Paycom has no interest in, or need for, any trade secrets. Paycom already knows all the players in the industry and our innovative technology such as the launch of our venture with MPA3 has no use for anything that CCBill has to offer. In compliance with applicable law, Paycom believes that every employee has a right to work wherever they want and when approached by talent such as Patrick Curran and David Salonic we are not willing to let draconian restraints on a person's right to work get in our way.

We believe that the best way to keep an employee is to have a great atmosphere, great product and a great company. We frankly cannot understand what it is that CCBill is really afraid of? Competition?

The Epoch Family

With all due respect Rand, I would bet that Epoch would react similarly if two of its senior managers left abruptly for CCBill.

Epoch and CCBill are both great companies. Both companies would be attractive places to work. If Epoch doesn't need Patrick's inside knowledge of CCBill and its operations, then why didn't Epoch choose the high ground and avoid hiring from your biggest competitor? Isn't that the ethical thing to do?

Surely you knew this would start a battle between companies. You must get dozens of qualified resumes weekly. So, in your own words, WHAT ARE YOU REALLY AFRAID OF?
