History

Scott Wald founded SurePayroll in Highland Park, Illinois in January 2000 as the first online payroll service to pay and file its customers’ payroll taxes.[2]

In late 2004, SurePayroll released its Small Business Scorecard that analyzes its customers' payrolls every month to determine the state of the small business economy.[3]

In December 2009, SurePayroll became the first payroll company to have a payroll iPhone app, allowing customers to process payroll on their iPhones, iPod touches, or iPads.[4]

On December 9, 2010, Paychex announced its intention to acquire SurePayroll.[5] The acquisition was completed on February 9, 2011, for $115 million cash.[6]
