First Priority Payroll (aka Priority Pay Payroll) failed to file tax remitances to the IRS for numerous months. This was discovered with a hefty IRS penalty notice. It should be noted that they failed to properly pay the IRS in previous instances, but it was for much smaller amounts, and they quickly paid the taxes and the penalties/interest.in this situation, they agreed to pay the unpaid taxes but were unwilling to pay the penalties and interest. It should also be noted that the contractual agreement (through them and Ceridian) stated that they would cover any/all penalties and interest, so this was in clear violation. Furthermore, the FAQ section of their site additionally states it.
In any case, they referred me to their attorney the second I asked about the unpaid penalties/interest. I left messages with the attorney that have gone unanswered. Further inquiries to the president and tax department (via Email and phone) of First Priority Pay have since gone unanswered. Recently, a notice has shown up on their site stating that the acquisition by ADP has been completed. One must wonder if they have since shirked off all responsibility and that ADP should be confronted, or what? I'm curious if anyone else has considered legal action against this company.
