Paychex uses unfair and deceptive practices in order to upsell unsuspecting business owners. They told us we legally had to use their 401k plan. All of our employees opted out. Paychex kept charging us fees and refused to allow us to close the account. We've called Paychex HR, Paychex 401k, emailed our account representative, and even emailed the ****** review team and we get no where. In June we notified we were closing the business and needed to close the account. Paychex slow walked the cancellation to drag out months of ... read more

Paychex does not have customer service for employees. Any employee technical issue (and I've experienced one every single time I've tried to simply log in to Paychex) is deferred to the employer. The entire purpose of a third party payroll company is to increase the efficiency of payroll. All Paychex does is give employers the added responsibility of working tech support for them.

I’ve been a Paychex payroll customer for over 7 years, and while the service has always been hit or miss, this latest experience was the final straw! Earlier this year, I received a call from a Paychex employee named Jorge Alberto M**** who informed me that due to a new California law, I needed to offer my employees a 401(k) plan. I was hesitant — I knew my employees weren’t interested, and the pricing seemed high. I specifically asked: Can we cancel the plan later without any penalty or fee if my employees opt out? He clear... read more

Paychex is the worst company. The reps. are horrible the efficiency is horrible. nobody knows anything correct. They have the ability to go in and out your account to collect payroll, that is to be expected. You receive no notification when payroll is rejected from someone's account. They go into your main account and collect funds a few times from the company. When you call to get answers the rep says on on a line and you have to email the information you are requesting and wait for someone to respond. Meanwhile you are lef... read more

Been using Paychex for a few years now for my clients' payroll accounts. The past two years, they have shown no interest in supporting my clients when issues arise on their end. Examples: state taxes are not getting paid on time-monthly notices are issued from the state with interest and penalties now due, vacation hours are not getting accrued and tracked properly, when you email a support request, no one gets back to you unless you constantly call in and email, and maybe two weeks later someone will respond, they continuou... read more

Worst payroll company. You can not cancel with them. They are like a GYM membership. They did not pay my state taxes on top of it, and now I owe the state over $7000. They took $3k for an ERTC credit, and it has been over three years, and nothing has happened. On top of it, they sue me for unpaid membership, and their lawyer keeps harassing me.

I have been using Paychex for payroll services since 2009. Through the years, I had great customer service. However, recently the customer service has completely dropped off. I have an open issue now for more than one month. I've called and e-mailed at least 5 people, including managers and I have no indication that anything is being done. In the e-mail signatures, there is a supervisor that gives his/her information for feedback. I've e-mailed the supervisor, and the supervisor's manager and have received nothing back from ... read more
