We looked at Employ-Ease to replace our payroll setup. They got back to us fast, and the demo showed how easy it'd be to handle time tracking for a small crew. We couldn't make the switch yet because of timing, but it's still on our list. Worth a call.

I highly recommend Lisa and Employ-Ease. She is highly professional, organized, detailed, and will treat your payroll as a high priority. Even through life challenges, she's made sure she provides the best service to her clients. She recently celebrated 25 yrs of service and there's a good reason for that -- she's great at her job and people want her on their team!

My wife runs her own psychology practice and was tired of the run around and constant shifting of account executives at Rochester's big payroll company. She appreciates having one person she can call, ask questions and know that her payroll is being professionally handled. Lisa at Employ-Ease has been excellent to work with.
