Excellent response times and clear advice given. The matter was a sensitive, confidential matter and it was resolved very quickly.
Additional queries were not an issue and the person handling the call (Ciara) took responsibility to liaise with appropriate colleagues.

Highly recommended!

We joined payescape at a time when our organisation lacked the staff with payroll experience. We found the system straightforward and the implementation team were excellent at getting the onboarding process completed. Our experience was further enhanced when we were joined by an employee who had excellent payroll skills and she was able to understand the system fully, recognise timeframes and appreciate time sensitive pressures. I have always found the staff friendly and approachable and we also joined hrescape as we were so impressed by the service provided. In a world of every changing staffing issues and changes to HMRC systems, it is very reassuring to know that we are working with a company who have their fingers on the payroll and HR pulse and are able to advise accordingly. There is no hard sell either, it is very much built around your company and what they need and require. I would highly recommend payescape for their professional approach, good customer service and attention to detail all whilst remaining grass roots, friendly and approachable.

Great tool to process your payroll, support is awesome!

We moved to Payescape per April 2023. We used to outsource the payroll but are now able to do the payroll ourselves, even though we are no UK payroll experts (based in Netherlands).

The implementation process was quick and easy. You have a dedicated implementation account manager and they will help you if needed. Response time is quick.

We just finalized our 3rd pay run and the portal is straight forward and our implementation account manager is still there to help us with anything.

What we love:
- Quick response time from support
- Easy to navigate portal
- Able to run the whole payroll yourself without needing a 3rd party
- Able to generate all draft payroll files before approving the pay run
- No extra charges for things like adding a new pay component

Poor Communication and Slow Service

We started with the service in October 2022. The implementation was problematic and communication was poor. It took until February 23 to resolve the outstanding issues with me chasing constantly to get any answers. The last 2 months of processing payroll online has been slow and I'm told it's due to the number of people accessing it at the same time, which I think is a poor excuse for a payroll system. I have tried several times to process payroll today before I go on annual leave but the system is having Technical Issues. Technical issues happen, but I have received no communication and have no idea when it will be working. All in all generally poor.

Hi Sarah,

Many thanks for your feedback, and allowing us to investigate further.

We are disappointed to learn you were experiencing issues yesterday, and failed to receive a full explanation. For clarity, there was essential maintenance work being carried out on the portal, by our Development Team, that related to enhancements and updates of the functions. Whilst we fully appreciate that this impacted your user experience, and that you did not receive a full explanation at the time, we do want to emphasise that the maintenance updates will be highly beneficial once completed.

In the interim, we do wish to express our apologies for any oversight in communicating this to you, and that we have now asked your personal point of contact to reach out directly; with the aim of providing some additional support towards streamlining your services and communication reference going forward.

We look forward to speaking to you in due course.

Good Company, Good Service

We outsourced our payroll to Payescape earlier this year. Overall we are very satisfied and happy with the service provided. Implementation went well and in a fairly short time scale. At all times the staff at Payescape are helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. There are occasional errors/blips but they are resolved quickly. We are happy with the choice we made when outsourcing our payroll and have signed up for HRescape as well.
