It’s way easier than other HR tools. It’s perfect for middle size company [with] 100-500 employees. It requires very [little] effort to perform all tasks. For salary calculation, it sometimes got stuck in the monthly calculation. Other than that it’s all perfect. It decreases a lot of time and allows us to manage other operations. So I would always recommend it over any other software.

I think especially for [...]'s, it is as close to the ideal platform as you can get. We are a unique employer as we have staff with multiple jobs, at multiple branches and departments and have struggled with a platform that makes managing that easy. Paycom allows us to drill down specific job access by employee and has really made a lot of our processes easier.

Pros
BerniePortal
  • Easy to compare current and past elections
  • Centralizes all the documents relevant to benefit plans
  • Site layout is minimal and easy to navigate

Paycom
  • Paycom will find a solution. Our attendance tracking isn't simple, but Paycom found a way to integrate our unique process into their design.
  • Government and compliance tracking is integrated with the entire system. You can track all ACA, FMLA, Workplace Injuries, COBRA, Unemployment, Training, and more in the same place that you track payroll and benefits. The entire system flows together seamlessly. We were able to combine 3 other programs into one when we switched to Paycom.
  • Employees appreciate the Paycom app. They can complete onboarding, trainings, benefit enrollment, check PTO balances, request PTO, view their timecards and pay history all in one place. They especially enjoy the ability to clock in/out on their mobile devices.

Cons
BerniePortal
  • It needs little improvement in the leave management system. Employees need to add manually in order to request a leave.
  • It’s interface is bit tricky.
  • Attendance system is perfect but need some changes in its interface.

  • GL set up can be clunky until you understand how it works.
  • Be able to edit document types. I made an entire document then realized I attached it incorrectly and had to start over.
  • Advanced Report Writer would be nice to combine multiple areas into one report easily.

We've made the mistake of moving away from Paycom to a PEO which had made a lot of promises, that they could not keep. Less than a year after that transition, we returned to Paycom and are happier than ever.

Usability

Paycom
The system is very user friendly. Once you navigate where your information is stored under the forms you are golden. While the training amplified my capabilities and knowledge, I could have jumped into the system without and training and managed just fine. This probably one of my favorite parts about Paycom!

Our TSR has been wonderful to work with. Every step of the
way he was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. I knew I could
reach him at any time (day or night) and he would be available to assist.
Implementing a new HRIS system is obviously a huge task and I contribute all
our success to our rep Kurt! Of course, with any implementation, there were
bumps along the way and issues. But I always knew we would work as a team to
get those issues figured out. Working in the Paycom system has been smooth and
easy to learn and I enjoy the employee self-service interface. Our managers
have had positive things to say and are all excited about the changes we have
been able to make to our organization due to Paycom being implemented.

All the online training modules were short and straight to the point. Every module teach you how to use the system. If there is one thing they know how to do is training. We did implementation during the pandemic so all had to be done online or via zoom meetings.

Not at all satisfied it was a nightmare we spent over 8 months with the implementation team having issues after issues all related to the Puerto Rico regulations (half my employees are in Puerto Rico) and at the end we were moved over from the implementation team to the production team without all the issues being resolved

My organization uses ADP Workforce and Javelo in addition to BerniePortal for other aspects of resource management such as payroll, performance reviews, etc. BerniePortal stood out as our choice of platform for benefits enrollment due to its ease of use and ability to compare plans during the election process.

Paycom stacks up well overall against other providers in the same realm. There are areas of improvement that other companies are handling better, but overall, they are very similar. Paycom could improve on two major components: intersystem communication and ATS. Betti, however, is a LARGE selling point as Paycom is currently the only provider offering anything like it.

BerniePortal
  • It increases team efficiency.

Paycom
  • Can help simplify and automate processes such as benefits enrollment and payroll, leading to reduced time spent on manual tasks.
  • Automating payroll tasks and reducing off-cycle checks can lead to significant savings.
  • Features like E-Verify can help streamline onboarding and ensure compliance.
  • Over-complex navigation due to extensive features can be tedious, and the model's learning curve can reduce efficiency at times.
  • Implementation complexity deters ease of usability.
