CLIENT SELF-SERVICE FEATURES

In July 2010, CenterPoint Payroll released its Publish Pay Advice Tool, which is a module that allows companies to publish employee direct deposit advices to a secure web portal for anywhere, anytime access to paystubs. This optional module eliminates the need to print and mail a paper advice for each employee every pay period. However, because this review section primarily addresses SaaS-based products and the extensive feature sets available in web-based products in this area, no rating was assigned in to this review section for CenterPoint.
