This has to be the worst payroll… This has to be the worst payroll company in existence. Not only do they explain nothing when you set things up, they provide terrible customer service and guidance. They also did my taxes wrong and a received a bill from the IRS due to their incompetence. Do not recommend.

We were backed into a corner to find a… We were backed into a corner to find a payroll co. after Covid and have completely regretted ever since. The customer service cue is priority and not your Co. payroll issues. Multiple background software problems leaving employees with incorrecr, or just plain without payroll, and in turn, gaslight you regarding it, with of course a fee to fix things. Sadly requires far more management than doing it yourself. Turnover appears high, and assigned account specialist is not available any longer, but, trust us, there is zero shortage of sales people calling for add on services. Listen to your accountant and choose other platforms.

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 flex is a horrible system Paychex flex is a horrible system. It is tied directly to the company and if you use it for 401K you will no longer have access to your money once you leave the company. Attempting to reach them is difficult. You can plan to be on the phone for 1-2 hours as they hang up on you, transfer you, or just have no idea how to help. Once you leave a company, your access is terminated immediately. They will repeatedly ask for your login information and then say you have no account making it even more difficult to access your money. It has been a month and I am still attempting to get my 401K rolled over with no hope in sight.

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.
