Paycom Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Paycom helps SMBs manage payroll, HR, and time tracking in one platform, with strong adoption in healthcare, nonprofit, and automotive sectors. Its standout benefit is employee-managed payroll, supported by features such as mobile access and direct deposit. Users cite reporting limitations and login friction as drawbacks. The new IWant AI engine adds voice-driven data access for faster decisions.

### Our verdict

Pros

It’s a fairly easy system to use. Except for the reporting. That needs to be easier to build reports.

Cons

The very expensive compared to other systems. I’ve been shopping other vendors and I get way more included in my base pricing for thousands less than what I’m paying for now.

Okay is how I would describe it. Sometimes it is a challenge to get to the end when we questioned for our requests.

Pros

I like the email and phone support from our rep. She provides great service to us and tries her best to help.

Cons

It is not great for healthcare. There are a ton of opportunities especially when it comes to auditing. Our Benefits & Payroll team have to do a lot of overhead to get items to work correctly which is a large concern.

It very easy to sign in and get started. The app was easy to navigate and allowed me to view my timesheets and paystubs very easily.

Pros

Paycom was very easy to use and navigate. It was convenient to use from anywhere on mobile. I could approve my timesheet and correct timestamps while on the go.

Cons

There were several times that the server would be down which made it impossible to get anything done.

Overall we use Paycom on the daily basis, it seems to cover the majority of what we need for our HCM needs.

Pros

The all in one solution makes things easier as I only have to enter an employee one time. It keeps me from being redundant in my work.

Cons

Customer service is hit or miss. While their customer service is great if you get a tenured rep, if you get someone who is not tenured it is a mess trying to get them to understand what you are trying to explain and the issue at hand.

Unfortunately negative all around. The platform ran payroll if everything was static but any changes required quite a bit of CS input and workaround. Discrepancy on tax was the final nail in the coffin - not that the issue arose but the steps to resolution and inability have a definitive POC to work through the issue.

Pros

I'm going to be very honest in this review - I had a terrible experience with this platform (inherited from prior executives initiative). I gave it an honest go and the UI was dated, but more importantly the customer service was horrendous.

Cons

Customer service - without going into detail we had a tax correction that arose and I have never been bounced around so many times for months. This became an active item that made its way to our \[sensitive content hidden\] desk at the end of it.

My experience with Paycom did not begin until it was time to process payment for services. The method of payment request was not professional or in line with normal business standards.

Pros

Easy navigation on both desktop and mobile devices. Logical design layout. I like being able to view my paystubs before payday. It is also very easy to update banking information for direct deposits. The pay calculator is great as well!

Cons

I was not impressed with the method of request for payment processing by our salesperson. The request was deceptive.

Paycom support is always there when I need them. I can send an email, phone in, or using online tools to troubleshoot any question. I like a having all my HR data in one location. I can pull various reports.

Pros

All in one HRIS system, it is a create value for the money we spend each month. I like that we can process payroll on a Thursday for Friday paydate.

We switched from ADP and have never looked back. It was clear from other company demos that Paycom was the right fit for us. Our employees have been very happy with it as has our Finance Dept. We would love to see some surveys asking us about the features we would like to see Paycom add.

Pros

Ease of use Data management Best product we reviewed, seamless with expenses Expense management easy to use for employees and Finance Dept Love that employees can now upload a medical excuse when requesting leave

Cons

I have been in my role and using Paycom for about 9 months and feel like I have an overall good sense of how to utilize the key features. I am often overwhelmed by the amount of features and regularly unsure of what each function does. I think Paycom is capable of doing all of the tasks I want it too but I have no idea how to make changes to get to that point.

Pros

I love having the ability to access most features from my phone. The team is also very responsive although sometimes don't always have a quick answer, it is pretty easy to get in touch with a representative.

Cons

It is incredibly challenging to figure out where/how to make changes to certain things. Or seems to be multiple locations to make changes that are very similar. A good example is adding a pay code to a specific employee, often times we need to go to the employees profile to see what labor allocation profile they are in, then go to the labor allocation profiles and either create a new one or find an existing one that allows the correct access, then go back to the employees profile to change it to this and then also edit the user access profile for the manager to be able to see this employee. It is just a lot of steps for simple procedures. This is just one example but feel similar about other features.

Reasons for choosing Paycom

I was not a part of the decision making process. The company decided to switch to Paycom before I began.
