Cloud-based HCM platform for small and mid-sized businesses covering payroll, time tracking, HR, and benefits administration. Customers choose it for accessible self-service and fast payroll turnaround; they leave when support responsiveness falters.
In its favor
Why people choose Asure
The signal that keeps Asure on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Bundled all-in-one stack — Asure consolidates payroll, tax filing, HR, time and attendance, and benefits in a single platform priced per-employee-per-month, removing the need to wire together separate point tools for an SMB.
Tax compliance focus — reviewers cite accurate payroll tax reporting and reliable tax filing as a consistent strength, which is the primary reason small businesses adopt a managed payroll provider over manual processes.
Earned Wage Access and electronic employment verification ship in the base Payroll tier, giving SMBs employee-benefit features that competitors charge extra for.
Integration marketplace with native and third-party connectors for accounting, time tracking, and benefits/retirement carriers reduces manual reconciliation across an SMB stack.
No long-term contracts and unlimited support and software updates included with every plan, lowering switching risk for small businesses evaluating against ADP, Paychex, or Gusto.
Customer support quality is the single most common complaint — slow response times, frequent staff turnover at Asure, and an inability to reach a knowledgeable human are cited across G2, Capterra, and Software Advice reviews.
Interface complexity — reviewers describe the UI as not user-friendly and harder to navigate than newer SMB payroll tools like Gusto or Rippling.
HR services are limited — Software Advice reviewers note Asure does not provide a dedicated HR person and communication is mainly via email, falling short for SMBs that expected outsourced HR advisory.
Bugs and ongoing issues lead to slow resolutions and recurring communication frustration during payroll cycles where speed matters most.
Pricing is opaque — no tier pricing is published, forcing every prospect through a custom quote process that complicates side-by-side evaluation.

What gets migrated
Asure object support
Object-by-object support for Asure migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Employees
Fully supportedEmployee records carry standard properties: name, hire date, termination date, department, job title, compensation rate, employment status. The schema is stable across tiers. We perform a field-level audit to confirm custom properties are surfaced before mapping to the destination.
Payroll Registers
Fully supportedHistorical payroll runs export as register files covering earnings, deductions, taxes, and net pay per pay period. We pull all available register history, typically limited by the platform's retention window, which varies by tier. We map pay frequencies (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly) explicitly to avoid default mismatches in the destination.
Time & Attendance Entries
Mapping requiredClock-in/clock-out logs, accrual consumption, and exception flags are structured differently across Asure tiers. We normalize shift codes, overtime rules, and time-off request statuses into a standard schema before loading into systems like UKG, Paylocity, or Rippling.
Benefits Enrollments
Mapping requiredHealth, dental, vision, and voluntary benefit elections are tied to plan years. Effective dates and dependent information require careful sequencing to avoid mid-year election conflicts in the destination. We extract election records alongside employee data and cross-reference with carriers where applicable.
PTO/Accrual Balances
Mapping requiredPTO balances are stored as accrual ledgers per employee. The accrual method (front-loaded, accrual-per-hours-worked, anniversary-based) must be preserved at migration so the destination applies the correct carryover and reset rules.
Tax Configurations
Mapping requiredFederal, state, and local tax withholding setups include jurisdiction-specific codes and rates that differ by plan tier. We extract the tax profile per employee and validate against the destination's supported jurisdictions before applying.
HR Documents
Mapping requiredW-4 forms, I-9s, offer letters, and performance records may be stored in Asure's document repository. We extract attached files and link them back to the corresponding employee record in the destination. Document retention metadata is preserved where exposed by the export.
Employee Self-Service Portal Data
Mapping requiredThe portal stores address changes, direct deposit preferences, and emergency contact updates made by employees. These pending or recent self-service changes must be reviewed and flushed before migration to prevent stale data overwriting confirmed records in the destination.
