Search elsewhere first I would be wary of choosing this company for your payroll. Emails are not responded to, payroll specialists change frequently. They won't read emails fully and will make changes that you didn't ask for/weren't ready for. When you have a good specialist who isn't out of the office often, it's fine. But if you happen to do something on a day they're out, it's absolute CHAOS.

They will take all of your money and bankrupt your business. If you’re a small or a micro business, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I signed up at the recommendation of another business owner. Once they had me set up, the charges began. $9 here, $30 there, $120 here, $240 there, over and over, about ten times a month. I asked about these charges and was never given a clear explanation regarding what the charges were for. Once they have access to your bank account to do automatic deductions, they will take all of the money that you make until you’re wondering why you’re even in business at all since all of your profits are going to these ridiculous charges as well as multiple overdraft/returned item fees. Call to complain about this and you’ll either get passed from department to department or just straight hung up on. You’ll never get an explanation what any of these charges are for. Close your account with them and sever your relationship with them and the charges will STILL continue until you eventually have to close your bank account to get them to stop. DO NOT USE Paychex or you’ll end up working to pay them and your bank due to all of the overdraft/returned item fees that they cause instead of keeping any of the money that you earn for yourself.

Paychex files your State and Federal… Paychex files your State and Federal taxes intermittently and next time you knowing, you have already incurred penalties and interests in thousands. When you call Sales Rep and Supervisors, it goes to voicemail ALL the time. Paychex is not reliable AT ALL , to me it's an induced HEART ATTACK and heart aches every month. I'm still dealing with the 4th quarter 2021 that is not filed with IRS ( can you imagine the interest and penalties). We have changed EIN effective November 2021. The 2021, 2022 up to 3rd quarter of 2023, it was never changed....as simple as that. State calls every month re: delinquent taxes and taxes were pulled out of our account --on some. We lost track of too many delinquent taxes that we have to deal with. NO amount of money can exchange the stress we are going through.

The worst payroll company ever The worst payroll company ever. They made my life harder instead of easier and overcharged me every chance they got. I had to keep calling and telling them that not the rate I was quoted. Then they blow up your email with all their side hustles. It’s a constant headache. Worst business decision anyone could make. Apparently I’m not the only dissatisfied client.

As a former employee As a former employee, and someone who worked for a company that used Paychex at one time, I can explain why the service is so bad. I was a computer operator, which means I ran payroll and all related paperwork, ran the printers, folding machines, stuffed envelopes, printed quarterly tax documents which took all weekend, and ran special reports. It was a very fast paced environment. Operators also had to help the ladies who manually stuffed envelopes. Our equipment was very old and very overworked. We had breakdowns almost daily, which would back up printing and cause more delays. Upper management refused to give us new equipment. Starting pay was $11/hr during the financial crisis. Even my manager said the company doesn't pay close to what it should. I quit after 6 months. I've seen my exact same job again 7 and 10 years later. It went from $11 to $14 to $17. That's an insult. Underpaid, management flat out didn't care, old worn out equipment they refused to upgrade, all because corporate wanted more profit. How else is the CEO going to get his huge bonus and pay off his third house? My manager admitted he had a high turnover for all these reasons. Our internet time was heavily monitored. I understand we are not there to play around, but we are human and need a break sometimes. Instead we were expected to research the company, products, history, milestones, and where they are going. I made $11/hr, I don't care, I'm here to get paid. So these are some of the reasons you get bad service. Look at what they pay and how employees are treated. Would you put in full effort for low pay? Even to this day, the company pays below market rates. I'm very happy I don't work here anymore. Low pay, management only cares about money, not employees or customers.
