We are a manufacturing and engineering firm and all of our employees utilize Paycom in some fashion. We have machinists, welders, production technicians, engineers, and support staff that use the system. Employees are able to look at their paychecks, direct deposit, benefits, select benefits, complete personal action forms, and ask HR questions.

Paycom is the most efficient, innovative and trustworthy resource for our payroll and human resource needs. Our most valuable asset are our employees. For a payroll and benefits administrator, Paycom puts customer first in taking care of employees with efficiency and protects our business in the ever-changing world of government regulations and taxes. The employees love Paycom because they have access to their account 24/7 for their own peace of mind as well as great tools such as vacation requests and proof of income verification when they are making exciting life changes such as buying a car or house. Thankfully our payroll taxes, healthcare regulations, and complicated government reporting is all handled by Paycom, providing the assurance that our business is 100% compliant.
