Overall Satisfaction with Paychex Flex

Paychex Flex is being used at my company as a time keeping product, time off tracking and payroll payment and distribution.
  • Time clock tracking and importing into payroll
  • Time off tracking
  • Payroll from beginning to end.
  • GL Ledger import
  • While Customer Service is excellent, sometimes things fall thru the cracks.
  • Easier product training (training modules that could be done on employee's own time).
  • Better ease and transition into other Paychex Flex departments from Customer Service.
  • We do not use our HR module at all. Easier training is necessary.
  • More and more information must be handled done by administration and employees. This is not always efficient for us.
  • Easier training across the board. Training modules that can be done on our own time.
  • Updated training instructions.
They do offer a lot of help. However, in a busy workday, it's one more thing. Paychex Flex can do this for you however everything comes at a cost, and when you are trying to make a budget, it can get costly.
