nothing at all i can't think of anything offhand

don't hestate.

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

  ### 2. Never had any problems with SurePayroll

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David R. | Owner, Medical Practice, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2015

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

the website is easy to navigate thru.  I can run the payroll, print the pay stub and reports with little effort.  I can also go back to check previous pay stubs and print out multiple at one time.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

pay stubs sometimes take longer to generate.  After running payroll, I have to check back in about 30 minutes before the pay stub is ready for printing.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

cheapest I could find.  I shopped around for a while before someone recommended Surepayroll.  It was much cheaper than the competitors.  I'm not sure how things were affected after Surepayroll was picked up by Paychex.  The transition seemed very smooth and unnoticed.  

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

none

  ### 3. Administrator

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael L. | Firm Administrator, Human Resources, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2015

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

Easy to use.  Very simple and easy to get things done.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

No ad hoc reports.  Wish it was more flexible.

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

None.

  ### 4. I ran payroll on a battleship.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jovim V. | Founder & Ceo, Printing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2014

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

I like the fact that I can run payroll virtually anywhere in the world with an internet connection. From a tablet, cell phone, laptop, or from an Apple Store or Best Buy. Technology is key for our company. Something as brutal and time consuming as payroll - has been taken care of their software. This allows us to scale so much faster when hiring for new talent.

I like the fact that it feels like the entire team at SurePayroll are part of my own Human Resources department.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

It's rare, but sometimes we get IRS letters and it takes awhile for Customer Service to respond with a solution.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

I was on vacation in Oahu, Hawaii. I was on a tour of Pearl Harbor. I know you're not supposed to check emails while on vacation, but as a business owner, sometimes that is nearly impossible.

I was sent an email notification from SurePayroll to run our company's payroll. I had to board the USS Arizona Battleship. This ship was enormous! I left our tour group to "go to the bathroom". I logged into my SurePayroll app on my phone and ran our company's payroll. About 3 clicks later, payroll was complete. A total of 15 seconds. My employees in Chicago were happy, I was happy, and my Pearl Harbor Tour Guide was happy I came back really fast.

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

I've tried to run my own payroll. I have tried to take into account Employer Taxes, Employee Taxes, Withholding, Deductions. It's not fun. I used to dread the end of the month when I had to pay my employees.  It took me roughly 4-5 hours to run payroll correctly, double checking and being very unsure about my payroll entries.

SurePayroll allows me to focus on building my business, rather than running the daily tasks such as Payroll.

  ### 5. I Love SurePayroll, Have Reccommended It, Must Have for Small Businesses

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jonathan S. | Owner, Retail, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 03, 2014

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

Quickness and convenience.  I can get my payroll done in about 10-15 minutes, a bonus when I have a full-time job and a small business.  I can get quick access to any report I ever need.  Everything electronic is awesome, and managing employee information is a snap.  Not to mention that they competently take care of all tax issues.  

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Honestly, very little, except maybe the cost (and you do generally see a small increase every year).  I think you do have to have more than 1-2 employees for it to be worth it.  I wish I had more leeway with deadlines, but that's understandable why.  

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

I have recommended to other small business owners and I would again do it in a heartbeat.  I would highly, highly recommend it to anyone dealing with payroll, especially over, say, 3-4 employees.  

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

I'm solving having to worry about the payroll tax part of payroll and paying my employees (direct deposit).  I always know that part is being done accurately, if I get a notice of something amiss from a tax agency (I get that periodically), I can just forward it to their tax department and know it will be handled.  And I SAVE TIME!!!!!!  That's the biggest benefit.

  ### 18. Overall good experience, but could be better

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul N. | Owner and Professional Carnivore, Farming, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2014

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

Thorough service takes care of everything, so that I don't have to worry about anything, except entering hours for employees. 

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Software interface is not the most intuitive or easy to use.  The information is all there, on the website, but sometimes is difficult to find.  Also, had an issue when I gave an employee a raise, and there was not an easy way to adjust his hourly pay rate, so I had to call, and fix this.  Additionally, this year Surepayroll missed filing quarterly reports, and I received a notice of back taxes due from my state's dept of revenue--not exactly an enjoyable experience.  However, to their credit, they did take care of it right away. Lastly, the cost is higher than Zenpayroll.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

Seriously consider Zenpayroll as well.  You may find that Zenpayroll meets your needs for much less money.  I am looking into it.  

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

Helped me stay on top of payroll taxes and filing all the forms, etc.  

  ### 19. Surepayroll makes it easy

**Reviewed by:** Kathleen M. | Clinical Director of Orthodontics, Hospital & Health Care, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2015

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

With Surepayroll, my payroll time is maybe 15 minutes every other week...easy. I have quick and easy access to year-to-date and year-end reports for business tracking. I also love that they have business links to make sure I'm always up-to-date with federal and state employment postings.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

I wish their was a way to process payroll, then view or edit other employee information, however the system locks changes until that payroll submission completes which is usually an hour or so.

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

I never have to worry that the proper taxes were calculated because Surepayroll does it automatically.

**Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2014

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

I love the ability to do my payroll remotely and still get personal help from a payroll specialist.  I have been able to go on vacation and not worry that someone else will mess things up for me.  I go on line, click, click and payroll is done and I'm ready to relax again!

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

I would like more options in tracking Vacation hours.  We use a different system and I have not been able to adapt it to SurePayroll's system.  I would also like to see hours on the Payroll reports without having to look at the expansion.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

We have a small business and it meets all our needs with ease and accuracy.  Any tax problems we have had are dealt with by Surepayroll and I have had to do nothing.  This has made my life much easier!

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

software is okay and they have a few nice reps (but the others could care less

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

They could not do anything right and then many of their reps could care less. They filled out the tax forms wrong and then it took a long time to get them to send in a correction, I had to constantly follow up on all issues with them since they were not doing what they said they would. Then they continued to charge me for months after I cancelled my account and they said there would be no further fees. I had to call 3 times to see where the refund was and there was always an excuse. STAY AWAY from them

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

STAY AWAY

Payroll entry is quick and easy.  Staff is very professional and helpful.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

We've been very happy with SurePayroll.  Being an extremely small entity, it's easy to get lost and forgotten by large companies.  SurePayroll has always been extremely helpful and very timely with any assistance we've needed.  Highly recommend them.

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

We moved from doing payroll in house, with the associated headaches. Very nice not to have to worry about all the rules and regs surrounding payroll and leave it to someone else.

Try it...you'll be happy you did.

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

We have used SurePayroll for over 3 years now.  We have over 20 employees and I can run payroll in under 20 minutes.   The reports are accurate & the site is very easy to use.  Employee's love logging in and printing their stubs and W-2's at the end of the year.  The price is fair, we were paying a lot more to Paychex prior. 

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

EFT payment of garnishments would be nice

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

We are very happy with Surepayroll. We have used Paychex and Intuit prior to signing up.   Intuit was a nightmare, taxes not paid on time.  Paychex became too pricey for us and we didn't need the support level that they offered.  Surepayroll was the perfect answer for us.   We also love the fact that we can log on from anywhere and transmit payroll since it is web based. That is a definite plus. 

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

The speed that we can process payroll is a timesaver for us.   Reports & Checks can be printed onsite so we no longer wait for the mailman to deliver our payroll.   Surepayroll submits our employer taxes on our behalf so we never face late fees, they make it easy for us to pay attention to other aspects of our business.    We have had to call customer service a few times and they always address our issue or question immediately.  We recently had a change in our unemployment tax rate so I had to submit the change to them. They updated our withholdings prior to our next payroll. 

  ### 35. SurePayroll is the best!

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2014

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

It's easy to use. Seamless. Customer support is superior. I've been using SurePayroll for years and they are the best payroll company on the market. I believe in their product so much, I've actually referred several other small business owners their way - all of which are equally satisfied. If you are a small business owner, I highly recommend a valuable partner such as SurePayroll to assist you with your HR needs!

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

No complaints. I have never had an issue with SurePayroll in my 4+ years using their services.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

Investigate SurePayroll before jumping into anything else (software, competing HR sites, etc)

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

The biggest benefit is that payroll is one less thing I have to worry about. With laws, regulations, forms, etc. constantly changing, it's nice to know that SurePayroll has my back.

  ### 36. SurePayroll - Outstanding

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matt B. | Executive Search Consultant, Civil Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2014

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

The technology is SO simple to use.  It is user friendly, accurate, and it works EVERY time without fail.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

I have been using SurePayroll for four or five years now and I really cannot find anything that I dislike.  The technology, both on the laptop and on my mobile device is flawless.  The forms are easy to read, the data is easily imported into my QuickBooks, and on the rare occasion that I have a question for Customer Service they have ALWAYS been prompt and helpful...also very friendly.

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

I run a small business, and I want NOTHING to do with payroll and taxes - figuring them out, and submitting them.  SurePayroll takes away ALL of my worries along those lines so I can focus on my business.  

  ### 37. I LOVE SURE PAYROLL

**Reviewed by:** Kayla M. | Owner, Health, Wellness and Fitness, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2014

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

The site is so easy to use to run payroll. Plus if I have any questions at all I just click chat and they help me right away there is no waiting.  

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

There honestly is nothing I dislike.  If I could earn money for each person I get to sign up that would be awsome.  But I think they do run promotions from time to time were you can earn cash or a free payroll process.  So there you have it no dislikes!

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

The benefits are the price, the customer service, and there easy to use site plus mobile site so I can be on vaca and still pay my employees.   The problems that was solved with this company was filing my taxes each quarter on my employee that took alot of time and effort and there was always something I was missing.  Plus the employees can access there paystubs anytime they have there own login.

  ### 38. Surepayroll has been very easy to use.  

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2014

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

I only enter my hours for my staff, and they do everything else.  We have had a few issuea with tax payments, and one phone call is usually all it takes to get everything back in order.  

The Surepayroll staff is very helpful.  The work hard to get answers for you.  If they don't have an answer, they will get back to you in a reasonable time.  

Thanks!

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Benefits are sometimes a little difficult to get entered correctly, and they can be a challenge to correct midyear.   I have also had a few issues with the headings.  I had to enter vacation pay under a "Sick" label.  This made data entry more confusing.  When I asked the staff to correct this, I was informed they were not able to do this.  

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

I would like it to be easier to update benefits or make corrections.  Updating benefits may require resetting the payroll.   This can result in having to update every employees information.  Making corrections can add costs, especially if you do not catch them before processing a payroll.  

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

Payroll is usually quick and painless.

  ### 40. Satisfied Customer

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2014

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

SurePayroll is easy to use and at a reasonable price. Our last payroll company charged us for every little change in our system. With SurePayroll I know exactly what to expect each month with minimal variations. There are no hidden costs and I greatly appreciate them keeping things simple and thus keeping our costs down. SurePayroll provides us with all the information we need directly online and therefore saving us the costs of printing out reports and the cost to mail the reports to us. It's not only cheaper but also faster because I can go directly online and print the reports myself. Since the quarterly reports are online, I can also reprint them if they should become misplaced. 

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

I would not change a thing about SurePayroll. I'm extremely happy with the services they provide to us as a small business. 

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

Compare the features and prices of other well known payroll companies and I think you'll find, as I did, that SurePayroll beats them hands down. 

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

When switching to SurePayroll we saved money and had less paperwork to keep track of. It's great that our employees can access their pay stub and W2 information directly online. There's been more than once that an employee has needed to quickly look up their W2 information. We've been able to do this with a click of the tab without them having to go home and pull out their tax records.

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2014

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

i m am a CPA and can do the payroll on my own but find SurePayroll as a cost effective alternative for me. Payroll is a business function that receives no praise when done correctly but tons of grief if done incorrectly.  With all of the calculations and the fact that we are in a variety of states makes the payroll process even more complicated.  As an owner of a government contracting company that provides professional services, my books are open to the government and particularly the payroll systems.  I feel comfortable having the payroll process handled by SurePayroll 

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Nothing comes to mind that is significant enough to remember

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

AS you add employees, it may be worthy to assess whether there is an automated interface between your GL an Surepayroll,

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

Paying employees on a salaried basis but billing the customer on an hourly basis and making sure thee is an audit trail that gets us there

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

SurePayroll keeps it easy and simple to manage our payroll.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

Tracking personal time off for employees.  Recently had an issue with how the program calculates the Employer's IRA matching contribution.   Frustrated since no one could accurately explain how this figure is calculated at the end of the year. Created too much manual time to calculate.  


**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

Requires less time to process payroll, great support and reputable company

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

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

SurePayroll is just a joy to use.  They guide you with setup, and once you're up and running, it's a breeze.  Easy to enter in wage information and employee information.   Easy to process each payroll.  And best of off, great integration for my AccountEdge accounting software.  Plus great reporting and direct deposit.  All this for quite an affordable rate.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

The website user interface is a bit dated, with a sometimes confusing list of links.  But that's being pretty nit picky.  I have no issues with the payroll process itself.

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

Absolutely give it a try.  Easy to implement and easy to administer. And an affordable price.

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

It's great having SurePayroll process and file all my payroll taxes for me.  Saves me a lot of time; I can't image having to do it myself!

**Reviewed by:** Dennis F. Y. | President, Renewables & Environment, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2014

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

Being a small business owner, I have found SurePayroll to a great time saver for me.  It only takes a few minutes at most to do my payroll and they take care of the rest.  I used to try to do everything myself and just keeping up with all the changes was taking up so much of my time that I finally gave in and am glad I did.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

The pricing structure could be a little better in regards to a very small business like mine.


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

Not having to keep up with all the changes in payroll and filing of forms.

I have used Surepayroll for many years and would recommend it to anyone.  It is so easy, I have always had great service in the rare times that I needed anything.  I especially love that I can do my payroll from anywhere I am (even on vacation) in minutes.

**What do you dislike about SurePayroll?**

I don't like that I have to submit my information 2 full days early and they take the money out almost 24 hours before they actually pay it.    

**Recommendations to others considering SurePayroll:**

Do it

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

I really appreciate that I can get my Workers Comp insurance completely handled through them as well.
