Likes & Dislikes

Like

Professional team, great knowledge base, ease of use

Like

EoR and Contract Management: Enables faster hiring across the UK and EU without setting up local entities, which is critical for technical recruiting at scale. Compliance confidence: Strong understanding of regional employment laws and payroll requirements, reducing risk during cross-border hiring. Centralized payroll and payments: One platform for payroll, contractor management, payments and reporting simplifies coordination between recruiting, HR and finance teams. Support availability: Support teams are knowledgeable and helpful when resolving country-specific or employment related queries.

Like

We appreciate that the platform is easy to use, has great customer support and integration features. To start, from an administrative perspective the platform is very user-friendly. The platform's dashboard is labelled very accurately for ease of navigation. If there are no changes from month to month in payroll, the approval time is less than 5 minutes. Additionally, customer support has always been quick to respond if you have any labor law questions. Lastly, the platform allows you to integrate Bamboo time off to optimize the time spent entering in PTO. This integration would be really useful if you have a large number of staff on payroll.

Dislike

None, the product is meeting our global needs

Dislike

Onboarding and initial setup required significant coordination and took longer than expected. Some of the platform workflows are not very intuitive for non-payroll users. Status visibility on certain processes (e.g. onboarding or changes) could be clearer.

Dislike

There is only one weakness that comes to mind. One weakness is the integration with Bamboo. We have set up an integration to have time off in Bamboo captured in Papaya and unfortunately, it is not always accurate. For instance, if time off was entered in Bamboo past the cut off date in Papaya it will not sync. The integration does save time; however, a double check is always needed to ensure accuracy.
