By automating processes Managers are able to work more efficiently without HR intervention and training. This results in more time saved from an HR perspective to focus on other areas in the field.

Having the iPhone and Android versions of the app on our employees phones has made a world of difference in having them take control of their benefits and payroll. They can easily make changes to their address, W-4, direct deposits, benefit qualifying events and view all the documents that they have signed all in one easily accessible application at their fingertips.

It's nice for managers to be able to approve time off and expenses easily. They can also access employee data and information easily. This prevents our HR team from having to get that information to supervisors. Employees can also access the directory, which is nice to prevent the need for distributing that information in other ways.

By providing employees with the tools to make their own time keeping updates, it is saving all our leadership team members time and ultimately money. Paycheck previews prior to pay dates is also a huge advantage, to correcting problems before they arise.

Management can look up their own employee's information instead of calling HR all the time. I will be teaching them more as we go along.

As an administrator we have been able to use paycom to easily track and manage attendance, payroll, pto requests, fmla and other options.
Employees have been able to request, submit and track their own attendance, approve their time cards, request time off and use fmla when needed. As well as signing documents and acknowledge information shared.

In this information age, everyone wants access to their information 24/7. Paycom has allowed our employees to better manage and control their own payroll and benefits data and to see how they are spending their salary dollars. It has also helped us gain a better handle on salary distribution and benefits allocation.

Yes, Paycom has enabled our leaders and employees to better manage their own HR information. It's one of the best reasons to get the system. I monitor the Direct Data Exchange and our employee data usage has consistently scored over 97% for 11 months over the past year. Our organization is increasing becoming self sufficient.

Paycom helps our managers to keep up with any request that they are sent that used to be paper on their desk prior to Paycom. Paycom helps all of our employees to feel like they have control of their HR info and the ability to make changes without even being at work.

Paycom has allowed our departments to delegate this work of managing time off matters to one single person in each department - this eliminates errors and redundancy. Employees are better at updating their own payroll tax information and personnel changes - there is no longer a need to email four people to ensure it's been updated - a big win for our company.

Managers are now able to see their employees' bank of time off - I no longer have to keep monthly reports on the workforce.
Employees can manage their own direct deposit changes and benefit changes. They complete it themselves on the portal. This saves me time and it eliminates the possibility that I may make a human error.

The only good thing about Paycom is that the web access and the mobile access interfaces look exactly the same and that employees for the most part can access, set, update, and change their information and settings on their own. They can also do that with their direct deposit information and federal and state tax forms.
