SurePayroll

“Basic Software if that is what is needed

Pros

It does the basics just fine. It'll get the job done, but don't expect much beyond that.

Cons

It barely functions beyond the basics. The customer service is awful too, offering no real help or support when you need it most.

“Very Poor Customer Service, Lots of Mistakes

Pros

After we finally got Surepay set up, it worked pretty well. It handled our payroll smoothly and offered various ways to file. As long as there aren't any issues, the company does a fairly decent job.

Cons

When they set up our employees, they messed up with one employee in another state. They filed the unemployment insurance with the wrong state agency, even though they got the other taxes right. We never got an explanation for why this happened. We ended up having to fight that battle ourselves. The customer service rep tried to persuade us to extend our contract until the end of the year, misleading us by saying that we wouldn't be able to get our year-end reports done otherwise. But in payroll, everything is handled quarterly, and we're fully capable of filling out our own W2s using the IRS form that's publicly available. They hung up on us twice when we refused to extend the service. It was clear they didn't want us to cancel. I spent a frustrating two hours on the phone trying to cancel, getting transferred between different departments, dropped into the receptionist's office, and finally had to threaten legal action just to get the cancellation done. Their employees are incredibly rude and impatient, they don't listen to your concerns, constantly talk over you, interrupt, and if you ask them to actually listen to your issue, they'll just drop your call. The culture there seems toxic.

“RUN RUN RUN - THEY COLLECTED TAXES AND THE IRS CAN'T FIND THEM

Pros

Absolutely nothing. I've called their customer service more than six times this week, and they've been completely unhelpful.

Cons

I used SurePayroll throughout 2022, and now, I've recently heard from the IRS that SurePayroll hasn't submitted the tax payments I made. I'm now in a situation where I'm chasing after SurePayroll, practically begging them to help me locate the missing money. It's an incredibly frustrating experience, as I'm left in the dark with no clear answers.
