Stability Over Uncertainty: Why Switch to Workforce PayHub After the Paychex-Paycor Acquisition

As 2025 unfolds, the payroll industry is witnessing significant changes, most notably with Paychex's recent announcement of their acquisition of Paycor HCM in a monumental $4.1 billion deal. This deal, expected to close by mid-2025, will affect around 50,000 small and medium-sized businesses across the US.

This strategic move by Paychex to expand their AI-driven HR solutions follows closely on the heels of another major industry shift—ADP's acquisition of WorkForce Software for $1.2 billion in October 2024.

This wave of consolidation in the payroll and HR software sector points to a trend towards larger firms creating potentially monopolistic structures, which could lead to deteriorating service quality and increased fees over time. If you are currently a Paychex customer and are considering a change, this could be the ideal time to explore your options. Switching to Workforce PayHub could address and alleviate many of the issues associated with large, impersonal payroll providers. Here’s why considering a switch is prudent now:

Potential Customer Concerns

  • Service Disruptions: Mergers of this scale can lead to significant operational disruptions. For businesses with intensive payroll cycles, especially during the busy summer months, these disruptions can be more than just inconvenient—they could be disastrous if they coincide with critical payroll processing periods.

  • Decline in Customer Service: With mergers, redundancies in staffing, including customer service representatives and account managers, often occur. This can lead to a diminished level of support for existing customers as the remaining staff are stretched thin managing an increased customer base.

  • Increased Fees: The financial burden of acquisitions often falls on the customers, leading to increased fees. Coupled with potential declines in service quality, this can create a double whammy for affected businesses.
