Ctr removes the headaches? Yeah right. I've created a account through my employer and I've wasted countless hours trying to view my payroll. Wait and there's more. Ctr will not talk to you directly. They will only talk to your employer. I prefer my paper checks.

CTR has been an invaluable resource in helping with COVID 19 legislation and loan forgiveness. I cannot imagine navigating each new amendment on my own and am so appreciative of all of the hard work they have done to keep us informed and on the right track!

Our business has used CTR for many years. Even if I could save money with another company I would not switch. We have used others and they are not any where close to CTR. CTR is a partner with me and supports us with HR and payroll. WOW!

CTR has been so easy to work with, especially during quarantine. They made applying for the PPP loan painless, because they designed reports to answer every question asked on the application. Their staff is always helpful, friendly, and responds timely. Great company to work with!
