“Payroll and Benefit services were provided to PRISM by TriNet, a PEO and as of September 2016 BY Paychex. As a result, W-2s for PRISM employees actually list TriNet AND PAYCHEX as the Employer and the EIN is TriNet/PAYCHEX's rather than PRISM's. A search of IRS records under PRISM's EIN will not yield the payroll numbers as indicated.”
