Just started using the services of Commonwealth Payroll and great experience. From sales department to the payroll rep, everyone is very helpful. There is always someone available to help if there is a question. They are quick to return calls or answer questions through email. Good company!

– Alta Pry

I was introduced to Commonwealth payroll by James Salgado! Being a locally owned real estate business, it’s important that I support others as long as I believe in them; and boy do I believe in Commonwealth ! He showed me how easy it would be to run my payroll every month, the ease of adding and removing employees from payroll, as well as the accessibility employees have on their side of the site. I would recommend commonwealth payroll to anyone looking for peace of mind and ease when it comes to payroll operations.

– Chad Davis

Commonwealth Payroll is the #1 for everything! Their customer service is next to none. It’s a 1-stop-shop. James Salgado has been nothing less than 10/10 perfect! Always give them an RFP if you want your company to run smoothly & retain your amazing employees. Anything you need, again this is a 1-STOP-SHOP!

– Robert Holt

We switched payroll companies when our payroll service provider retired after 40+ years. Commonwealth Payroll came highly recommended. The set up was seamless and their support has been top notch! They are quick to answer any questions or concerns and are always available by phone (which is rare these days). Every single employee we have had contact with has been helpful and personable. We would definitely recommend Commonwealth Payroll.

– Joanne Garris

From the moment our office chose Commonwealth Payroll, our expectations of customer service and transparency were exceeded. If you are looking for a company that cares about your needs then choose Commonwealth Payroll. Attention to detail is obviously a top priority for them and that is a must when choosing a payroll company! You will not be disappointed.

– Erika Dorrman

We have been using Commonwealth for a couple years now and they are amazing. The initial set up and training went so smooth and since then their customer support has been stellar. Anytime I have a question they are quick to respond within minutes. I would absolutely recommend them if you are thinking about outsourcing your payroll. 10 out of 10 stars if it went up that high!!
