Pros and Cons	Square Payroll integrates effortlessly with existing payroll providers, making it an ideal plug-and-play solution without the need for major system overhauls. Its simple and intuitive design makes payroll management easy even for business owners or HR teams with limited technical expertise. Built-in time tracking allows accurate logging of hours worked, which improves payroll precision and reduces manual errors. The platform accelerates employee payments, helping businesses meet payment deadlines and improve worker satisfaction. While great for small businesses, it may lack some of the advanced reporting, analytics, or customization features needed by larger enterprises. Full functionality may be best realized when used within the broader Square ecosystem, limiting flexibility for companies using other systems.		The self-service portal is intuitive and easy to navigate, offering features for payroll entry, custom reporting, and data access. Dedicated payroll specialists are knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive, resolving issues efficiently. Payroll automation eliminates the need for manual calculations by handling taxes, deductions, and filings at local, state, and federal levels. Integration with external systems (e.g., time cards, accounting software) streamlines payroll and reporting processes. Onboarding processes can be disorganized and manual, leading to errors and requiring additional oversight. Frequent turnover of payroll representatives affects continuity and consistency for some customers.
