What do you like best about Inova Payroll?

INOVA Payroll is well throughout program, built around queries. Initially we were looking for a better payroll company, having left one of the top 3 worldwide, where we had horrible client support and paid 3 times what we get with INOVA. The Sales to Implementation team functions as a unit, if there is a question/concern immediately taken care of and communication is outstanding. Currently, building out the custom HRIS portion and I am truly amazed with what this system can do. Super easy to learn and adapt too, my managers and office staff use it throughout the day. In my career, this will be the six integration and the smoothest one as well. If you are looking for a new payroll company - highly recommend scheduling a demo, you won't be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inova Payroll?

Not much to be honest. I'd love to see an interactive communication portion imbedded that would make communicating with employees via a text/call right from the HRIS side. Would be a dream for most of us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inova Payroll solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are in the landscape industry and our crew hours are linked into our AR, therefore it's an export into INOVA to process payroll. We will be joining a test group that will transfer crew data daily for us to process under TLM. Also, they are always open to suggestion and points of view on how companies operate.

What do you like best about Inova Payroll?

I like that the INOVA payroll system is easy to use. After each step, you must check that you completed each step, ensuring nothing is missed. If I have a question, INOVA support is quick to respond and helps me with my issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inova Payroll?

I find that finding what reports I want is sometimes difficult based on their title. Once you find them, you can save them for future need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inova Payroll solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had an issue where an employee was taking an HSA deduction in 2025. Since they will be going to Medicare this year, their accountant recommended to reverse the HSA deduction. INOVA support helped me through that issue. Sometimes payroll is more than just putting in hours and salaries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inova Payroll?

My employees have access to their own PR information, their hours, can request time off - all of which saves me time. Reporting capabilites are fantastic and so easy to use but if I get stuck I can easily get help from my Account Manager Theresa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inova Payroll?

Really nothing I can think of - a bit of a learning curve when you start out - sometimes there are a lot of places to put "things" on the T&A side so it's a lot to remember initially. But, support is right there to help so you are not stuck for long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inova Payroll solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making it easier to track overtime, other payroll reports, attendance, that the supervisors have easy visibility of their employees times and info, employees can easily request/change time off. Reporting for outside sources is easier as well - WC reports for audits, EEO reports for annual reporting - both of these took much longer in our previous system. I love that I can make my own reports and if I can't figure it out, someone can help me pretty quickly. In the previous system (current ERP system) reports/dashboard/forms are clunky and hard to make or change unless you are a programmer (I'm not.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inova Payroll?

We are a small business and have had a few payroll questions or changes that have needed to be made. Not only is Inova willing to make the changes, but they have also instructed me through what they have done and what I could do if it comes up again. Their communication is clear and super responsive. Cannot imagine any company doing a better job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inova Payroll?

Our company has not experienced any downside at all to using Inova Payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inova Payroll solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have needed manual checks taxed up and run through payroll, we have had employees go from salary to hourly, and went from having a building to working remotely, along with other changes. Inova Payroll has walked me through each of these situations along with many others that have come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inova Payroll?

The program does what it is supposed to do. I suppose that should be a given, but obviously not always the case. I was using one version of their software and it was very easy to use. I recently switched versions, so it's a little confusing, but I am scheduled for training on that.

I think the best thing about the company is the support I receive. Support tickets do not remain open for long. They are also very open to suggestions. There was a time when I was struggling with support, and they fixed the problems I was having quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inova Payroll?

I think that the only complaint I have had recently is that the reports are not very customizable. If I need something changed, I need to reach out to support to create a new report. This might be a feature and not a bug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inova Payroll solving and how is that benefiting you?

What I like is that it's a robust system that really gets the job done, but I am not forced to use (or pay for) features that I don't want or need. Maybe one weakness is that they don't put a hard sell on me to purchase more services. I know they have other products, but no one has reached out to see if any of them would be helpful.

It is easy to find the employee information when needed. Approving payroll and time off requests is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inova Payroll?

When processing payroll it doesn't seem like the steps are in order and it never lets me know when each step is complete. This is just on my computer though, it works on my assistant's computer so it is probably an in-house IT issue, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
