Overall Satisfaction with Paycom

We use Paycom for payroll direct deposit services, and we're implementing it for our franchise locations as we expand nationwide. Their product should address the timely task of processing payroll manually, however, the last two [what I feel have been] daunting and exhausting months [that] we've dealt with them they've removed auto-debit, and [in my experience] require the following to process payroll: -Wire transfer of the funds (Must complete one every week and yes you're required to eat the wire fee of $35 each time) -Proof of funds after the wire is submitted (They require a screenshot that you actually have money in the account) -Ask you to submit this wire transfer 2 days prior to the check date before 2:00 pm MTN time. However, they cannot guarantee 24 hour transfer times, which then they cancel your payroll and sell you on a same-day wire transfer if they don't receive your transfer before 2 pm. (They charge $500 for same-day transfers). I'm not saying they're all bad, the customer onboarding team was smooth, but [in my opinion] it ends there. If you want exceptional customer support and seamless payroll, [I believe you should] look elsewhere.
  • Onboarding
  • User interface
  • Customer support
  • Hands off operations
  • Seamless processing
  • Expensive late fees
  • [In my experience] delayed payroll to our staff
  • Employees quitting
I initially thought Paycom was mountains ahead of Paycor when it came to direct deposit software. But again that was just the onboarding phase. They're quick to sell you, but once you're in [it feels like] you're [the] last priority. [I believe] Paycom doesn't take accountability and traps employers [into paying] late fees by giving [an] unrealistic processing period. Paycor had great customer service, but [its] user interface was a little complex. And if they required a wire transfer for a rush they comped the late fee for the issues that occurred. Now that I've used both considerably, I can confidently say [in my opinion] Paycom is mountains and leaps behind Paycor in the sense of customer success, accountability, and compassion towards their customers.
