**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Beth K. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2021

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

Nothing anymore.  Used to be good not it's just terrible.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

No one ever answers the phone or responds in chat.  A fraudulent payroll check for $1875.75 came through my bank account.  My bank said it probably originated in my payroll service and to talk to them.

Twice I called and waited for over an hour.  No response.   Next time I left a call back number.  At 5:10 pm on  Friday I received a call back from SurePayroll telling me to wait for the next available person.   That person came on the line at 6:40 pm, 1 1/2 hour wait .  She was very snippy.  After I explained the situation, she told me that SurePayroll does not create paychecks.  I told her that they create a PDF file from my payroll input, and that I print the file out on bank stock checks.  She said I was wrong and hung up!!

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

How can anything be solved if I am not allowed to speak to anyone.

  ### 11. Payroll is easy but not easy to reach a real person after you become a customer

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2022

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

Processing payroll is pretty simple, once you figure out the ins and outs of the website

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

If I have a question, or need to send a document that relates to a change in tax deductions or something like that....You are either on endless hold, or you upload the document, and never know who gets it, or when/if they are going to input the info.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

Try to have a contact person, once you sign up.  Our sales person was wonderful throughout the sign-up process, but after that you are kind of left hanging with no specific contact person.

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Someone else figures out the deductions and pays the taxes/files the reports for me--that is awesome!

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Running bi-monthly payroll.  We were using another payroll processing provider and their system was difficult to navigate. SurePayroll has made processing payroll very easy.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Kaci Brooks is absolutely wonderful. She was able to walk us through our transaction with ease even when the server went down she stuck it out and helped complete the task.

  ### 18. We use it at our dental office

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2017

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

Normally it is pretty quick to do payroll, by entering the employees' information and submitting it online.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

They have "extra" security measures, which I suppose many would see as a good thing, but if you are in a hurry, it is sort of a pain to always have to get a secure access phone on a cell phone before proceeding, and also it often "times out" if we take too long between entries while doing payroll or other tasks. And they require you to change your password much more often than we would prefer, because it is hard to keep track of all the changes we have to go through for that.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

It does make it pretty easy to do payroll when everything is working well.Occasionally the site is slow or having troubles, so it's advisable to allow plenty of time ahead of your deadline to get your payroll completed.

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can also easily access our past payroll information on the website.

  ### 19. Excellent Service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jacqueline S. | President and CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2020

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

Firstly, SurePayroll's customer service is next to none! They are extremely knowledgeable and polite on the phone, and very responsive via email. Additionally, the service itself is stellar. Running payroll is a piece of cake,and the reports are incredibly user friendly and indispensable! Not to mention that they accurately handled all the state and local taxes, insurance, and withholdings. I honestly would have been a mess without them.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

There is nothing to dislike! Great service!

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a new business owner, I had no idea how to report employees to the state, how to manage payroll taxes, or where to get insurance. They took care of everything.

**Official Response from Kevin Aubrey:**

> Jacqueline, congratulations on your new business and thank you for your kind review. We'll share your comments with our Customer Care team to make sure they know they are making a difference for you.

You can set up auto payroll, which allows you to have it automatically approved and submitted. It has many reports you can print out for employees.   Functionality is excellent.

It can be pricey. I don't feel anything is missing from this software, and we never had any issues with it. It would be nice if it chat function for support. Other than that we like it.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

If you are looking for HR help and would like it to be automatically set up this software is extremely helpful.

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have not encountered any problems with this software. We are absolutely benefiting financially from it because it allows you to hire less for HR department. With less over head you gain more profit.

**Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2022

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

Hard to think of anything honeslty, this was a terrible product experience.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Terrible support, terrible product, makes you call to cancel!

They always have 45 minute wait on phone support that is "unusually high call volume"... BS

They're support reps are completely unresponsive. 

I finally left and they force me to call them to cancel, unbelievably bad. 


I've used 100s of products, this is the WORST.

I leave with only headaches

  ### 24. Terrible company - Homepay was a dream by comparison

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** RowYa B. | Resident Physician - Psychiatry, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2022

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

Nothing - they are terrible. They have no redeeming qualities.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

They do not answer their customer service. They lock you out of your account. When you terminate services, they do not automatically generate a W2. Their user interface is clunky and incredibly difficult to navigate. I can't even get into my account right now to get my accountant to generate a W2. They have no chat option and lie on their phone tree. Horrible company. Homepay was worth the higher cost.

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Solving spending tons of time hand writing checks and delivering them to employees. It is an easy solution and works good. In the end it saves tons of time when you can focus on other things

**Reviewed by:** Alysson B. | Controller, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

I used this company for my small business.  The pricing is comfortable and appropriate, especially for small businesses just starting out, but it also has all the needed features.  And we felt secure about this product as it is owned and backed by Paychex.  It's also not difficult to get in touch with them for support.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

The only issues we had were trying to get reports after our business closed and you lose access to reports- took some time to request/receive but they were accomodating.

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sure Payroll was an affordable and comprehensive payroll solution with a user-friendly interface.  I had used a large company at my previous job but was impressed with the functionality of this product.

Everything... Unorganized... Bad customer service.

  ### 34. Terrible Customer Service; Don't Own Their Mistakes

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2021

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

SurePayroll is the cheapest option (although at $50/mth still not cheap, especially if you're setting it up for just a part time nanny).
The auto-pay feature is very useful so you don't have to go in and run it every week. 
Initial set up was great, except for below issue

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

They didn't submit an end of quarter report for the 4 days I was signed up with them but not employing anyone in that quarter. I got a bill of $3.5k from the tax department.
Three emails and an hour of waiting on phone lines, the Vermont Dept of Taxes eventually sorted it out for me. It was a 2 minute job. I owed $0.
When I requested that they credit my account with $50 in lieu of the late submission fee the Tax Dept charged me, I was told that it wasn't their fault and to please contact them using the 'Contact Us' tab next time rather than the 'help' email.

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Paying an in home nanny

**Official Response from Kevin Aubrey:**

> Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that your experience with SurePayroll didn’t meet your expectations and we would love the opportunity to make things right. Please reach out to feedback@surepayroll.com with additional details and we can work with our service department to correct the issue.

  ### 38. Surepayroll, biggest scam company for payroll

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kimberly D. | EVP

**Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2021

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

nothing, theyre a bunch of frauds and never paid the taxes they were supposed to, now Im going to be stuck w the penalties and interest.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

everything. They disappeared for 3 months after my dispute on their failure to pay the taxes for my business. I just got an email today titled "urgent" and asking me to e-sign when I already did it 3 months ago. They're now denying responsibility for my fees and penalties when the phone rep already admitted fault

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zero, they are scammers

  ### 39. Easy to Use Payroll System

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jean V. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2020

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

We still pay our employees by check. One of the best parts of SurePayroll is the ability to use check blanks and put them in the printer. The SurePayroll software prints all of the check information on them, and all of the paystub info on the same perforated sheet. SurePayroll also takes care of what would be for me a nearly impossible task - paying all of the taxes and fees directly to the various state and federal agencies. It's very easy to use, and computes state mandated sick time as well as accrued vacation time for my employees.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Occasionally, it takes awhile for my payroll to get approved, although that has been happening a lot less lately. Since we pay by check, directly at the end of our pay period, I can't opt for a same day check. In order to avoid an expedited check fee, I have to choose a future date for my checks. Then, I have to go to a .pdf editor online to change the check dates so they are valid on the day of issue. It's a small problem, but one I think that could be fixed for employers who pay strictly by check. I also find that I have extremely high payments to the Employment Security Department, and I have to apply for refunds every so often. I believe it's because we have many part time employees. I wish there was a way to fix it, as the ESD is very slow at processing refunds. A timecard app would be the icing on the cake. I have to use a separate timecard app and transfer the information over to SurePayroll manually.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

If you want to use a payroll service with great customer service, easy to use interface and pay your employees by check to avoid additional fees, this is your company!

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was using a different payroll software prior to SurePayroll, and had to hand write my checks. The biggest benefit of SurePayroll is the ability to print the checks for my employees. When I considered changing again in order to have the timecards feature, I discovered that the other company didn't print checks on blank check paper. That was a game changer for me. When I had a problem with one of the state agencies, SurePayroll stepped in to solve it for me.  That allowed me time to concentrate on my business, and not administrative gobbledygook.

**Official Response from Kevin Aubrey:**

> Jean, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review.  We're so glad to hear that SurePayroll has been a game changer for you!  I am following up with our product team for the best way to handle your timecard question and will get back to you with more details.

  ### 41. Perfect for small business owners!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angela M F. | Licensed REALTOR, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2020

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

It was easy to set up my account and create my payroll.  I can easily pay myself and add employees when I am ready to hire.   I can adjust the dates for the check and the amounts and pay an extra check as needed.  You can label pay as holiday, vacation, etc.  It has easy to understand explanations and multiple links to integrate to accounting software.  I can sign in to check on my statistics and they send in the quarterly taxes for me.  They send me reminders so I stay on track for approving my payroll before it is sent and there is an option to approve payroll early.  One of the best features that makes the tax filing easier is that I can integrate with my accountant!  Oh, and the price...  unbeatable!

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

I am not sure how to change the preset amount I created for my payroll amounts.  I would like a clearer explanation on how to do that.  The dates covered by the check could be a little more emphasized.  When I am short on time, I don't always notice the dates at the top.

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I don't have to keep track manually and this integrates into QuickBooks.  This relieves so much stress and makes my accountant's job more efficient.  I am happy that I was able to "invite" my accountant so it is easier at tax time.  I stay very busy so this saves the time I used to have to dedicate to gathering my financial records regarding my business.

**Official Response from Kevin Aubrey:**

> Angela,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and thorough review. We are so happy to hear that SurePayroll was easy to setup, eliminates some stress, and is designed to grow as you grow. Thank you for your business!

  ### 43. WHAT A DISASTER

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2021

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

It was easy to pay the nanny and withhold taxes. In the end, opening and closing the account was such a disaster it was NOT worth it. Still dealing with Tax issues 18 months later.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

After luring me in with how easy it would be, the sales guy became the “not my department”, and actually finishing getting it set up required hours and days of online, calls, and a trip to a government office to unscramble things. Even worse, when I closed the account, I selected option to have them continue to provide tax-related filings including quarterly and year end reports, and W2, but they didn’t. That was 12-18 months ago and I have just received a letter from the social security administration saying they never received the w2. I am now having poor response from customer service in attempting to resolve the issue. It has been 20 times more hassle in setup and closure than it was worth.

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Still no solution.

**Official Response from Kevin Aubrey:**

> Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that your experience with SurePayroll didn’t meet your expectations and we would love the opportunity to make things right. Please reach out to feedback@surepayroll.com with additional details and we can work with our service department to correct the issue.

**Reviewed by:** Caroline  O. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about SurePayroll?**

I love the user-friendly portal.  It's ridiculously easy to process payroll.  Reports are simple to retrieve.
It's easy to add employees.  Customer service has been great every time I called.  My sales person was very thorough.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

I cannot think of anything that is least helpful.  There are no downsides for me.  If I had to mention something it would be having to wait on hold briefly because my 401k did not integrate properly.  They fixed the issue quickly.   That's all I can think of.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

I used all the online payroll products in my career and never have had an easier product to use.  The setup is really the easiest.  I was ready to process payroll in a matter of minutes.  If you are looking for a hassle free, user friendly software it's definitely Sure Payroll

**What problems is SurePayroll solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I don't have to file my own taxes.  That's a savings in itself.
