It was like a different world had been opened up to me. ----- ### "Thesaurus is an Excellent Payroll Software" — 5.0/5 > **Diana** | *13 December 2021* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like it's simplicity most of all. It really is fool proof\! Also the access to internal and external information is very useful. Having videos to show how to process a particular payment or deduction must be very helpful for new users. > > **Cons**: There is very little I don't like about Thesaurus Payroll. The only thing I can think of is that when you update the payroll taxes with payments or EWSS PRSI credits it kicks you back to the main menu and you have to go back in again to see the updated figures. > > Excellent\! ----- ### "Popular and easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Seejal** | *30 June 2022* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, good customer support and very widely used > > **Cons**: Sometimes received error during tax breakdown and integration issues also needs to be improved ----- ### "Excellent Customer Support" — 5.0/5 > **Sheila** | *14 December 2021* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very effecient and easy to use and any issues are dealt with by the customer support team straight away For example the constant changes in Covid Supports. The customer support team were excellent in sorting out payroll issues and their online webinars to boost with Revenue Officials giving expert advice. > > **Cons**: There is nothing I do not like about the Thesaurus. > > Excellent Service ----- ### "The most important member of our TEAM ........... Thesaurus" — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *21 December 2021* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's so easy to use, the reporting is fantastic, we utilise the weekly "View PAYE, USC and PRSI workings" to inform staff of their deductions. It is very informative and encourages our new staff to take ownership of their tax credits and visit gov.ie. We also use the weekly reports and revenue reporting options. I would also commend the fantastic Covid-19 updates and webinars. Even though we were not directly affected by the changes, we learnt alot from the on-line sessions, we learnt from others sharing information. Thanks to all involved. > > **Cons**: Nothing really, but reporting in real time means we have to prioritise the Payroll Task on a weekly basis. > > I am very confident using Thesaurus Payroll Manager as I know the Support Line are only a phone call away. Their knowledge and experience is top class. I am always dealt with efficiently. Really great service from our end. Payroll is simple for me to execute, but when I find myself in trouble, my heart nearly misses a beat, I rely on the support team for that dig out, there HELP is very much appreciated. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/33702/thesaurus-payroll-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/33702/thesaurus-payroll-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
