      This company took over payroll for the Alabama SAIL peogram without having the information needed to do so. I do not know which faults lie with the old company or with Acumen or with the SAIL program itself, but it has been disastrous. To top it all off, making this change 2 weeks before Christmas was just stupid. I don't know whose decision that was, but again, it was really stupid. People needed their paychecks more so than any time of the year. Holiday closings made it even worse trying to get ahold of someone by phone at Acumen. Poor, poor planning and organization with this whole ordeal. The absolute worst thing about it is that surely some of these clients have lost their precious employees because of late or missing payments. These precious employees are so hard to come by to begin with. Acumen has dropped the ball with managing ******* SAIL and has caused some clients to lose their caretakers. Like I said, there is possibly blame to be placed with SAIL and Morning Sun (the old payroll company)...I don't know but I wish I did. I am an employee for a client of SAIL and have been for years. I've been paid by multiple companies now as I believe SAIL takes the lowest bid every couple of years. Acumen has definitely been the worst.

      I have a son that gets help through Personal Choices and he really doesn't get many hrs but since this company has taken over its been nothing but problems. I cant afford to lose his caregiver. I also don't understand the clocking in at the physical address and clocking out at the physical address. It has caused huge problems for us.

      Absolute most incompetent company I've ever encountered. Their excuse for not paying thousands of employees and causing car repos, cancellations of insurance, utilities cut off, etc is that they have so much to do. Well someone with a brain should of have said hey we cant take yall on as clients bc we **** at our jobs. They are arrogant and rude that's if you can get someone to answer or return a call. I've also heard that the *** is not only pompous and kind of dumb he also side steps all payment issues when addressed and does nothing to rectify. They ahave lawsuits out the ****. So an explanation as to why they are still in business would be great. I am still owed payment and it's been over a month. I've spoken to a "manager" who hung on me bc I asked him if he got his paycheck even tho hes not doing his job. Needless to say I'm sure their employees still getting paid even tho they fail to do theirs.

      I too am a participant of Alabama personal choices program. Since they took over, none of my workers pay deposits have been correct. They are missing hours and per ADSS my worker got an increase in wage of 77 cents as of Jan 20, and still waiting for back pay. I have called messaged, written ADSS and personal choices manager, also called ********* They say they are working on it. Acumen is the worst I've seen.

      Our employee was not paid on 2/23. I've called and left messages, sent emails through the contact us form, and left my number in line to have someone call me back. I hope this company doesn't wonder why they have 1 star overall rating. I've never seen customer service this bad/delayed. Maybe this will get someone's attention because nothing else seems to.

      I am an employee for an Alabama Personal Choices participant. Since Acumen became the agent for this service on 12/23/24, I have not been paid correctly. Deposits have been short, over, or split in two. This most recent pay period of 1/28/24-2/10/24, I worked 80 hours.I was paid for 18.Myself, the Personal Choices counselor, & that counselor's supervisor have all been calling & emailing Acumen's customer ***************** departments. None of us has gotten a response.I cannot work for free. If we have no resolution by the end of this week, I will have to resign & find another job. In that event, the participant may have to enter a long-term care facility as the family is currently unable to replace me. Given the particpant's complex care plan & fragility, her prognosis in an LTC facility is poor.

      Just like everyone else I have yet to be paid since Acumen took over. The last time I was paid was by Allied on 12/31. I have yet to be paid since. It is 02/14 and I have nothing nice to say. We have called and emailed. Ive turned in all my timesheets in order on time and I have the confirmation emails as well saying they are in processing. Ive been patient with the transition but its been a month you should have everything figured out. Our case worker has also been contacting us every week just about to find out I still havent been paid. This is ridiculous. How are we suppose to live our lifes and pay our bills if we cant get paid. We dont work for free and dont say youve tried contacting me because NO you have not nor have you contacted my employer. Thank you

      **************, we sincerely apologize for your experience. It appears the banking information we had on file for you was inaccurate as the funds we sent to your account were returned. That payment has since been reissued to you. Please let us know if you have any further concerns.

      They refuse to speak with anyone. Turned in my time sheet on 1/16 and have still not received my paycheck as of 2/11. Email is automated responses to read FAQs. We(caregivers with Alabama personal choices) are having our electric cut off, losing our cars, late fees for unpaid bills etc, ** this company doesn't know what they are doing. Horrible business practices, customer service and ethics.

      Hello LaMarcus. Our records show we have sent your pay via Direct Deposit on the following dates, 2/14, 2/23, 3/4, and 3/8. We have attempted to contact you via the phone number we were provided from the previous FMS but the person who answers says it is a wrong number. If you would like for us to call you, please provide a working phone number. Thank you.
