Brian was fantastic! Mercer could not maintain Payroll manager and then moved to the UKG managed services approach. Brian was the ultimate professional with troubleshooting when pay issues or system issues arose. Further assisted with tax notifications and providing audit data to our internal accounting teams.

For Paytech, I would HIGHLY recommend partnering for their services. They were great to work with and took the time to understand what our issues were, develop a game plan to resolve those issues, and include our team in the step-by-step resolutions.

For UKG, I would advise taking additional time to confirm implementation is done correctly. Our issues derive from our implementation process where “we didn’t know what we didn’t know” and that has hurt our ability to utilize the UKG product. Ask lots of questions and don’t stop asking until you fully understand.

Working with Chele Herlein at Paytech was a pleasure. She came to the table with 30 + years of tax experience which was exactly what our company needed. We had a short implementation window switching from ADP to UKG which unfortunately cause many lingering tax issues. Chele introduced processes that will help minimize tax issues in the future.
