Understanding your Complete Payroll Solutions data breach notification letter
If a Complete Payroll Solutions letter arrived in your mailbox, here is what it means, why you received it, and the free steps you can take right now.
Why you received this letter
Complete Payroll Solutions operates as a professional payroll and human resources services provider, managing sensitive administrative and financial data for a wide range of corporate clients. By the nature of their business, they collect and store highly sensitive personal information, including payroll records, tax documentation, and direct deposit details for employees. In 2025, the company officially reported a data security incident to the California Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within their systems at the time of the incident. This notification is intended to alert you to the potential exposure of your private data and the steps you should take to protect your identity.
