Overall Satisfaction with Paychex Flex

We use Paychex Flex across the whole organization. Our employees use it to access their pay stubs, performance reviews, company updates, and to change any tax information they would like. We use it as a company for payroll and HR services. It has made it convenient to access all of payroll and HR in one place.
  • Custom payroll options.
  • Performance reviews for employees.
  • Customer service takes awhile to get an issue resolved.
  • General Ledger department is not up to par.
  • We have saved some time when it comes to onboarding employees.
  • Saved time when performing payroll, as we were able to add in custom calculations for union rates.
Some of the departments are fantastic (time & attendance, HR) and others are lacking (General, payroll, General Ledger).

No

Paychex overall is a great program and has a lot of features that really help our business stay organized and on top of things. However, we have ran into multiple bugs ever since starting with Paychex. The General Ledger department is our biggest complaint. When trying to sync with our accounting software it can take anywhere from a week to a month to get the issue resolved.
