About Payment Evolution

PaymentEvolution is the core platform of Canadian small business.

PaymentEvolution is the core platform of Canadian small business. It takes the most stressful part of being a boss—calculating taxes and paying the CRA—and turns it into a few clicks. It is the ideal choice for Canadian SMEs and accounting firms who want a reliable, cost-effective alternative to expensive legacy payroll providers. By focusing exclusively on the Canadian market, they provide a level of compliance and regional accuracy that generic global tools simply cannot match.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Bank-grade encryption and SSAE 16 compliant data centers ensure sensitive financial data is protected.
  • The PayChequer portal reduces the number of administrative requests HR receives for old pay stubs.
  • The link with Xero and QuickBooks is exceptionally robust, reducing bookkeeping time by hours each month.
  • It handles the nuances of Canadian provincial taxes perfectly.
Cons
  • Setting up initial pay rules and tax remittances requires a solid understanding of basic Canadian payroll laws.
  • The email-only support for lower tiers can be slow during peak tax seasons.
  • The web interface can feel slightly sluggish when processing very large payroll runs.
  • It cannot be used for employees based in the US or other international locations.
