Overall Satisfaction with Paychex Flex

We use Paychex Flex as the only source of payroll processing for two divisions of our organization. We have tried to implement the PTO program with limited success. We have had to resort to keeping it manually unfortunately. We tried Paychex Flex's insurance program but that too was disappointing and not a lot of follow through was done once we signed on.
  • Ease of use
  • Easy to read reports
  • Comparable in pricing
  • Agent training
  • Timeliness in responding
  • Follow up on reported problems and corrections
  • Processing time is quick
  • Ability to access online is invaluable
  • Employee access reduces explanations for management
I have not used the reporting
I have not been happy with Paychex Flex in recent years with their support. Even after contacting management, I was never contacted back or was just switched to a new agent. The problems were never addressed or fixed after multiple times of trying to contact them.
