Paychex put a proposal up before the state and the IRS with the Courts watching. They determined a method of collecting employees taxes, properly recording them in a manner that coincides with the state treasurers office manner of bookkeeping.
Then they determined how to make a set profit while relieving the state treasurers office of posting booklets and pamphlets and forms in numerous statewide offices. Myself, I would rather see private businesses like Paychex than having state employees who don’t know sh!t from Shinola collecting fantastic benefits and pensions while they work a couple of hours a day.
And they relieve me of a lot of work. That’s what I pay them for. But I was shocked when I figured out that they weren’t turning over the taxes that they collect from me at the time that they collect them. But, that’s the way it works. I’m grateful for the service.
