Testimonials

When I needed a payroll solution for a Winddown, WorkOut Wages was the answer. Alacrity and a ‘will to make it happen’ was the theme in the process as we needed a quick and short-term payroll solution for a liquidation I was managing that entailed 22-employees including both office and hourly workers that we needed to continue to work through the process. Within a 24-hour period of our call we had a quote and when the judgement came through they were able to onboard the employees with three days. I appreciate the seamless transition and was glad to know we were covered by their liability insurance and Workmans Comp as well as being compliant with the IRS in the ability they had to issue W2’s. WorkOut Wages is now my Go To payroll and benefits service for all my future winddowns
