Customer Reviews
We recently switched to ABS Payroll from another provider based on a referral from another business we know that uses them. Garrett and Marty made the changeover process incredibly easy for us. ABS also makes our weekly process so much easier than before. It took us a bit to learn their UI, but Marty was quick to respond to our questions and provide guidance both via email and on the phone. They are a true partner in our business. Not only that, their fees are clear and up-front. No random add-ons f
Producers beware, the cheap fees come with a much higher price. ABS through Caio was largely unresponsive to paying talent and amounted to a whopping $6,100 in late fees for my production. Violet her supervisor finally had to step in to help, but even then they made plenty of errors and completely forgot to pay people. They appeared to be drowning in work and ultimately I'm the one left holding the bill. I've come to find out after that they are known across the industry for being the worst SAG payroll comp
We used ABS for payroll on a project twice now. They did a great job both times. Very easy to work with, great communication, and their work was excellent.
Best payroll company esp for smaller sag projects. They offered consistently great customer service, responsive and timely replies, and meaningful solutions any time we encountered issues. From sales to accts/payroll to beyond?everyone was so pleasant and professional. For my next project, I know exactly which payroll company I'm returning to: ABS!
We have worked with ABS Payroll for over 10 years and have done every film and television project with them. Our company has grown a great deal in that time yet we were always treated as a valuable client at every phase of our development, no matter the budget level of the project. All of the staff (Kris, Justin, Daniel, Violet, etc.) are knowledgeable, patient and thorough. We look forward to continuing to work and grow with ABS Payroll.
While I had several problems with ABS, I have to say that Tharsis Marquez made everything so much better. I had to start handling the payroll for my film at the very end of the production after directing it and I was frustrated and didn't understand all that I needed to to do it properly. Tharsis never once was snippy with me. She remained professional and helpful throughout. That's exactly the type of person we all want working for us. Thank you, Tharsis.
This company goes far above and beyond any customer service experience I have ever had. President, Kris King communicates directly with people with a genuine interest and his team is highly effective and very respectful. A payroll company that not only works with integrity for the companies who enlist them but also for the people employed by those companies.
ABS completed all of our payroll on time and on budget. Made our financier feel comfortable and managed the paperwork process for actors who didn't do their paperwork correctly. Highly recommend for films in $1-$5M range
ABS has been my payroll company of choice since 2013, I've used them on all my productions since! Everyone on the team has prompt replies, even out of hours and they go above and beyond to help facilitate and quick and easy process for production.
We have done 14 movies with ABS Payroll and they really understand independent producer's needs. Kris, Fanny, Daniel and the whole team are always accessible and great to work with.
This was my first time working with ABS Payroll and it was stress free and well managed. I enjoyed working with all their staff who delivered quick responses and service.
Easy to work with, flexible, we were able to work out the specific details of our projects with them even as they changed. Great experience every time.
These people were rude. They acted like they were big shots and they say they support independent film makers but show no love to small business in the startup incubating phase. SAG should reject them.
A great overall experience by an easy to communicate with and thorough team. Thank you for making this part of production hassle free!
I went down a long list of payroll companies until I found one who actually answered the phone. Not only did they answer the phone promptly, but they had the exact information I needed and I was able to begin the process immediately. Saving time in my business is everything.
Absolutely horrible I've worked on THREE shows where their service is uncalled for. Literally a month late on their checks and I'm still waiting on another. I'm late on rent and a car payment because delaying to pay us.Whoever is in charge of this company needs to reevaluate themselves and how this company is run.
Producers be warned - they don't report accurately, over report residuals costing producers.
Does what it's meant to do. 5/5
