Paycom's single-application software helps companies automate and streamline payroll and HR processes, simplifying the employee life cycle.
Designed for businesses looking for an all-in-one payroll and workforce management solution from a single vendor. Definitiv is a cloud-based, mobile-friendly platform servicing over 27 industries.
The fact that our "hire to fire" process is completely seamless in Paycom is a huge win. My dedicated specialist is there with me every step of the way from small questions to big issues.
Some of my staff have complained about the software not working correctly when downloaded as an application on their phones.
Paycom has been super easy to use in the few months since starting with it. I love that it has an easy to use app and login.
Outdated and clunky, unintuitive. And the worst thing is the account management.
The Implementation Specialist at all employers were knowledgeable, professional, courteous, attentive to the employer needs, accessible, and caring spirit.
I dislike that it has almost to many options of things to do.
The ease of time/payroll management for our internal employees, contract employees and clients are primary benefits to our team. Annual benefits enrollment is a huge plus as well.
I have been waiting 2 months for them to fix a mistake they made on my W2. I was told that it would take 2-3 weeks to fix.
Picture recognition for staff sign in was cool. It has a lot of potential.
Lots, it was incredibly hard to set up a simple roster using their program. If someone missed a sign in or sign out it was really hard to edit to their correct hours.
I love the reporting centre, and the date driven nature means I can track all changes over time.
Inability to back up and therefore restore to a version should a large mistake be made.
User friendly and easy to find my way around the system.
When adding annual leave it kept doubling up on their hours, example, I would add 7.5 hours annual leave and it would appear on Definitiv as 15 hours. Hard to edit timesheets and rosters.
Ease of use once correct parameters are set up.
Dejiana R.: Hi, my name is Dejiana. I'm the CEO of BBO LLC. I have about 10 people in my camp. And the rating I would give for Paycom is a four. I use Paycom to make sure that all my employees know what time they need to come in, clock out. I can send them little messages through the app so the whole camp will get the messages. It keeps me pretty organized with everybody because I'm not good on paper. I'm better on the phone. So, Paycom helps me with at least the live app so that everybody knows what we're doing at what time. I like that it's easy for my employees to use. They can personalize it with their name, number, and the picture because we're like a fun camp, so we got to make sure that everybody can be uniquely themselves. It gives you that personal effect while it's still being an employee app, so I like it. Well, the only thing that I would say I might dislike is it was hard for me to set it up by myself. So I had to have a couple of my employees help me because, like I said, I'm not a technology person. I just know how to text real fast. So, I would say the setup is not for a beginner, but it's not too hard if you have somebody that knows what they're doing.
