For me, PayCom and their agents are a God Send!! The agents are always helpful, know what I'm going through and are able to walk me through resolutions without me feeling like a crazy person. I know I may sound that way when I first call in, but they are like my therapists, and I can breathe a sigh of relief after I talk with them. Now, this doesn't often happen because I've learned a lot about PayCom over the past couple of years. But when it does, it's earth-shattering for me. LOL.

Paycom has been an essential tool for our organization, helping to simplify tasks such as payroll and employee benefits. Throughout learning these processes, Paycom has been available 100% of the time for any hands-on assistance. I have also been able to utilize some of their online webinars that serve as a guide for almost every aspect of Paycom. I have learned so much in a relatively short period of time that has allowed me to simplify managing employees and their needs, submitting flawless payroll, and smoothly enrolling our employees in their benefits.

I use Paycom to its fullest. We currently are using the Beti Payroll System in Paycom. It has been such a great experience moving to Paycom with all that it has. Payroll has become so much easier and takes less time. I love how you can created special reports to my liking or what other managers want to see. Paycom has a great Audit Report and also Validation before sending my weekly and Biweekly Payroll. I have roughly 70 Union Employees that require multiple hourly rates bases on our Union Contract. Paycom is able to adjust to our Union Contracts. When you need extra help our dedicated Paycom Specialist is only an email away. You also can call and get the next available Specialist to help you.
When deciding on your next Payroll Program please consider Paycom!

Paycom is an employee interactive HRIS System that is used to manage personnel upon the prospective employee's job application until termination and or retirement. We manage time recording and attendance, payroll, employee benefits, documentation of training programs and general communications, as well as distribution of the employee manual, new policies, and procedures. So, essentially, all things that are employee related.

We use Paycom for payroll and HR services, including ACA, EEO1 Reporting, Benefits and more. Basically the only product we are not using is talent acquisition and surveys. We run 32 separate payrolls every two weeks to get all of our employees paid correctly in their respective entities and run open enrollment through the system. We have 5 payroll and benefits contacts that individually use the system for different purposes.

Shepherd uses Paycom as its main HR/PR platform, including ATS. I am the lone payroll administrator for a 5-location, 320-employee company. I handle all payroll processing and benefits. Paycom allows employees access to request time off and manage their personal information through the app. Managers also have access to their employees through Manager On The Go.

I use Paycom to process payroll for hourly and salary employees on a bi-weekly basis. The HR department utilizes the software for onboarding as well. We have recently mapped our G/L and are excited to start utilizing that aspect of the software as well. Our employees use the software for timekeeping, pay stubs, and HR issues.

This is an all-encompassing system that empowers employees to make changes and be responsible for their own information. The system is robust in its capabilities in every capacity we have tried it out on! The report writer is super handy! And using the talent management piece is the best decision we've ever made!

Paycom is our current HR/Payroll platform. It helps us manage our employees and process payroll. The app helps us communicate with our employees very efficiently. It allows us to push more of the responsibility to the employee for their benefits management and payroll changes. It also allows them to utilize the time-keeping functions through the app.

We use Paycom to process weekly payrolls, track time, track earnings, and run a variety of reports for various internal and external entities. Paycom does the taxes, and we set up an automatic drawdown to pay the weekly payrolls, so it makes the weekly process smooth and easy. I only know the payroll functions, but we also use it for new hires, and benefits use it for a variety of functions as well. I like Paycom because its accurate, flexible, and reliable.
