Thank you so much for your quick responses and attention to detail. You’re great!

"Payroll Maxx is an excellent resource for anyone looking to outsource their payroll duties. As a small family owned manufacturing company, I was looking for a payroll service that was cost efficient, knowledgeable, yet flexible enough to handle any payroll issues that we may encounter. We have used Payroll Maxx for over four years and I continue to be very pleased with the first-rate service its staff provides."

"Working with Ken and Mary Kay is always delightful. The products we currently use are: Swipe- Clock, Maxx-Link and Evolution. The history that is maintained in Swipe clock is wonderful. Self Service pay-stub access is great for employees to get their payroll information both timely and securely. The processing of our Payroll using Evolution has a very quick turnaround time. These products meet the needs of our institution. Payroll Maxx provides great customer service. We have been a satisfied customer since 1999."

"When we made the change from processing payroll in-house to Payroll Maxx, they worked around our needs when setting up the payroll. It was a quick and seamless conversion. This has been a relief to me as well as a cost savings
to the credit union. I don't ever want to go back to the way it was!"

"Payroll Maxx is meeting our expectations and is very cooperative with last minute payroll requests. Representatives are always patient and responsive. Heidi was very instrumental in helping set up the first payroll and associated processes. Carolyn was terrific and a very helpful individual. Last minute requests did not seem to bother her and she was always pleasant in our interaction. Thank you Carolyn and Diane, for getting us through payroll for the various organizations."

"I am the founder and owner of a start up, boutique consulting firm. Prior to founding the business, I ran a National consulting business for a $2B conglomerate and had access to best in class back office services, primarily payroll. Today, I can say with confidence, that I receive the quality and service worthy of a $2B dollar firm and I'm merely a startup with potential. From day one, even with 1 employee on payroll, I received red carpet treatment and that treatment and service continues today and is reflected in every individual I work with at Payroll Maxx. I look forward to growing my business with what I deem as the "best payroll partners" in the industry."

"We recently replaced our existing payroll and timekeeping system with Payroll Maxx Evolution and SwipeClock software – and we’re glad we did. From beginning to end, the total experience was professionally presented and supported. The sales presentation, training, custom designing of reports we requested, migration of existing data to the new system and the ongoing support have resulted in a smooth transition to a system that is state of the art."

“I would love to share the name of a payroll company that I am now using. Payroll Maxx based in Nebraska. I was with another payroll company and was so frustrated with their lack of good customer service. And when the economy started to dive, I was looking for ways to save, without sacrificing my business needs. The other payroll company seemed steep in their monthly fees so I decided to try out Payroll Maxx.
I started with them in July (easy time to do a smooth changeover), and I couldn't be happier. Although I've never met my payroll specialist, I feel like I know her. Their rates are much better, I never wait more than half a day (most times it's within an hour) for a phone or email response and their reports are well designed and easy to read. You can easily check out the company's reputation as I did.
I HIGHLY recommend this company. I am no longer frustrated with the issues that seemed to arise with the other payroll company (constant turnover of reps, days before I'd receive a call back, high monthly fees).”

"We had used ADP for payroll processing (including workers comp) since opening our first center and were very apprehensive about changing vendors. Among other things, we were concerned about reliability, stability, and conversion. The folks at Payroll Maxx addressed all of our concerns promptly and convincingly. The conversion to Payroll Maxx was effortless and their customer service is excellent. We are saving about $2,000 per year and are totally satisfied with their solution."

"Our firm has over 250 employees in a three-state area. The Payroll Maxx staff has always been extremely easy to work with, courteous, on time with payrolls and helpful with extra reports as the need arises. They also stay on top of new payroll regulations and make the necessary changes automatically so I don't have to do it myself.
"It is very enjoyable to deal with people that you can pick up the phone and talk with directly. I would enjoy visiting with anyone who is thinking of outsourcing their payroll and letting them know why Payroll Maxx should be their payroll firm of choice. And by the way we cut our payroll preparation costs by over 40% when we made the switch to Payroll Maxx."

To whom it may concern:
We are a franchise of the IHOP Corporation located in South Texas. We have a total of 13 IHOP’s. After 6 months I was promoted into the office where I took over the payroll for an additional 4 IHOP stores. In the beginning we were using Intuit, but they were bought out by ADP. We used ADP for about a year after Intuit. We started researching other companies that could do payroll for us because we weren’t getting the level of service we were expecting from ADP. One of our supervisors found Payroll Maxx and switched a few of his stores over to them. It wasn’t long after that we switched all of our stores over to Payroll Maxx.
Payroll Maxx made the transition very smooth. You have one person who is assigned as your payroll specialist. No longer do we have to be transferred to some random customer service representative to ask questions. You just call your payroll specialist directly. They also take care of all the reporting, garnishments, and benefit deductions for you as well.
I know I can pick up the phone anytime I need to speak with John LaFever directly on any questions or concerns I may have, and I’ve done that several times. What other payroll company is there where you can pick up the phone and call one of the partners? I feel that Payroll Maxx goes above and beyond taking care of our needs. They offer a variety of ways to submit your payroll and give you access to your payroll at your own fingertips through their Evolution program. The switch to Payroll Maxx has been not only an easy one, but a smart one. I recommend Payroll Maxx for any small or large company that is looking for a payroll company in which all your needs as a company are taken into consideration and met.
We certainly love them. They make processing a payroll much easier than any other payroll company I’ve worked with.

Dear Mr. La Fever,
As we, at Carolina Family Eye Care sought to improve our outsourced payroll services a few months ago, we came across Payroll Maxx through extensive research and through well-thought out quoting process. Our goal was to find the best tailored payroll services possible, at affordable pricing.
Much to our amazement, not only did we fulfill the requirement for such suitable services with Payroll Maxx, but were granted personalized services, electronic (green) solutions, and incredible attention to detail for an accurate payroll transition. All of which was adapted to our Small Business structure that entails two individual practices, two sets of payroll all under one global umbrella with Payroll Maxx.
We are now into our third month of service and are thrilled to have found this level of expertise for its cost. Return on investment in business management practice remains an important factor that has to make sense, and we are more than happy with the present results. Additionally, our staff is delighted to have fingertip information about their pay, deductions, and banked hours for vacation and sick days, all self-served through the web. Magnificent System!
Thank you Payroll Maxx for making our life easier!
Most Cordially,

Pattie,
It is rare to find the kind of courtesy and compassion that you extended to me, the client, Wednesday, May 6th. I am very appreciative, as you worked late by honoring my request for call and assist with report generating instructions late in the afternoon.
With your help, I’ve reduced the number of hours I would have to stay at the office tonight. I and my family, thank you for a level of customer service that exceeds expectations.
Your service says much about the pride and attention to detail your corporation Payroll Maxx has to offer its customers.
Most respectfully,

"Jodi is our payroll specialist and she does an excellent job. Every time I’ve had to call her with a question, she has been very professional & knowledgeable. If she didn’t know the answer she has always researched it and gotten me the answer in a timely manner. There have been a couple of situations where Jodi has gone above and beyond to make sure our payroll / employees have been taken care of. I think it’s really important for positive feedback and Jodi definitely deserves it. It’s always a pleasure/reassuring to know that Jodi is just a phone call / e-mail away for any of my payroll needs."

"I took over the payroll department in June of 2003. During this time, the accounting supervisor was looking over several options for the payroll process. It was decided to go with Payroll Maxx starting in January of 2004. We have been with them ever since.
I like that we are assigned a "payroll specialist" to call for our account as then they become familiar with your payroll and any "odd things" that might occur throughout the year.
Their program is fairly easy to use and understand and they are always updating the programs, making it better. They are always open to suggestions, whether it involves how the program works, or reports that might be useful.
Service is fast, questions are answered in a timely manner and fees are reasonable. We are very satisfied with Payroll Maxx."

Anthony,
It is my pleasure to offer this letter to Payroll Maxx as a reflection of the payroll processing and tax filing service you have provided Landscapes Golf Group for the past four-plus years.
Prior to signing with Payroll Maxx in December 2005, we contracted with another payroll provider to provide our payroll processing and payroll tax filing duties. After meeting with the folks from Payroll Maxx we were sold on their competitive pricing, reporting capabilities, the fact that they were located in Omaha, NE and finally their dedication to customer service and really meeting the needs of their clients.
Once the contract was signed, the transition was pretty seamless and virtually stress-free for all of our facilities. Payroll Maxx offered hands on training both onsite and via teleconference and everything came online accurately as promised.
We are currently using Payroll Maxx to provide payroll services for 15 of our golf courses and related entities spread out over 9 states. We count on Payroll Maxx to file all state and federal payroll tax reports and to handle the preparation and distribution of our year end W-2's.
We continue to be completely satisfied with our relationship with Payroll Maxx and truly look at them as an important business partner rather than simply a third party vendor. I anticipate our relationship will continue to strengthen as our company grows.
Sincerely
Bryce J.

Corporate Headquarters
What a team, what a payroll company! I want to let you know how happy we all are that we switched to Payrollmaxx. There are a lot of payroll processors out there, but none like Payrollmaxx. The entire staff worked together and got our 1st payroll processed with ease, which is unheard of. I must tell you I tried many before Payrollmaxx and everyone was a nightmare. I really dreaded payday but I have to tell you, Payrollmaxx made the conversion very painless and I must say this is the first time ever that every employee was happy and no one is in my office all upset. It was a great payday; I would not have known it was payday. Many time companies are reluctant to switch because of all the work and errors, but NO ONE needs to have that fear with Payrollmaxx.
I am so glad that John LaFever kept in contact with me and really cared about us, no matter what the size of our company.
If you ever need a reference, I would be honored to give one to anyone.”

John: Just wanted to take a minute to tell you I am so happy we switched from ADP to Payroll Maxx!! As you know, we were only with ADP a short time, and it was a disaster. As I told you, I think they were just too big to be flexible with a company of our size and experience. And just starting out, we needed hand-holding and flexibility. Fortunately, we found Payroll Maxx.
I also wanted to tell you, the main reason we contacted you again once we decided to leave ADP was your comment to me when I called you to say we were going with ADP after the bid process. We initially bid four payroll companies. When I contacted each company to say we had chosen ADP, they were curt to the point of rudeness. You, on the other hand, said that you were sorry to hear that we had gone with ADP, but you enjoyed getting to know us. You also said that if I found ADP did not meet my needs, be sure to call you. And the rest, as they say, is history.
I have greatly appreciated your continued service after the sale. You and your staff have been extremely accommodating and helpful getting us through the initial break-in period. Even now that I am basically in solo mode, I appreciate your continued contact on occasion just to “check on us”. John, you actually delivered on everything you said you would. Imagine that!!
Please let me know if you ever need a reference – I would be glad to offer one. I am a big fan.
Sincerely,
