What our clients say...
“Working with Liberty Payroll and HR has been a great experience. The transition from our previous provider to Liberty was smooth and seamless. Their payroll platform is very user-friendly. We are also using the biometric timeclock that integrates with their payroll platform. Payroll for our company used to be a grueling two-hour weekly chore. Now, using the online timeclock software, it’s less than a 10-minute task. The staff is welcoming and friendly, you always get a live person when calling, and everyone is knowledgeable and can assist with any question that you may have.”
