Using Paychex Flex

  • The dashboard.
  • Downloading the GL into Sage accounting software is much better now that they changed the process.
  • The people list to the right on the dashboard. I just need to use it more to understand it.

Paychex Flex Reliability

It is very easy to access from anywhere.
It is always available, even after business hours.
All has worked well, no complaints.

Integrating Paychex Flex

Only because of the time involved to get to the last screen to download the weekly payroll into our general ledger. I feel as if there should be fewer steps.
At first, it was hard to get a hold of someone to help. Finally I was contacted, and then after that, all went well. The employee that did help, made sure I was taken care of.
