Paycom's single-application software helps companies automate and streamline payroll and HR processes, simplifying the employee life cycle.
Small and medium businesses with 1-1000 employees that want to optimize their human resources management with efficient and affordable HR solutions.
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Outdated and clunky, unintuitive.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.
The customer service is amazing, they listen and make changes to the software to make it a better fit for your business.
No SSO support, annoying email "2-factor" login. Very clunky UX unclear where I will find different functionality.
Compared to other HRIS that we've used, set-up was easy, maintenance is a piece of cake, the price is incredible and customer support is superb.
No e-signature and that's a bit annoying but we can absolutely manage without it. The demo is a real demo not a trial.
I recommend 100% Folks for companies who want simple tool with great features.
Haven't yet figured out a way to differentiate between paid vacation time vs unpaid vacation time, they both seem to drop down the total balance.
Bilingual HR software, it's a must for a company operating in Canada and Quebec. Great KPI module to help managers reach their HR goals.
I don't feel like I am getting any work done. I work in a fully web-app environment, this is the only app that routine fails to load.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
