Advantage Payroll Services offers a wide variety of payroll processing options. Their online payroll offering is called Instant Payroll. It can be used independently of or in conjunction with HR Counselor for the Web for clients who would also like to take advantage of their Human Resources management program.

Instant Payroll is designed to be easy to use. Still, it includes an extensive user reference guide and customer support representatives are available for any one-on-one assistance that may be required. The entirely web based program can be used to maintain employee records, set up new employees and produce payroll, as the name implies, instantly. Changes are reflected immediately and complete payroll statement is available for review online as soon as changes have been made. The service provides online management reports in a variety of printable formats.

Advantage Payroll Services’ processes are owned by Paychex; however, each regional operator is a franchisee who has complete autonomy with regard to the pricing of services. As a result, we were not able to obtain meaningful pricing data for the purposes of this review. For those interested in further details about this service, contact Advantage directly or one of the regional offices listed on their web site.
