If you are looking for a sophisticated payroll system, then the
Vantage Payroll program is not it. We use it because we have under
50 employees and it does ok. It handles simple computations but if
you need complicated ones, then I would recommend you either stay
with what you have or look for other software outside this program.
We have hourly payroll that we pay weekly and my last accounting
software had alot of limitations but it was able to handle month end
accruals (e.g., those who work the last week of the month but were
paid the following Friday, the software automatically booked the
journal entries). This software does not, so I have to remember to
do that. At least Vantage does provide us with reversing journal
entries so I don't have to remember to undo this month what I posted
last month.

then large where in-house again makes sense by dedicating a person to
payroll. Actual break point would vary by complexity and payroll
frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, etc...).

Now "the boss" wants to stop paying ADP while maintaining the labor
savings. I am not convinced we can have the cake and eat it too but
he still wants to investigate the possibilities. Starting with
seeing what other people are doing.
