Clients sign on for the service, realize the excellent personal attention they receive and recommend RITZ to their friends and business partners. 2) Lorri.......Lorri is the reason for the success of RITZ. Not just the services RITZ provides but also the friendly, knowledgable person on the other end of the phone, email or text always there to assist an employer......usually for no additional fee. She is not just a data entry person but is a graduated of Bentley University and is an Enrolled Agent with the Internal Revenue Service.

This company has no idea what they're doing. The biggest issue? When an employee hits the…read morecontribution limit for 401k contributions in a year, they have no way to stop the deductions from an employee's paycheck. The biggest issue that affects me? They can't develop the necessary reports we need to run our business. For example, I need a simple headcount report that reports all the active and termed employees within a certain timeframe (not always on a calendar year basis) and they're not able to do that. I've been working with their report developers to get such a report and we're going in to our 9th month of "development" and they still can't get the report correct. Additionally, their "standard" reports keep changing. Some reports I need only on a yearly basis, but so far each year I go to use the report it's been changed from the previous year (different column orders, different data included in the report, etc.) and my macros and vlookup formulas no longer work properly. I'm in my second year with them and I have to keep changing MY process to get the data I need. Basically, they're unreliable and apparently have no idea what they're doing.

MassPay has been great! We use their services for two small businesses and they are soooo reliable!…read moreTheir rates are fair, and their customer service is excellent. I know I have met Marie and she is wonderful, so kind and friendly and knowledgeable. It's so great working with a company that understands our needs and also explains each step of the process. Also, I joined in on a free webinar they provided that was partnered with a local law office (I don't have my notes in front of me so I can't remember the name but will happily give them a review as well) and it was so easy and informative. They walked us through the changes in the MA sick leave laws. In tandem they went through explaining each portion of the law all the way down to what that means for liability and payroll. It was so easy to follow and understand, seriously great job! Thank you so much for being a company that is genuinely likable and not solely focused on being liked. Being a young female small business owner is no small feat, but working with MassPay has taken a huuuuuge strain off, by knowing that we are working with a company that also believes in the validity of a "handshake deal"

My company uses Intuit QuickBooks as our all-inclusive system for purchase orders, invoices, and accounts payable and receivable. We decided to continue the payroll services when we switched from the desktop version of QuickBooks to Online. While my bosses are comfortable paying for the fees, it frustrates me how much they charge each month. Don't get me wrong, their online application is easy to use and I have many tools at my disposal, but good lawd it's pricey: Payroll Elite Worker Charge: 8 at $10 per employee = $80 Sales Tax/VAT/GST - Standard: $5.25 Total for this item: $85.25 This is on top of a QuickBooks Online Payroll Elite fee that we have a 50% discount (-$62.50). Right now it is $125 per month. Another Sales Tax/VAT/GST - Standard: $5.25. It is also on top of a QuickBooks Online Advanced fee just to use the entire app: $200. We also have a 50% discount (-$100) for this. The current price $200 per month. Yet another Sales Tax - Standard rate was charged for this portion of the bill: $6.56. Not very user-friendly for noobs (er, newbies - that is, first-timers) or accountants who refuse to learn QuickBooks Online, though!
