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.

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.

Not great but not horrible Began using this week about 3 weeks ago. The company I recently get hired for uses Paychex as their 3rd party one-stop-shop. Time cards / payrolls / sick / vacation hours / tax tops / and even External tools like FinFit. As my experience has neither been horrible or great I’m neutral at this point because this app was only pushed upon me by my employers to get all Employees on one platform. Hopefully this app gets some kind of universal integration with a majority of the banks. Such as Zelle to better see where it can serve a purpose in banking / finance

First week in Paychex for our new… First week in Paychex for our new business. Bank recommended Paychexso our thought was, must be reliable. First week in. Overcharged five times. Should have done a review of the reviews. Ive never seen such poor reviews. We are pulling our business to a payroll service company with a better reputation. Seems to be one step up from a scam. Update Apri 8th. Sent complaint to Paychex with full info as they mention after every “truthful” review. Guess what? Absolutely NO RESPONSE.

Garbage company Garbage company. Can't get a hold of your rep. they continuously mess up and do not issue checks when suppose to causing my employees to get upset. they constantly switch out your rep every month or so, clearly they cannot retain employees which is a big part of the problem Im sure. Stay away from paychecks go elsewhere.
