Amazing payroll platform
Reviewed on 01/11/2023
Pros
foundU is quick and easy to use. It makes the weekly pays a breeze. Rarely are there any issues, ad if there are the resource articles are so easy to follow and 9/10 times you can easily find what you need.
Cons
Ability for the app to work on mobile devices when there is no phone service or Wi-Fi would be great. If the employees could still clock on and off and it sends the update when they have connection again would help out immensely. Also a security update is needed that stops the app on personal devices using the device time and date settings which could be wrong or easily changed by a dishonest employee.

DeputyReasons for Switching to foundU
