## SurePayroll Reviews
  ### 1. Worst nightmare ever!

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2025

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

I do not recommend Sure Payroll based on my own experience. The company did not file my reemployment taxes and I had to file and pay my own reemployment taxes even though they were deducting my reemployment taxes every payroll. To this date, I still have not gotten reimbursed for the amount I personally had to pay. I received letters from the Florida Department of Revenue stating that none of my reemployment taxes were filed. Could you image a business owner paid for this service at Sure Payroll & it was not being performed. I then had to lose production time and take time away from my business to make calls back & forth with the Florida Department of Revenue to oversee this matter because no one at Sure Payroll would return my calls or offered to help. This matter has been going on since 2022 and no one has reached out to fully assist in this matter.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Representatives are not helpful. They do not call back. They place you on extreme holds. They do collect your reemployment taxes and do not send to the Florida Department of Revenue

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

They have not solved any of my issues

  ### 2. Simple Setup, But Outsourced Support Disappoints

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Barbara M.

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2025

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

I am particularly impressed with the experience I had while setting up a new account with SurePayroll. Daniel Moran was amazing and played a significant role in making the setup process very easy and smooth for me. His outstanding support left a positive impression on me, which is the reason I am leaving this review. The ease of setup facilitated by his assistance made a complex task straightforward and efficient. I also use SurePayroll primarily for its payroll capabilities, which work effectively for my needs.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

I don't like that the customer service is now outsourced to other countries, and I've had very bad experiences with that.

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

I find SurePayroll helpful with easy account setup, thanks to Daniel Moran's outstanding assistance, making my experience smooth and effortless.

  ### 3. Terrible support, advice and no accountability

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fred G. | Principal, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2025

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

Nothing. If i had to pick something it's the competitive pricing but since you have to re-run payrolls and they give you the wrong advice for payroll accounting, the amount you'll pay them and fines and fees to the IRS and your accountant, it's just not worth it.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Customer service is a complete disaster. If you call them, you'll get someone different each time with different levels of expertise and you'll be on the hook if something goes wrong with the payroll. There's just no accountability and no one to help you. Once the sale is made all your told  to do is contact support.

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

Payroll for a small business including filing the state tax forms and generating the end of year W2 forms for the IRS.

  ### 4. customer service is terrible and the pricing is dishonest

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jon B. | Freelance Software Developer and Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2025

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

It's hard to think about the upsides of SurePayroll.  I suppose it seems like their government filings are accurate.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Customer service is absolutely terrible, and pricing is dishonest. Every time that I haven't needed to speak with someone it takes forever to connect with the right person. Today, it took me 70 minutes to speak with their billing department.
Their pricing page appears to be very straightforward, and there is no mention whatsoever that the displayed pricing is promotional. However, they charge a number of their clients a much higher rate. I'm fairly certain this is illegal (to show pricing that is promotional and not state it as such) in a number of states.

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

It handles our payroll for us.

  ### 5. Worst Customer Service I've ever experienced

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2025

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

Right now I can't think of anything to mention

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

They consistently mess up our state SUW forms - leaving me with a hot mess.  Customer service is prevented from connecting me with their so called "Tax experts" - to the point where I am getting multiple threating tax notice from the state each month.  This never happened when I was doing the taxes myself.

They change tax filing frequencies willy nilly, I think to maximize their interest income, and don't help to resolve the issues they have created.

STAY AWAY from these charlatans.

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

None - they only create problems
