### "Comprehensive HR Platform with Strong Automation"

August 27, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Paycom has been positive. It provides a centralized solution for managing payroll and HR processes while reducing manual work through automation. The platform is reliable and useful for both employees and HR teams, although some advanced functionality has a learning curve.

Pros

Paycom offers a comprehensive platform that combines payroll, HR, benefits, time tracking, and employee management in one place. The employee self-service features are convenient, and automation helps reduce manual administrative tasks. The interface is generally easy to navigate and provides good visibility into employee information.

Cons

Some features can take time to learn, especially when setting up more complex workflows and configurations. Certain reporting and customization options could also be more flexible.

### "One stop shop"

October 1, 2026

5.0

Paycom has been an excellent solution for our organization. As a public agency, we appreciate having benefits administration, payroll, leave of absence tracking, personnel records, career development tools, and even workers' compensation management all in one system. The platform is user-friendly, efficient, and helps streamline many HR processes that would otherwise require multiple systems. Overall, it's been a great experience, and I would recommend Paycom to other agencies looking for a comprehensive, all-in-one HR solution.

Pros

one-stop shop for HR and employee management. From payroll and benefits to leave administration, personnel records, career advancement, and workers' compensation, everything is centralized in one platform.

Cons

setting up takes a while but with any system you have to learn it and then its smooth sailing from there

### "Good HRIS With Personnel Drawbacks "

August 27, 2026

3.0

Pros

I do like the fact that the HRIS is a one stop shop. You have the capability of customizing. I also do like that the system continues to evolve and grow.

Cons

The Paycom team has major turnover. These transitions are often random, and unannounced. I have found that who you get as your team is a coin toss. You may get someone extremely competent, or you may get someone who's aloof and just wants to see features as add on's to the account. Response times regarding major issues are often lackluster. When a response is given, then what happens is the answer are vague, or not accurate. Paycom employee is not consistent, and often underwhelming.

### "Best HR/Payroll software that I have every used!"

July 22, 2026

5.0

Since implementing Paycom 2 years ago we have had an amazing experience with them support-wise and all around. I am able to do everything in Paycom from Payroll to Associate Surveys right in one spot. It just all ties together.

Pros

The training and customer support is TOP NOTCH! I spent several days and hours with my Transition Specialist in training & she was the absolute BEST!

Cons

There is a lot to learn & I basically want to know everything right away, I am too impatient! The upgrades come (which are great & needed) but when things change, it is more to learn & adjust to, which can just be another learning curve.

### "Use Paycom!"

August 12, 2026

5.0

Paycom has been an outstanding platform for managing HR and payroll needs. The system is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and complete tasks efficiently. Its streamlined design helps save time and reduces the learning curve for both administrators and employees. One of Paycom’s greatest strengths is its reliable and responsive customer service. Whenever assistance is needed, their support team is knowledgeable, professional, and quick to provide solutions. The staff consistently go above and beyond to address questions, resolve issues, and ensure a positive experience. Overall, Paycom delivers an excellent combination of ease of use, efficient support, and exceptional customer care.

Pros

Paycom is intuitive and easy to learn. The support team is incredible, and it has been fun getting to know our dedicated professionals on a higher level than just random people answering the phone or responding to emails. Paycom has proven to be an efficient and effective tool for our organization.

Cons

Any challenges that I have experienced to date have been addressed by Paycom's Support Team. Whether we speak with our dedicated professional, or any other agent, we receive prompt attention and solutions to our issues.

### "Paycom- Solid Payroll, easy to update, but lacks reporting"

August 26, 2026

4.0

Overall, I recommend Paycom, for small business, but if you need high analytics or data out, it lacks the ability.

Pros

Simple and easy for employees to understand. Really accurate on payroll. Most parts of the system work seamless together.

Cons

Reporting, basic reporting, but dashboard and complex reporting is subpar at best. Seats are great and add a level of admin work, so be careful before turning on.

### "Paycom is the Best"

August 12, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Paycom has been great. It was my first time utilizing an HRIS. I'm very pleased with Paycom and how it helps me daily.

Pros

Paycom is easy to learn, navigate, and utilize daily. The entire ATS portion has made my job significantly easier. I also love being able to text from an alternate number and avoid using my personal number - a big feature I wish my last companies HRIS had!

Cons

Overall, I can't voice many things I dislike about Paycom. Within the texting platform, there can be glitches but nothing that severely impacts my workflow.

Starting your HRIS journey with a new software can be a big adjustment, so it's great to hear Paycom was easy to learn and immediately useful in your day-to-day operations. We're especially glad tools like Applicant Tracking and Text Messaging have helped simplify recruiting while giving you an easy way to stay connected with candidates. Thanks for sharing your experience, Savannah!

### "Paycom Review"

August 12, 2026

4.0

I have been a part of the implementation of Paycom at one organization and learning an already implemented system at another organization. Starting from scratch would have been difficult if not for an amazing implementation team (Nicole Rose). Coming into a new role at another organization also using Paycom, was an easy transition, however, there are issues with the system and none of the current staff or Paycom representative was present for the implementation, so we are constantly discovering new issues and trying to fix them. Our Paycom representative (Brian Henrichs) has been helpful but is slow to respond and usually has to refer us to another specialist for our issues to be resolved.

Pros

I like the functionality and record keeping aspect. There is also a lot of integration opportunities with file feeds, uploading documents, and keeping information in one place. Employees generally understand the system and how to use it and find information.

Cons

Configuring the system can be tricky, especially if you are not a part of the implementation process. Customer service representative knowledge is spotty, which some representatives being more useful than others.

Response from Paycom

Having experience with multiple payroll systems makes your perspective especially meaningful, and we're honored to hear Paycom stands out as the most reliable! We're glad our easy-to-use platform and your dedicated specialist have made a positive impact, and we appreciate your advocacy, Jennifer!

### "Paycom is a great HRIS"

August 12, 2026

5.0

I've worked with several different payroll systems and Paycom to me has been the most user-friendly payroll systems I've used.

Pros

Ease of use and an amazing customer support system! Every time I've needed help, the support team has gone above and beyond to help.

Cons

It's unfortunate that some of the additional payroll features cost extra. I would like to see them included in a basic subscription.

### "Streamlining HR and Payroll Operations"

July 29, 2026

5.0

Overall, Paycom has been a valuable tool for managing our HR and payroll functions. Having payroll, benefits, onboarding, and employee data in one system helps reduce manual work and improves efficiency. There are occasional challenges with reporting and system navigation, but the platform generally meets our needs and provides a solid foundation for managing our workforce and maintaining compliance requirements.

Pros

Paycom provides a comprehensive HR and payroll platform that centralizes employee information, payroll processing, benefits administration, and reporting in one system. The employee self-service features are easy to use and help reduce administrative workload. Reporting capabilities and workflow automation have also been valuable for managing HR processes more efficiently.

Cons

Some areas of the system can be complex to navigate, particularly when configuring reports or making certain administrative changes. There can be a learning curve for new users, and some processes require additional steps compared to other platforms. System customization options may also be limited in certain areas.

Sales people where nicely persistent and I'm glad they were. Again, not overly pushy, I can't recall her name. New guy (point person) \[sensitive content hidden\] is very nice and helpful. Follows up nicely -checking in with us just enough I feel.

Pros

It has met our needs much better than ADP which we had previously. Report functions-options are one of the drivers that made me approve the switch.

Cons

Had some issues getting push reporting going-still am. Also: It seems a bit slow to get into and to move around in.

July 9, 2026

5.0

Since I have been with Paycom for approximately 1.5 years. Our company has become more compliant, and Paycom has allowed us to continue to keep up with our growth.

Pros

Paycom, customer support is unmatched. The communication and support from all department is outstanding. Bugs and issues are fixed within hours.Huge shoutout to \[sensitive content hidden\] for the endless support and round the clock availability!

Cons

I wish packages were more inclusive of different sub areas, but Paycom is very flexible and willing to work with you in terms of price

### "Absolutely the best software provider and team!"

July 8, 2026

5.0

We will never switch providers again!!! Our Client Relations Representative is also the best--she has been so patient with us learning and teaching us the best methods of using the software! \[sensitive content hidden\] has also been fantastic to work with.

Pros

It is all in one solution; we no longer need to track via spreadsheets trainings, dates, licensure, etc.; the BETI is exceptional--I would have sworn it would not work for our agency but it is fantastic in coaching the employee to review their timecard and paycheck before it is issued! The Ask Here feature is also fantastic! The team structure works well-there is always a person who can answer our questions.

Cons

Some items that we consider "payroll" are in HR; such as Ask Here-could there be a way to have it in payroll? Same with garnishments?

### "Feedback on Paycom Services and Support"

June 24, 2026

4.0

Overall, I would say my experience with Paycom has been good. The system is user-friendly, intuitive, and provides a variety of tools and reports that help me manage HR and payroll responsibilities efficiently. I appreciate having many processes housed within a single platform, which helps streamline day-to-day tasks. While there is always room for improvement and additional features to learn, my overall experience has been positive, and Paycom has been a valuable resource for our organization.

Pros

I really like the reports I am able to pull from Paycom. The system is intuitive and easy to navigate, which has made it a helpful tool for managing HR responsibilities. While I feel comfortable using many of its features, I am still learning and suspect there are many capabilities I have not discovered yet. I'm looking forward to continuing to expand my knowledge and make even better use of the system.

Cons

One area for improvement would be greater consistency in assigned specialists. I often find that once I have established a good working relationship with a specialist, they leave or are reassigned, requiring me to start over with someone new.

June 24, 2026

4.0

It was a great system 14 years ago when we first started using them. Paycom was small and fit our needs well. Now so much has been added (that we don't need or use) that it weighs down the speed of the entire system.

Pros

Customer Support. There is always someone who speaks clear English to help. Completing, approving, and reviewing timecards is easy.

Cons

Report Writer. Although there are many pre-made reports, adjusting one to fit my needs is difficult. Constant updates drag down the system and create usage issues.

Overall I am very satisfied with the platform. I have been in Human Resources for over 20 years and have worked in other de-centralized systems. I have a deep appreciation for Paycom and the ability to have everything I need in one system.

Pros

I love that every aspect of my employee data is at my fingertips. I also appreciate that Paycom is always trying to improve the platform to provide employers the best experience. I feel competent in Paycom, Paycom created a platform that makes it easy for me to ensure I am using all parts of the system!

May 14, 2026

I feel heard and treated with respect. Development recommendations are genuinely considered. They check in periodically to make sure you are getting your full value from the system and review best practices.

Pros

Everytime you turn around, Paycom is developing something new. Innovation is their middle name! And could we please give our client rep, \[sensitive content hidden\], a round of applause?! She is like a dog with a bone and chews on an issue until there is nothing left to chew on.

### "User-Friendly Platform with Excellent Customer Support!"

July 23, 2026

4.0

Overall, I've really enjoyed using Paycom. While there are a few minor enhancements I've shared with the Paycom team, my overall experience has been very positive. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, even for someone who has never used Paycom before. One feature I especially appreciate is the "I Want" menu, which makes it simple to find what you're looking for and has been incredibly helpful as someone who was new to the system.

Pros

I've had a great experience with the customer service team. They're always responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We also really like the new Paycom layout—it's visually appealing, modern, and much easier to navigate, making the overall user experience even better.

Cons

There are a few areas that could use some fine-tuning, especially within Payroll. One improvement I'd like to see is the ability to remove a single data file without having to restart the entire payroll process. That would make troubleshooting and correcting issues much more efficient.

### "Outdated interface, although learnable. "

August 5, 2026

3.0

Overall, when I had issues with Paycom, the customer support team was always available and quick to resolve my problems. Despite this positive, it would be nice to not have to call them in the first place.

Pros

Paycom was easy to use and to learn as a solo HR employee at a 100 person company (previous role). I was able to learn the functions with minimal training and ample customer support.

Cons

The interface was clunky and felt dated. In more recent roles I was able to work with competing HRIS brands that had much more modern and user friendly interfaces. Paycom was easy to learn as an HR person as I knew what to expect, but employees needed help using the features.

Overall, Paycom is a solid, comprehensive platform. There is definitely a learning curve and some frustration when dealing with the back-end setup, but once the system is configured properly, things run smoothly and it works exactly as it's supposed to.

Pros

The employee self-service side of Paycom is fantastic. It is incredibly easy to navigate, and our team loves having all of their payroll and HR information readily available in one place. On the client side, I regularly used the expense management feature to track and add our company credit card expenses, which streamlined our process. As a supervisor of the payroll team, I also found the day-to-day payroll functionality and brief HR features we utilized to be very reliable once fully operational.

Cons

Some of the back-end features and initial configurations are quite complex and difficult to set up properly on your own. We frequently needed a lot of hands-on assistance from Paycom’s support team to get everything configured correctly.

### "Helpful System with Room for More Proactive Updates"

July 8, 2026

4.0

Overall, my experience with Paycom has been good. The platform is visually clean, easy to navigate, and helpful for employees managing their own information. While there are occasional challenges with updates and changes to the system, the support team and overall functionality make it a useful tool for HR and employee self-service.

Pros

What I like most about Paycom is the overall layout, aesthetics, and ease of navigation. The system is generally user-friendly, especially from the employee side, and it makes it easy for employees to access what they need. I also appreciate having a dedicated support contact/team to reach out to when questions come up.

Cons

My least favorite part about Paycom is probably the frequent updates. I appreciate that Paycom is continuing to improve the system, but the rollouts happen with little notice, which can make it challenging to keep up from an HR/admin perspective.

### "Paycom compares to other providers - there's good and bad!"

June 24, 2026

4.0

It started out rough. 90% of the training time given to us was for payroll with little left over for HR. That meant we had to learn Applicant Tracking, position seats, and other HR related functions on our own. We've gradually worked out most of the bugs with Paycom and find communication with them is fairly consistent.

Pros

1\. Having an integrated timesheet program built into Paycom is a great advantage for our organization. 2. Being able to post open jobs on Paycom and recruit through LinkedIn and Indeed without doing extra work or paying extra fees saves us money. 3. Paycom usually works great on our employees' mobile devices and they find the new I Want feature easy to use for most inquiries.

Cons

1\. Some technical issues never get resolved. 2. Just when the rep gets to know you and help you with your issues they get promoted and we get a new rep. 3. We get excited about a new service or option and find everything costs extra but when it doesn't work the cost is not reduced.

### "Fantastic HRIS! "

June 24, 2026

4.0

Overall, I am satisfied with using Paycom. I have used other HRIS and by far, the customer support and workshop is what sells me. It's easier to provide feedback on features and have a walkthrough of the product.

Pros

I love the customer support and team collaboration! We always are excited to have Caleb, our Account executive come over to have workshops with us when we have new ideas or modules to roll out. The workshop- incredible! Makes using Paycom a lot easier and simple to understand!

Cons

Some of the updates are not rolled out well. I often wonder what made them come up with certain updates with there are times when a module or section did not need to be "fixed". Another small thing is that their communciation about these updates are not ideal. They communicate with webinars that talk about the updates but they don't provide a easier playbook anymore to review it. Unfortunately, not everyone has the time to watch the webinars.

### "Customer Service"

July 8, 2026

5.0

Very good! I have a great personal rep and account manager who help keep our account on track. We have help whenever we need it.

Pros

User Friendly, easy to understand and learn. Mistakes are easy to fix as well. You always have a team member able to assist you.

Cons

I wish more of the forms tied out together without using PAF. I think more things could be a little stremlined easier
