No way I am calling you for a price
We’ve outgrowing the manual payroll process we’ve been using so far so
I was looking for a managed payroll solution.
I already knew about ADP and Ceridian but decided to quickly check
with Uncle Google to see if there are other options in Canada. Turns
out that, yes, there are other providers.
I checked out all the sites and one thing they have in common is
tricking you in giving them your info (incl mandatory phone number) so
that they can “give you a quote” or asking you to call them. Typical
enterprise sales cycle. I fucking hate it.
Ceridian was the only exception. They have a clear and well designed
website. Their pricing is transparent. I can even sign up for their
service online. I don’t care if they are a bit more expensive (and I
bet you they are not) but I will never get sucked into some big
company’s CRM and get hounded by commission-seeking
salespeople/vultures.
Ceridian just got my business by being clear with their pricing and
making it easy for me to sign-up. Sound like a no brainer but
apparently it is not in that industry.
