That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 39 of the 40 other payroll services grade higher. - You could make: Reports, time off and employee records: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
