Testimonials
“We feel like having the PEO partnership has helped us provide our employees with an experience that they probably won't get at other similar types of employers. That has been very helpful for retention and it's been a very positive and beneficial feature for everybody."
“Being able to promote the jobs that we have with the different platforms that Paychex has, to get our jobs out there and recruit more people, they’ve made the onboarding process a lot easier for us to hire as quickly as possible.”
“I did not have a clue as to what (ERTC) was, and I was a little skeptical of it because I thought I was on top of everything …. The impact it will have on my business will be huge and my plans for it are to continue to grow my business ….
“[We are able to] showcase to potential employees that we are different because we were able to partner with Paychex to offer all these benefits — in some cases, even better than Fortune 500 companies. That allows us to attract really brilliant talent to join us on this journey.
“With Paychex PEO there is just a huge increase of knowledge (on our part) about best practices for running a business, especially in California where there’s also a lot of compliance and labor laws that seem to change all the time.”
“Once you start making sure the profitability is there, then you can focus on [the fact] that it’s not always about the bottom line. It’s about doing the best we can for … employees and customers.”
"The daily time that I don’t spend on (payroll) … it really changes my daily routine. It allows me to make phone calls, answer emails, talk with general contractors and talk with my franchise (personnel). Having the ability to do that streamlines both processes."
“I think we’ve got a great price and a great product .... I’m hesitant [when local companies approach me to switch providers]. I mean, [my rep] Sheri is local. Even though Paychex is a national company, I don’t feel like we’re just a number.
“When I got my first invoice I was amazed because the invoice was about half as much as we were paying … that savings goes toward salaries or technology or supplies for the kids. It’s hard to imagine switching when we get a great price and a great product.”
“The tastes and preferences … of our employees is a moving goalpost. As we bring on new talent, Paychex is doing a comprehensive review of our benefits plans and is also working with us to create new benefits that we don’t even offer today … to ensure we really are an employer of choice.”
