Controller Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/31/2025 "Regret Switching to Paychex: Poor Support, High Turnover, and Costly Mistakes" 0/5 What do you like best about Paychex? Smooth talking sales people. Don't be fooled to switch over - they don't live up to the hype. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Paychex? We moved our Co payroll from ADP to Paychex 3rd Qtr 2024. Paychex has FAILED to file quarterly reports and now the EDD is sending a Notice of Intent to Lien. We have been assessed thousands of dollars in penalties because of this. Last year upon receiving my first Notice, I worked with Paychex rep who said she would take care of it...long story short, I went through 6 reps (none of whom still work at Paychex - emails keep bouncing back) and signed 5 power of attorneys and it still isn't corrected. Yesterday the Tax Dept (PAC) opened a case and closed it saying it was taken care of - ummmm not true. The Tax Dept conveniently doesn't have a phone number to call. They refer me to my Account Specialist who doesn't even have viewing access to info on my "tax case/resolution". I forwarded the tax dept emails and they bounced back. Lack of follow up due to high turnover within the company and/or lack of caring, is costing me time, money and my sanity. Seriously - do not sign up for Paychex - consider ADP - I was lured over and now regret it. Emails bounce back - no phone numbers for key personnel and oh, one more thing - their main number goes to an offshore call center who also pass you around like a beach ball. BEWARE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Paychex solving and how is that benefiting you? Paychex doesn't solve problems but creates them. When they say a problem is solved - it isn't. I have been dealing with them paying my payroll taxes incorrectly for 14 months now. Noone is accountable. HIGH turn over. Good luck!
