We Believe

We care a lot about getting payroll right. But there are some things we care more about than payroll. What we do as a company happened almost by accident. We could have done a lot of things. But who we are happened on purpose. And we believe it’s something that should continue to happen on purpose each and every day.

In Payroll Country, we care a lot about payroll.

 
We care a lot about getting payroll right.
 
And we care to keep payroll something our clients don't have to care too much about.
 
But there are some things we care more about than payroll.
 
What we do as a company happened almost by accident. We could have done a lot of things.
 
But who we are happened on purpose.
 
And we believe it’s something that should continue to happen on purpose each and every day.
 
We come from a place you've probably never heard of.
 
Where we’re from, people come first. Manners aren’t optional. And a job isn’t done until it is.
 
Where we’re from, there are no sales scripts. No broken promises. No hidden fees.
 
Where we're from, you don't harvest in springtime.
 
And if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
 
Where we’re from, nobody likes payroll, but everybody loves getting paid.
 
That’s Payroll Country.
 
Payroll Country isn’t just our headquarters in Perry, N.Y. It exists anywhere. At any time. To anyone who prefers the truth and demands better.
 
You may not know where we come from, but you probably get what we stand for.
 
And we think you’ll love it just as much as we do.

Hunt Hollow Ski Club has tried other payroll companies from time to time, but always return to Complete Payroll because we have an assigned specialist who knows our needs inside and out, is knowledgeable, easy to reach and very responsive. My questions and concerns are addressed in a VERY timely manner and I never feel that I have to handle sticky issues alone.

Lindsay Ezard goes above and beyond to assist me with any question I may have. Thank You Lindsay!

My experience with Complete Payroll has been exceptional. I was a novice to payroll so my learning curve was big. Andrea is wonderful helping me navigate payroll and not just fixing my errors but explaining what I did or did not do.

We were referred to Complete Payroll years ago by a board member and haven't looked back since. When I first started working with them, I knew nothing about payroll. My first rep Lacey, and now JoAnn, are great to work with. Working with Complete Payroll has just been a wonderful all-around experience for me.

Complete Payroll is a great payroll company, and we love Lacey! She always has the answers to my questions without hesitation. There is very little (if any) wait time to get a call back.

The first suggestion I made after I joined Shear Ego was that if they were not yet using Complete Payroll, they should be. We continue to be impressed and happy with the quality and friendliness of service, and the excellent newsletters and up-to-date information on all things payroll and HR.

We moved to Complete Payroll about 3 years ago. It was seemless and working with Lacy Smart on Mondays is a breeze.

People do business with people, not with corporations. In over 20 years, we have only had two customer service reps. Instead of feeling like we are one of 10,000, CP makes us feel like family! We count on Lindsay getting it right, and she always does. Even when we go outside the box, all is as we expect it!

Diane RomanoROMOLD Inc.

Complete Payroll fits my budget, I never get bounced around between customer service reps, and it's very easy to enter my payroll. I simply take a photo of my payroll sheet and email it to my rep. There's never a problem! With them, it's business done, and business done right.

Dick EakinsNorco Farms

Complete Payroll Processing provided an easy transition from internal payroll processing. With payroll as their core competency, CP has the expertise to help mitigate errors and ease the burden of annual updates. Comprehensive reporting gives all the details needed and an organization can operate with an added piece of mind knowing that the payroll service is taken care of.

After nearly 10 years, we are receiving the same or better service than when we started.

When our business began in 2005 I knew right away which payroll company we would use. I have had exactly 2 payroll specialists since then, and I feel like they know me & our company. I am not shy to ask questions & if they don't know the answer I am always pointed in the right direction. I have every confidence in my payroll specialist, Lindsay and the company she is with!

Great customer service combined with a reduction in processing fees made the decision to stay with Complete Payroll an easy one.
