Netchex has gained popularity among users for its payroll services and robust HR support functions. Users have found the excel spreadsheets provided by Netchex to be highly efficient and user-friendly. While some users have experienced longer response times when seeking help, the company has been actively working on improving their response time, which has shown positive results in recent weeks.

Netchex is commonly used as an HRIS and payroll vendor, allowing users to easily track paid time off, benefits, and traditional payroll functions. Many users have successfully resolved tax reporting issues with the help of Netchex. The platform is widely adopted across organizations for payroll and time management, simplifying the payroll process and increasing efficiency.

The ease of use of Netchex has led users to extend its functionality by adding performance management features to track employee training, time-off, and overall performance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of integration with other programs like Dealertrack to enhance communication between systems.

While some users have expressed the need for improved support from Netchex, including extended availability beyond regular business hours, many others who switched from Paychex have reported higher satisfaction levels with Netchex. They appreciate the faster response times and access to a dedicated group of people for payroll assistance.

  • Giving control to the company to determine how much is handed over to the employee to be accountable for.
  • Having an interface for storing and viewing employee documents such as licenses, emergency contact, correctives, and reviews outside of their physical file.
  • Providing means for employees to easily clock in and out as well as monitor their time.
  • I have noticed on the Time and Attendance Report some employees are not included despite when checking their personal accounts, the timecard does show they did clock in.

  • Simply support questions are done really well.
  • Support needs to be available more times than just normal business hours.
  • Tax support is basically non-existent. This seems that it should be TOP NOTCH.
  • Some of the functionality of the Netchex program could be tweaked. It is not a keyboard friendly program at all. Must mouse your way through. When the program times out, it takes 2 to 3 screens before it really logs you out.
  • When submitting from Netchex to Dealertrack, it would be nice to show the payroll # or payroll date that has been submitted. Currently once you hit submit, the screen reverts back to the last successful payroll submit. This process is just a bit confusing, especially for new users.

  • Online is very user friendly for the user and the account manager
  • They were able to deduct our HSA and deposit it into our HSA accounts. Paychex could never figure that out.
  • I do not like the fact that I have to click ok on that little box that pops up every time I do something. Just make it do you want to save...ok and do you want to submit payroll to Netchex...ok

  • Moves employees from various statuses seamlessly (hiring, onboarding, training, active)
  • Customer Service - also willing to chat or get on a video conference to help with any questions
  • Their training is very thorough and sets you up well for how to best use the product for your needs.
  • The product is expensive, especially if you are a large employer with a lot of employees.
  • Some of the reports can be difficult to manipulate to how you may want to use them.

  • A+ Customer Service team that is always ready and available.
  • Quick integration
  • User Friendly
  • New age a cool design and lots of features to choose from.
  • Scheduling I feel still needs a little work, if you use that feature.
  • Open enrollment for benefits management is a little archaic. Needs to be updated bad and has lots of bugs.
  • Timecard system needs to be updated.

  • HRIS
  • Payroll and payroll reporting
  • Electronic onboarding
  • Mobile Friendly!
  • It would be easier for multi company management if you could copy maintenance/set-up templates across companies
  • Employee search filter option on main employee page could be more robust, the function is available, but you have to go to another search screen
  • When giving access to associates, the link is only good for 24 hours, sometimes that is not enough time for the associate to verify their email and get logged in

  • Customer Service-EXCELLENT and prompt!
  • Communication & Resources-TONS of information and helpful links and videos!
  • Willingness to improve-always taking down suggestions, although they do take a while to come to fruition
  • Benefits - program is not as user-friendly for admin or employee as other HRIS
  • Carrier connections - there are too many issues with the third party
  • Pricing - so many new features that aren't included with the current price, it can be difficult to have your company understand the need for a product due to the additional cost

  • My Netchex Service Team is very responsive and friendly. They are willing and able to spend the amount of time needed on one call to troubleshoot most problems or answer questions.
  • Their recent updates to the employee dashboard have been well-received by our seasonal team. Employees are able to quickly find what they are looking for which has minimized the amount of requests that my team receives regarding questions on pay or updating personal information.
  • Online W-2 forms have been a game-changer for us since moving to Netchex. Our staff tend to move around a lot and most do not get the mailed copy of their W-2. The electronic consent has saved me hours and hours of time.
  • Each summer, I upload 400+ new employees into the Netchex system. There are a few areas of the system that do not have an option to do a bulk update/change for those new staff. One of them is the time & attendance web time-clock assignment. I have to go into each individual employee file and take 3-5 clicks to get their timecard set up.
  • Netbenefits is still hard to navigate as an administrator and an employee. It doesn't have the updated look like the rest of the employee self-service dashboard. It would be great for this to be updated and to also be easier to use for the employee by offering a way for the employee to click on plan documents in the system.

  • Provides an easy to use portal
  • It accommodates all payroll deductions, and is customizable
  • It is configurable by department
  • Offers the ability for individual logins
  • Has the ability to retrieve previous payroll records
  • One step in the login process needs to be corrected
  • The non-working aspect of the login process is easily bypassed, so it doesn't prevent you from gaining access

  • Processing payrolls is easy and convenient. This web based product makes it easy to access and key in payroll data anytime.
  • Customer service is top notch! The whole team goes above and beyond to make sure I have the tools I need each day and answers to questions as they arise.
  • Netchex connects our HR department to our employees beautifully. We can easily direct them to data in their Netchex profile that they may need. We can also post news, articles and documents for them to easily access from their dashboard.
  • We have not found any areas that are difficult to use. Netchex customizes reports for us if they are not found in the formatted reports.
