Overall Satisfaction with Paychex Flex

Paychex Flex is currently used for employee hours. This system helps greatly when gathering employee sick and vacation times taken and still available.
  • Automatically enters times into and out of Departments, production & break
  • Tracks sick and vacation days, as they become available.
  • I cannot think of one thing that is not easily available, if there were, the great support team can get you an answer in moments, walking you through every step.
  • Remaining sick and vacation days earned, but not taken.
  • Greatly improved employee payroll, the end of manually tracking employees for time-off, available time off for vacation, sick days, etc., per employee, saves so much time than trudging through the files.
  • Tracking time earned for employees can be set to your own company's individual process.
  • If your employee payroll is based on overtime over 40 hours per week, but you're on a bi-weekly payroll schedule, NO PROBLEM. Just enter your requirements and the system does the rest for you. You can set it up for O.T. after 40 hours per week, or on a per-day basis, O.T. after 8 hours a day, NO PROBLEM
Positively - Reviewing time worked vs. payroll increases per employee, partially based on time worked and new abilities.
I have never had a bad experience with any of the support team members. Anyone I have spoken to has helped me complete my goal swiftly and with kindness! Anytime there is a question, Paychex will connect you with one of their experts to give you immediate assistance.
There is nothing worse than having to do your payroll based upon an employees hand written account of their times. It is so easy just to call in employee hours and let a professional take care of the rest. This includes payroll checks being delivered on time, all the time.

I rate it a 10 because I have never had any question, subject, or topic that the support team couldn't help me through.
This system is so easy to use, you can pull your own reports when you need them, or the team is very happy to assist you. if you need to make any additions or deletions or changes, everything is just a click away. This is a streamlined operation.

It is very convenient for keeping up with employee addresses on file.
