Southland Data Processing

I recently had to get a 1099 processed and called to see the time frame for getting this done. They were extremely thorough and got the job done exactly when I needed it. I will continue to use southland Data Processing when I have any payroll issues. Most payroll companies do the same the same thing and how I am treated is really important to me. They value each and every client whether big or small.

Fast and responsive, I always like doing business with smaller local companies. They lose a star because their system requires me to be able to receive text messages to log in and when I am out of the country I need to plan way ahead to overcome this.

I’ve used SDP for several years for two different businesses. They have been terrific: very helpful (I am a small business owner who would rather make and sell things than become an HR/​payroll expert!) and have always delivered as promised.
One thing I particularly like about SDP is the friendly people on the phone– the first person I talk to can almost always answer my questions or fix my problem so I don’t have to spend a long time being shuffled around from unanswered-​voicemail to unanswered-​voicemail as seems to be the norm these days.
I have had a couple little errors over the years with SDP, but they were almost all my fault initially, and SDP was always quick and pleasant to resolve the problems, no matter how they started.
It’s also nice to do business with a local company who hasn’t sold out to a faceless mega-​corp. SDP is in Upland and if you need help, you can go by their offices or they will arrange time on the phone to talk you through any payroll anxiety you may be having.
Their fees are reasonable, their service is sterling, their people are friendly… what’s not to love about SDP? I have used PayChex in the past… never again.
Highly recommend SDP for your payroll needs.

This is the absolute worst payroll company. My husband never gets his Direct Deposit paychecks on time. They still are paying employees that no longer work for the company. I have never seen a worse payroll company. For 3 months my husband didn’t even get a paystub. So his employer had to reissue a check, make a new paycheck stub, and this company wants to be paid? For what, constantly screwing up. Legally, SDP Direct Deposit payroll must be in the bank at 12 am on the pay day. Not whenever you feel like it. This company has a lot of fixing to do. Looks like in 2013 they were doing fine, well now, it’s 2014 and wow, have they gone down hill. Can’t wait til the employer’s new company starts, and we never have to deal with SDP again!

I highly recommend SDP for their professionalism and expertise in handling all payroll needs. Being somewhat new with payroll, they have made my transition to this extremely important H R. function, an ease for me. Every phone call to their office has been received quickly and courteously. My appreciation to all the staff is a given.

More than just payroll. Not only do they make sure that your business’ needs are met, but their service is superb and goes above and beyond to make sure they can assist and coordinate with the needs of your other financial partners. Brett Strauss and John Graham do a magnificent job.
