October 31, 2024

5.0

My over all experience was the program was really simple and was able to move around in the program with ease.

Pros

Though it's been quite a while, the program was really easy to manage.

November 12, 2024

3.0

It was easy to use for payroll, but integrating it with other software was a chore.

It was simple to use and needed very little experience to use it.

### "Paychex Flex Review"

October 21, 2024

5.0

Pros

Intuitive software to see the paychecks and how much sick time off I have! If you are looking for a simple payroll tracker, Paycheck Flex would be a great tool for it.

Cons

I have not utilized any other features than checking the weekly payrolls (I much I got paid) and sick time, so if you expect any other advanced features, there would be another better choice than Paycheck Flex.

### "Paychex Flex"

September 17, 2024

3.0

We've been using Paychex Flex for almost 10 years now.

Pros

It does any kind of math for you, shows anniversary date when hired, keeps track of sick & vacation times, and gives tax info

Cons

Using the TAB key to get to each box can be a chore. I have the same schedule everyday. There should be a way to put my hours in one day and have it copy for the other days. I have to individually punch in my hours for each day. Time consuming.

### "Paychex make timesheets and payroll easier."

November 4, 2024

5.0

Very comfortable with all it can do. It is flexible as indicated in the name, and easy to use.

Pros

The ability to carryover data from pay period to pay period.

Cons

Would like a time picker rather than key in 9:30 am to 5:30 pm…or be intuitive to know if I put in 9:30 am and key in 5:30, it would presume pm.

### "Paypech Flex: La Soluzione Semplice per Acquisti Dilazionati Senza Pensieri""

November 6, 2024

4.0

Hai trovato Paypech Flex molto comodo per dilazionare i pagamenti, apprezzando in particolare la facilità d’uso e la possibilità di rateizzare senza interessi. Noti che il servizio non è ancora disponibile ovunque, ma lo consideri comunque una soluzione ideale per gestire acquisti più importanti senza dover pagare tutto subito.

Pros

Uso Paypech Flex ormai da un po' e devo dire che mi ha davvero semplificato la vita. Grazie a questo servizio di PayPal posso fare acquisti online senza dover pagare tutto subito. Basta scegliere l'opzione di pagamento dilazionato al momento del checkout e il costo viene suddiviso in comode rate, spesso senza interessi. Quello che apprezzo di più è la facilità con cui si può usare: è integrato direttamente nel mio account PayPal, quindi non devo fare richieste complicate o passare da altre piattaforme. È perfetto quando voglio prendermi qualcosa di un po’ più costoso senza sentirmi troppo in colpa.

Cons

L'unico difetto? Non tutti i negozi lo supportano ancora, quindi a volte non posso usarlo per tutto quello che vorrei. Ma, per il resto, Paypech Flex è diventato il mio modo preferito di gestire i pagamenti online.

### "Intuitive and user friendly"

December 6, 2024

3.0

Overall it was easy to use. As noted, not being able to view my team in aggregate and at a glance was tedious and cumbersome.

Pros

It was intuitive to use and maneuver through the system.

Cons

I could not see my team at one time. I had to click into each individual to see their hours for the week.

### "Paychex Flex"

September 12, 2024

3.0

The product is decent but you do need to keep your eye on the product and processes. Tax filing can be an issue in some instances if you aren't paying close attention. The reporting could be better as there wasn't much user customisable offerings.

Pros

Intuitive. Reasonable reporting ability. Full tax service.

Cons

Customer service. Tax inaccuracies. Unable to go fully paperless.

### "Paychex Flex is clean and intuitive. "

September 26, 2024

5.0

Paychex Flex is a convenient and functional solution for both employers and employees. While it has room for improvement, it's still a solid choice for companies looking to streamline HR and payroll processes.

Pros

One of the standout features is the ability to view and manage payroll on the go. I can quickly check pay stubs, tax information, and even benefits, all in one place. It's also great for employees who need to clock in or out remotely to review their schedules. The flexibility to access this information at any time is a real plus.

Cons

The app can be slow to load at times. It also lacks few customization option that would make it more user-friendly, like the ability to set custom notifications or personalize the dashboard.

### "Paychexs. I am not a 100% sold on it!"

October 22, 2024

4.0

When I called customer service with try to getting my correct information in the system, the woman I spoke with spoke English and she was so very helpful!

Pros

The app is user friendly. There is a face recognition button on the app to use- I forget my passwords, and this is a nice feature.

Cons

I have to be honest with my review- I do not know if this is Paycheck or my employer on how they set things up. I do not see what I make an hour; I believe paychex has is set up for a dollar amount each pay week, and it is a salary pay, I do not think they can do it a different way. It is sort of strange. it was very difficult to change my personal information that my employer had entered in wrong, not all my paystubs are available to view.

### "I wouldn't go with thiem, if I had a do-over"

October 25, 2024

1.0

I am looking for a different company to go with.

Pros

I can call and speak to them about running my payroll.

Cons

It depends on whom you toalk to, but whenever I call to get assistance, I get wildly different answers, with misinformation. I also don't get the full truth about the product and get charged a lot of money, even though it wasn't disclosed to me upon sign up.

### "Paychex Flex Is a Good Onboard Solution"

August 23, 2024

3.0

Overall I'm pleased with this product. The onboarding and user interface is very user friendly and easy to learn and use. The communication could be better due to account reps changing quite a bit. And of course, I would like to see a more economical price nowadays.

Pros

Very user friendly interface for manually entering payroll and onboarding new employees.

Cons

Many different hands and account reps. The communication could be a bit better.

### "Paychex Flex as easy as 1,2,3!"

August 27, 2024

5.0

I have been using Paychex as the manager of a very busy salon. The Paychex Flex app and site is so easy. Adding new employees is a breeze-and it allows the employee to be part of the process eliminating any mistakes. I can check it, review messages and act even if not at the salon. The Team at Paychex is amazing-always helpful and accommodating.

Pros

The EASE of use. Everything in the portal is clearly laid out and user friendly.

Cons

Not available...Love everything about it!
