Any business with more than 5 employees can take advantage of Paychex flex.

Calculate payroll hours and submit them for processing to the payroll specialist. Assign and monitor vacation time, Manage 401K portal. Assign permission roles to a user. Set up/remove users. Submit by weekly payroll to Paychex. Submit reports 5500 to IRS when needed. Paycheck stubs are posted to the employee portal which saves lots of papers to print. Quarterly payroll filing reports are available when needed. They even have documents for your PPP loan forgiveness, and CARESS monies received.

Evaluating Paychex Flex and Competitors
Yes - We were using Paycor. It was not an easy software to use. The hardest part was editing payroll hours or correcting missed punches. There were lots of steps to go through to get to your endpoint. It was very time-consuming and for a Manager who has more medical background and less HR background some of the features were very hard to maneuver.

Make sure it is easy software to use. Editing payroll hours or correcting missed punches is a point and click. Fewer steps to go through to get to your endpoint. Less time-consuming for a Manager who has a more medical background and is easy to understand and able to use it. And of course, it is affordable and has all the basic features you need.
