We use Paycom for onboarding, Learning courses, Benefits, and Expenses. It streamlines our processes better, mitigates manual work, and houses action items all in one platform as opposed to numerous.

We use it for payroll and employee data management. As well as expense management. We are a small non-profit, so our resources are limited, especially personnel and HR expertise. Paycom provides us that extra employee and expertise that we need to get important HR items taken care of in a quick and efficient way. They also help ensure we are compliant in some important areas like COBRA and various HR laws as they pass. I love having all my HR files stored in one area and knowing they're secure. It's also nice given our Hybrid work environment now. I can work from anywhere and access all my employee data and info.

We use Paycom to help with payroll and human resources. We did everything manually and by switching to Paycom, it has saved us so much time and manpower. It also makes it much easier for us by not having to track down time cards from employees or have to make changes to employee files (addresses, phone numbers, tax info) as they have access to it in the app at all times!

We use Paycom for payroll, reimbursements, and clocking in and out for the day. Paycom makes it easy for people who are new to their admin role(s), the employees, and literally anyone else in a company to use. Employees set up their own account for their taxes, pay check method (physical check, direct deposit, etc.), clocking in and tracking their hours and income... and from an admin role makes it simple to manage without taking days to manage and run payroll.
We have absolutely loved using their services and their team! We have been using them only for a few months now, but already we won't ever look back. Not only are they professionally fun, thorough, and great in their training and teaching, but they have proven very helpful in some large company transitions and have helped us move forward correctly and efficiently. Their system is very easy and straight forward to use, and everyone in the company has enjoyed how smooth and simple it is! I highly recommend Paycom to any company - big or small! They really are amazing.

We use Paycom for our company and recently switched over from another payroll company. We had an excellent experience with the implementation team. They were very attentive and responsive. They were there whenever we had questions or concerns. Now we have a rep assigned who is not as responsive when it comes to clarification or issues we have within Paycom. This would be the only issue I would say we have had so far with Paycom. We wish our now assigned rep was more responsive.

Paycom as a platform is very intuitive to use. This ease of use equates to a better learning curve for the product. The employees are digitally handheld through the process, allowing our management team more time to focus on operations, finances, and development. Our focus was on reporting, talent acquisition and management, and Staff engagement. Our staff needed to take more ownership in their own payroll process and responsibility for time management. Paycom offered a solution to all of this and more for an annual cost savings in excess of $25,000 vs. the past process. Excellent for training and value!

I have implemented Paycom twice! The platform is easy to use, is one database, and is flexible enough to meet our needs without "special programming" which can really alter the true functionality of the system. It has allowed us to better communicate with employees, streamlined our payroll and recruiting functions and let employees have more transparency into their pay each payroll week!

I am responsible for all of our onboarding with new hires. I utilize the applicant tracking system everyday. I like the system a lot I just wish we had a demo profile to test out certain things. Sometimes when I am looking for a specific person it pulls up other people with different last names first. Other than that, everything else is easy to use and easy to understand.

I was looking for a Payroll company that could handle very specific needs for our Compnay for payroll, clocking in and attendance.
When I came across Paycom I found that there was no scenario or task I put in front of them that they were not able to accommodate and was specific for our Compnay. I chose Paycom for the innovation of our employees being able to punch in and out on their mobile devices. This has also helped streamline the processing of payroll and has decreased the amount of payroll errors by 99%. It is also great that employees are able to request time off and it gets in front of scheduling for a quicker response and it helps scheduling jobs with the proper amount of employees on crew. We are going on just over a year and the Paycom systems are updated regularly with new features for both employees and employer. Along the way whenever an issue has come up, Paycom client services has gone above and beyond to help get the right answers and corrections to any issues. I look forward to a long relationship with Paycom and am excited to see the new innovations that come.

Our Agency uses Paycom for both payroll and our HRIS. Paycom has a great mobile app that our employees love! Employees can easily allocate hours to different cost centers on a daily basis - no more manual allocations. Paycom holds employees more accountable for their clock in/clock out punches and initiating a correction. Paycom has a great onboarding module that takes work off of the HR department and provides the documentation needed for employment. The performance review module is very automated and easy for all levels of employees to use.

We use Paycom for our HR platform. This includes payroll, training, document housing, I-9s, performance reviews, and benefits. All of our employees use Paycom report time. Our warehouse employees use a kiosk attached to Paycom for their punch clock. We also use Paycom to track our attendance points for our attendance policy. Our recruiting, from posting a job to applicant tracking, to job offers and onboarding processes runs through Paycom. Because this tool addresses all aspects of HR, it allows us to utilize one product and keep all of our information in one place.

We use Paycom for time management, time-off requests and payroll. Paycom has been great for helping employees record their time accurately, calculating their pay efficiently and keeping the employee informed of their own paycheck. This product has taken away the need for manually calculating mileage, time worked and overtime. We use Paycom for 80+ employees so we have a wide range of employees and skill level with technology. All of our employees understand the system and how to use it so that they get paid correctly each payroll. Managers can view their employees time-off requests, approve their timecards and it is much more efficient.

We use Paycom for our weekly payroll for employees and contractors. Prior to using Paycom we were using a rather well know company online to do our payroll and we were having many problems. Reaching out to customer service was very difficult and once we reached an actual person, we could never get back in touch with the same person to follow up on problems.

We've been a client of Paycom since 2002 and they have been a blessing to us over the years! We work on TV Broadcast towers all over the US and have employees from all over the country, who work in multiple states each year. Paycom makes it easy for us to track time through their Timekeeping system and allocate labor, per diem, mileage, etc to various States, Job #'s, Workers Comp Codes, and Tax Profiles. Their canned reports and report writers are amazing! We are easily able to do job cost imports into our accounting system making job costing a breeze! We have watched Paycom evolve over the years into the amazing product that you see today! They're constantly listening to the needs of their customers and are always open to hear ideas and suggestions that companies may have! Their development team is amazing! We would definitely recommend Paycom to anyone looking for a Payroll, Timekeeping, and HR solution!
