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

Paycom suits SMBs looking to consolidate payroll and HR tasks while giving employees more control over their data. Its mobile tools and time tracking features are well-rated, but buyers should weigh the trade-offs in reporting flexibility and setup complexity before committing.

Overall, my experience with Paycom has been very positive. The software is user-friendly, easy to navigate, and continues to improve with helpful features like IWant. Their customer service team is excellent and always quick to provide answers and support when needed. I also really value the relationship aspect of their service. Their traveling field agent visits us about every quarter to provide trainings, check in with our team, and discuss ways we can continue improving our processes. That level of support and communication has made working with Paycom a great experience overall.

Pros

What I like most about Paycom is how user-friendly the software is. It’s very easy to navigate and find what you need. The new IWant feature has also been very helpful because employees can ask their own questions instead of always coming to me as the payroll admin. I also really appreciate their customer service team. They always respond quickly and are very helpful whenever I have questions.

Cons

One thing I like least about Paycom is that some features can take time to learn when they are first introduced or updated. However, they do a great job providing training sessions and resources for new features, which makes the transition much easier and helps users get comfortable quickly.

Very good. We have utilized more modules within the last year and learned so much. Many of the modules have really made things run more efficiently.

I feel heard and treated with respect. Development recommendations are genuinely considered. They check in periodically to make sure you are getting your full value from the system and review best practices.

Pros

Everytime you turn around, Paycom is developing something new. Innovation is their middle name! And could we please give our client rep, \[sensitive content hidden\], a round of applause?! She is like a dog with a bone and chews on an issue until there is nothing left to chew on.

Cons

Some things don’t integrate. For instance, in payroll, there are 3-4 fields indicating whether an EE is hourly or salary.

The five years experience utilizing the Paycom system has been great, as the system has made great changes in five years with AI I want, myCom, and increased training topics.

Pros

Paycom built their system from the bottom up which runs smoothly, they did not purchase modules to add to their system which ends up having many disconnect for the customers according to the 20 years of experience with payroll HRIS systems.

Cons

Paycom is adding new features which is great, but the clients should have access to certain processes to understand it better as the company's subject matter expert (SME) using Paycom it would be helpful when they have an issue or correction.

I love working with Paycom and would recommend to anyone looking for a new platform. I have been a customer for 11 years and wouldn’t choose another service provider.

Pros

I have used many other payroll platforms and Paycom’s customer service is top notch! They are always available when I need them and are experienced enough to solve my issues quickly.

Cons

Building the performance reviews require multiple layers to get to the final product. If you have a complicated review, that are different for each position, the platform is not user friendly.

Great tool for recruiting as it also works hand in hand with other platforms that we use as well. Paycom also has multiple features that have helped simplify recruiting as well.

Pros

Paycom is easy to navigate but most importantly the support is always there even if I have the smallest question.

Cons

They have a few tasks that I wish we can complete in one motion when it comes to recruiting but like anything else it will hopefully come in due time

Paycom has made my life as an HR manager so much easier. Payroll only takes moments now instead of hours. Nearly anything I want to accomplish in my position can be done in one place now! It's also allowed me to delegate tasks back to our supervisors, as they can access everything they need on their end as well through the app.

Pros

Everything on Paycom is quick and easy to do. Since the program uses one code for everything, it's very streamline and intuitive. I've tried other payroll providers in the past that were difficult to navigate and each task involved opening multiple windows. We were able to replace several programs with only Paycom. The app is a great resource, and our managers can use it on the fly in the field. They also have amazing customer service, when I do need help they respond right away, and offer advice and guidance on how to use the tools.

Cons

There's honestly very little I don't like, but one that that was tricky is it's VERY customizable. There are features that I was slower to use because there was a bit of work up front to make them do what I wanted. Once you put the time in to set it up though, it save so much time in the long run having your processes automated.

Switched from

[Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/)

Paylocity was very difficult to use. Nothing felt "connected" and payroll was taking me at nearly 10 hours to complete. It was also lacking talent management and onboarding features that we needed, and couldn't be tailored to our needs.

We have loved the support and training offered. We have seen a decrease in time spent on tasks and a huge increase in compliance with documentation.

Pros

I have been so impressed with the customer support. A designated specialist who is a part of a team who knows our company and always responds. They are quick to resolve issues we experience and always update the system to be easy to use.

Cons

The system is constantly updating - which while great - can be difficult to keep up with the new changes and features.

We have a partnership with Paycom which provides for an outstanding experience with them. They have worked to understand our business operations to provide the support we need.

Pros

The ability to accurately capture time and attendance, inclusive of labor distribution for both office and field employees.

Cons

The fact that some information is reported on Central time instead of the employer's time zone can get confusing.
