We use SurePayroll to process payroll for 12 different companies.
  • Good and easy to navigate website
  • Little to no problems using the website over the past 6 years
  • Customer service
  • Hours of hold, in my experience
  • Being rerouted 5-10 times for every inquiry, in my experience
I've used SurePayroll for over 6 years. System is good, overall through the many years I've had little to no complications with the actual website. I'll admit they have a great program that leaves you with little to no complaints. However if something does go wrong and you need help, you'll wish you never did business with these people because the customer service department is useless, in my opinion. Hours and hou you'll get rerouted 5-10 times and most of the times (9/10 times) at some point during your hold you'll get someone that would rather drop your call then deal with resolving your problem, in my opinion. When I say hours I mean minimum 3 hours to get anything done. I believe It's a endless holds and frustration. Most problems never do get resolved, in my opinion, I just either figure it out myself or give up on them all together. In my experience, when I finally gave up and canceled my services with them they were happy to charge me a fee in order for me to continue accessing all previous reports and files however gave no guidance as to how I can do so since they terminated my log in. In my experience, Now 4 hours of hold later I'm waiting for someone to pick up and give me new log in credentials to obtain previous employees W2. In my experience, 4 hours later , 2 people hung up on me, still no solution in sight. In my view, you would think a unique and complicated problem is at hand. Again, great website but long wait times on the phone makes it not worth it at all, in my opinion. I believe it would be better to go with a smalltime company that you can easily reach when you have a problem. In my opinion, a company that cares about their customers enough not to put them through such frustrating holds and incompetent representatives. Im sure they have plenty of smart and capable people that have gotten them this far but unfortunately, in my experience, I've never been lucky enough over the past 6 years to speak to one.

  • In my opinion, it's had such a negative impact because of the hours of hold and lack of resolutions that its taken too much of my time to use and I can no longer waste hours of my day to resolve the simplest problems.

We used it for payroll only.
  • Take money from you.
  • Deposit money for you.
  • Support.
  • Technology.
Terrible. Support hold times are 90+ minutes and I have had to talk to about 7 different people to try and get things done. We had a complete mess with transitioning people from one company to another and they took months to sort it out. My overall experience has been very bad and the bounce from person to person within their team AND THEIR LACK OF INTERNAL COMMUNICATION is alarming. I would switch but I cannot chance them screwing up again and creating tax issues for my employees. Absolutely TERRIBLE experience every time I try and deal with them.

This company processes payroll for the business listed and I use Square for another so I can keep some separation and confusion to a minimum when processing payroll. In my opinion, the issue is that one of SurePayroll's tax specialists contacted the EDD directly and moved payments that were directed for my other company and moved them to be used for JC Blu Inc. This of course started the snowball effect of failure to pay notices along with assessments from the EDD for the company Sure Payroll does not represent. By the way, I found out all this information by calling the EDD myself because of a lack of response. Calls to SurePayroll to address this fraud have led to no solution and even the manager who was supposed to call has not after me leaving 6 plus messages. I believe you should stay away from using this company.
  • Nothing
  • Follow up
I believe SurePayroll fraudulently transferred money for payroll taxes from a corporate account they are not associated with. In my opinion they moved this money without authorization into a business that uses their service, causing many assessments from the EDD for the other business that does not.

I hired a nanny for our two-child nanny share. SurePayroll was the service we chose to use to pay our nanny. Two families set up accounts on SurePayroll, as we each paid half of her salary. SurePayroll cut the checks, produced payroll reports, and filed necessary tax documents.
  • Doesn't do anything particularly well
  • Setting up schedules is counterintuitive
  • Reports are not customizable
  • Fraudulent business practices
SurePayroll conducts fraudulent business practices. The service itself is mediocre. UI is counterintuitive, scheduling paychecks is arduous, payroll reports are not super customizable and hard to find/run, and tax info is somewhat hidden. But it does cut checks and handle tax filings. The fraud part comes in when you want to cancel your service. I tried using the website, emailing, and calling. Each time I was pointed to a different mechanism for canceling, none of which worked. Finally, after reconfiguring my pay schedule (which I didn't need since I was canceling), I was able to unlock the part of the website that allowed me to cancel. Even then, I had to click through about 10 screens, including two that made it look like they'd canceled my service when they had not as well as a screen that froze for over a minute. In addition, I no longer needed their service halfway through the year, but if I wanted them to file tax documents for the year I needed to keep paying them (for literally doing nothing) for the rest of the year. Do not recommend it.

We are a user of Payroll for over 4 years. This is the 1st time have I really needed support and the service is horrible I have had a case since April 1, 2022, and today May 6, 2022, 25 BUSINESS DAYS, and they are unable to locate where the funds are. The waiting time for a representative is being from 1 hour up to 3 hours. The "Award Winning Customers Service Team" is only good at giving apologies.
  • giving excuses
  • make you wait for extended periods of time on hold
  • making you feel frustrated because nobody can resolve your issue
  • Customer service
  • should assign a case to a specific representative and not everybody does everything
  • should have a feature to speak to specific customer service rep
Is a cheap option to do payroll for a small company...but beware when you have a problem customer service is deficient. Representatives are not trained, have no knowledge...
  • get the employees paid
