103 citations from LLM engines

According to TrustRadius reviews, Paycom's employee self-service features and mobile app are highly valued for giving employees direct ownership of their HR and payroll data. Reviewers frequently praise the ability for employees to update their own personal information, such as direct deposit details and tax withholding, which reduces the administrative workload for HR and improves data accuracy. The mobile app is described as user-friendly and intuitive, even for less tech-savvy users, allowing them to manage time, approve payroll, and access benefits information from anywhere. This direct access empowers employees, provides greater transparency into payroll, and streamlines processes like onboarding and open enrollment, all within a single, centralized platform.

Employee Control Over Personal Data

Reviewers highlight that employees can directly manage their own personal and financial information, such as addresses, phone numbers, direct deposit details, and tax withholding. This reduces the administrative burden on HR, improves data accuracy by preventing typos, and puts the responsibility on the employee.

“The fact that employees can take care of the minor things that they can do that historically they have to come to HR and our HR assistant would have to do it, but the small things—changing phone numbers, your bank account stuff—all that's smooth.”

“Previous processes (Manual across 3 systems and physical files/ADP) required clicking through multiple places to update an employee's data. This left ample room for human error, whether in forgetting a step or a location that required updating. With Paycom, most changes can be made by the employee and do not require employer input. Take and address change. Instead of needing to update Benefits, Payroll, and HR independently, the employee logs in to their employee portal, enters the new data, and the changes are automatically pushed system-wide. This reduces the manual effort by staff members, and puts the responsibility and potential for errors onto the employee.”

“Having our employees input their own data ensures that data is accurate and HR doesn't have to worry about typos.”

“For example, employees can update their direct deposit information, tax details, and home address on their own, and those changes automatically flow into the payroll system. That's a huge benefit because it reduces the administrative burden on our team. I can't imagine how much additional work we'd have if those updates had to be handled manually.”

The platform is described as intuitive and easy to navigate. According to reviewers, the mobile app is particularly valuable, allowing employees, including those in the field or who are less tech-savvy, to manage their time, request time off, and access HR information from their phones.

“Well, I feel like we kind of touched on this a little bit, but again, just makes it a lot more streamlined, less questions. The usability of it is so easy for our employees, and since we're in the HVAC industry, a lot of our employees are older, maybe not as tech savvy. So to have all these different platforms, it just overwhelms them a lot. So to have one platform that they can go to, they have their login and password, they have everything that they need, and it's just so easy, especially on the app, like having the mobile version, they're always on their phones, they're out in the field, they're not on, most of them don't even have laptops, they have tablets. So just to have the app and for it to be so easily accessible for them, it was game changer, honestly for us, from what I've seen so far, and I know it's only going to get better as we start implementing everything that we have in there.”
