Overall Satisfaction with SurePayroll

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
  • Cuts checks
  • Files tax documents
  • Cost several hundred dollars in fraudulent charges

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.
