We utilize the entire Paycom platform to administer all human resource and payroll functions. We went from a manual process of recruiting all the way through payroll, even outsourcing several HR/Payroll related functions. Paycom brought it all under one platform to recruit, track applicants, administer benefits, manage the workforce, pay employees and all compliance.

I am the HR Generalist for a company of 300+ that utilizes Paycom on a daily basis for all our HR and Payroll needs. We use almost all of the available modules, including HR, Time Management, and Talent Acquisition. Each of the interfaces of the modules with the others, allowing for a seamless HR and Payroll system. The struggle of remote onboarding for new employees is easily solved with this system by allowing companies to have all the pre-hire documentation completed prior to the first day of employment!

We utilize Paycom's payroll and onboarding features. Paycom's payroll processing is seamless considering we do not utilize their time and attendance. We come from the Staffing Industry where our payroll and billing is unique and requires us to use our own time and attendance platform. We have no issues importing the hours for payroll, the ease of importing large amounts of payroll information using templates has streamlined the payroll process as well. The electronic onboarding has removed all paper documentation, and we enjoy that we have visibility to each employee's HR files right at our fingertips. Everything is clean, seamless, and streamlined. We also never have to worry about downloading the most recent tax forms to provide to our employees, Paycom takes care of this for us as well.

Payroll & Talent management was a nightmare before as none of the systems intergrated, with Paycom everything is under one system. Paycom is very compliance and risk oriented which great as they ensure that you are have limited risk related to HR & Payroll. The onboarding and background features are easy to use and have decreased our onboarding timeline by 60%,

We are using HR, Onboarding, Time Management, Expenses, and Certification tracking. Our business has had multiple systems over the years but never one that could manage each day-to-day activity that we conduct. Our employees are all over the USA working in the field and are managed from different areas. I use the reporting system to help with financials.

We use it for onboarding and payroll services. The product allows us to onboard virtually instead of with paper, which saves time and money for the employer and employees. It also streamlines the payroll process by allowing employees to make their own changes through the self-service platform, make their own time card changes and approvals, and also gives managers a more comprehensive role in payroll and approving their employee's changes and requests.

We have been using Paycom for a few months now and are still learning things in the system. <br><br>Overall, it is easy to navigate. <br><br>A big plus is the onboarding in the system. No longer having to manually enter everyone's information into the payroll system saving time. <br><br>We like that the employees are now responsible for submitting their missed punched and time off requests. <br><br>Also, with the ability to send our employees their check detail for review before finalizing payroll we have been able to make corrections before finalizing the payroll, so they get paid accurately.<br><br>We are in the processes of implementing the scheduling system to help eliminate employees clocking in early and reducing payroll.

It's our payroll system, so we use it daily. We use it to run payroll, post job ads, hire applicants, conduct employee performance reviews, manage employee timecards, employee's can login and update demographic or direct deposit information, manage leaves for employees, employee garnishments, applicant tracking, benefit enrollment, manage COBRA events, and run reports for employee info or payroll.

All things Payroll and Benefits Administration, ensuring that multi-State Tax deduction compliance is handled for all work locations of a hybrid workforce. Talent acquisition, from opening requisitions and managing our workforce and people budget needs, to compliantly onboarding and ensuring employees have a seamless experience on the Paycom platform. Enabling mobile Time & Attendance Management for all users (managers and employees) to approve PTO and paychecks in a timely manner. A fully customized Performance Management process, that finally sit together with a Pay system, thus linking Pay & Performance under one system that drives greater transparency for all colleagues.

In our company, Paycom is used for all aspects of Payroll. We use the ask here section a lot and the workflows. The benefits and garnishments areas are so nice to be able to submit to Paycom and then Paycom will manage them. Approving and sending benefit enrollments is so easy.

I am the administrator of payroll for over 300 employees. I also do much of the HR work, hiring, onboarding, termination etc. With the nature of our business, we have employees coming and going frequently so the hiring never ends! Paycom has helped ease the use for new employees to be hired and complete their onboarding without issues. Our prior onboarding company had a very difficult process and most of the time new hires were reaching out to me directly for help. It was a mess. With Paycom, that hasn't been an issue! I also love the ablility employees have to make changes neccisary to their time and also their direct deposits/personal info. I used to have to do it for each individual but now through Paycom they handle that themselves! The approve my paycheck function is amazing and has helped with mistakes on pay but also been informative so employees can ask questions before payroll is ran if they need. Overall I have enjoyed Paycom

We use Paycom for our payroll and HR. We currently use the time and attendance, payroll, document management, checklists, surveys, and LMS. I have truly enjoyed using Paycom. Payroll went from taking us 3 days to process to 1 day to process. The LMS has helped keep our employees compliant with required training. I love the survey feature to get employee feedback for onboarding, benefit options, and overall satisfaction with the company.

We are a Nationwide Retailer with 53 stores in 26 states. The timecard errors we had in our previous system were cumbersome and challenging. The biggest improvements and uses for us are through the Time and Attendance modules and the Onboarding piece. We were doing everything with paper prior to making this switch. As you can imagine, rolling out a new HRIS to that many different locations could have been a nightmare, but we found the training we received and the ease of use, we have had minimal problems. We love the "Approve My Check" feature and I have found this to be extremely useful in cutting down Payroll errors and issues that would have to be fixed after the fact.

We use Paycom as our payroll manager including time keeping, direct deposit, insurance selections, 401k selections and taxes compliance. Prior to using Paycom we were managing our Payroll in house using manual processes. During our transition to Paycom we realize doing manual processes was not always the most efficient and/or accurate.

I am an HR Director, we use Paycom for recruiting, onboarding, payroll, reports, position changes, reviews...... Paycom seems to have great reporting aspects and is pretty user friendly. We've only been using Paycom for about 2 1/2 months and the more we use it, the more we like it.

We utilize Paycom for our HR and Payroll needs. Prior to using Paycom, every year it had become more difficult maintaining education to the workforce around HR policies and procedures. As we grew, we also experienced more difficulties with onboarding, managing vacations, benefits, and payroll. Paycom's platform has eliminated our risk and sped up the process, which enabled us to continue growing at a rapid pace.

We use Paycom for all aspects of our HR, Payroll and Fiscal operations. Paycom has continued to allow us to move to a paperless system. It is able to keep up with our growth and the different modules allow us to streamline processes and have everything housed in one location. We especially like the Paycom phone app which allows our remote workers and management to continue to use the system wherever they are at in the day.
