Paycom's platform is flexible enough to handle our various shifts and the wide variety of positions in our organization. They can customize accruals and benefit administration to handle unique time off and benefit offerings.

I often call in for support and am always answered by a person willing to jump in and help me even if my dedicated specialist is not available at the moment. In addition, they follow-up to emails I send with SOPs and instructions for me to remember in the future.

Paycom is very well suited for your entire HR and Payroll processes. Changes that are made to benefits are seamlessly transferred to payroll so only one entry is necessary, rather than two which can lead to data entry errors. Onboarding and reduction in paper processes are probably some of the things I like most about the Paycom platform. Being able to focus on more critical issues rather than shuffling paper is a huge advantage to using Paycom. It helps us reduce our paper costs, thus helping our company be greener in nature.

We have 25 employees and the payroll process is manageable currently. I could see the ease of use more challenging as the company exceeds 50 employees, especially with hourly employees who clock in.

Paycom is suited for all Companies over 10 employees, I had a really great experience with the implementation team, and love how everything that I was sold on actually works really well, and you can customize everything. Time off requests module is excellent, benefits administration is so easy to administer, performance reviews were a breeze, payroll is seamless. I just love everything about Paycom. The team is super helpful and always there for any issues or questions.

Our designated Payroll Rep visits often to discuss any issues, tell us about any new products we may be interested in, and have Paycom Learning sessions to help us utilize all of Paycom's functionality. The documents and checklists I find to be very confusing.

Paycom is very robust in itself as it offers pretty much every aspect of HR & Payroll related task. The system within itself allows you to customize and change things related to your business needs at the time. The system is great and easy to use once you get started. It has definitely changed our overall operation

Paycom (Perry Watson) has been the most reliable one-on-one person that I, in 33 years, have ever had to work with. Paycom's platform is great, user-friendly, and easy to explain to employees who are not tech-savvy. Employees love the part where they get to see their check and approve it before they ever receive it. Our company is very different, and Paycom has helped me build a system where it is going to save time and money going forward.

Paycom is essential in the onboarding process. Being able to send onboarding via email allows new hires to fill out their onboarding documents on their phone rather than having to come in for hard copies of documents. It also has a great self-service ability for employees once they are logged in. The website does have a ton of functions and info so it can be difficult to navigate at times, especially as a new user.

When we run payroll we love that Beti puts more responsibility on employees to review their timecard and approve their checks, thus making less likely for errors when we do run payroll.
I do not like that when we make a small change for an employee on on of their forms it lowers our employee usage score.

Overall, the implementation was a huge success. The teamwork and collaboration along the process of building and customizing the capabilities were of high-caliber. The implementation team that includes Jaco, Jeff and Anna Melaragni have been impressive; they are highly responsive and knowledgeable.

Overall, I have enjoyed making the switch to Paycom for onboarding and payroll needs. It has performed very well given the rough nature of theatre and the way we go about paying certain groups of employees. Theatre is very different than a cut and dry hourly and salary business, instead we have many pay rates and scales that make it difficult for payroll systems to keep up or be useful but with the help of the implementation team we found ways it has worked better for our company. The reporting is phenomenal and very customizable, which was a huge improvement from our last payroll program.

Paycom has helped automate our payroll process. They were able to set up for earnings to automatically calculate which is something we were lacking in our previous system. The BETI has also been great. I was worried employees would not utilize BETI but I am happy to report that we have had 70% approval rates or more each payroll.

I think Paycom is well suited for most organizations, especially where you have a lot of employees who have to clock in/out a lot. The ease of submitting Punch Change Requests and ensuring timecards are correct have been a huge change for our organization and one that has improved our timekeeping.

Paycom is easy to clock in on an app or your PC. We also provide kiosks for employees that don't carry a smart phone. Employees do have to provide an e-mail address because most communication is done through e-mail. You do need managers that are committed to meeting deadlines. Part of our business is a food & beverage operation. The mangers have to input employee sales so the software can calculate the claimed tips per the IRS GITCA agreement. Once that is done the employees get an email to review their checks and approve. As long as that happens within two days we have no problems meeting the processing deadlines.

When we moved over from manual processes, the team at Paycom took diligent actions to verify that everything was set up correctly as we moved toward our merger. They reviewed reports several times as well as discussed with myself to ensure we were moving in the correct direction.

Paycom has a wide range of reports that we can access that are useful to upper management and accounting. It give the employees more access to their accounts so they can make changes, employees are able to enroll in benefits right off the Paycom App, view items and keep up with reviews, disciplinary actions and much much more.

In my experience, Paycom does a nice job building and implementing your new system with your team and line staff. They have dedicated staff to work with you on a weekly basis and field the questions you have. They stay with you past your first couple payrolls and continue to train and troubleshoot with you.
