I never ran into issues while processing and there was never any frustration on my end as a user. The system calculated weighted overtime properly which here in California is a huge issue.

Huge Paycom Advocate!

Because it has everything that we need and as we grow, we are learning how robust Paycom can actually be but we need to be willing to spend the money. It's not expensive but we, as a company, are not used to spending that much on a system for HR and payroll.

Many unresolved issues, especially in U.S. Territories.

The initial experience with Paycom was so bad that we decided we won't be renewing anything with them and will be terminating our business relationship mid year. Issues with the implementation, the support we receive from the implementation team and the production team has been just awful and it just doesn't meet our expectations nor what we were pitched during the sales meetings.

Paycom Rocks!
