Paycom functions as a comprehensive human resources and payroll management platform, primarily utilized by organizations for core payroll processing and as a full HRIS. In TrustRadius reviews, users leverage it for tasks like benefits administration, applicant tracking, time and attendance, and employee record-keeping. Its single-database architecture is frequently cited for consolidating various HR and payroll functions, reducing reliance on multiple disparate applications, and simplifying complex tasks. Reviewers consistently praise its robust reporting and analytics capabilities, with 35% highlighting detailed and customizable reports.

The platform's dedicated customer service model and responsive support are noted positives, alongside its efficiency gains from automation, which significantly reduces manual effort and errors. However, areas for improvement include challenges with reporting customization and navigation, with 27% of reviewers finding standard reports tedious to customize. The Applicant Tracking System module is also mentioned as complex. Overall, reviewer sentiment indicates that Paycom effectively streamlines HR and payroll operations, though some specific feature refinements are desired.

Paycom Review

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So payroll is my number one use for Paycom, but everything integrates into that. Our timekeeping system, even the budgeting goes into that. Everything's integrated. It's so nice, the applicant tracking. I love that. I love to be able to do everything from hire to retire through Paycom

Pros

  • So payroll is very intuitive. It catches you from making errors that most people would make in payroll. The last step of the payroll before you submit actually gives you possible errors, makes you double check. So that part's great. And then just the applicant tracking piece of it, the way that it's seamless and fully only has to put in their information one time and it feeds all the way through even to when they're hired, they don't have to refill anything out.

Cons

  • I have little things and I make my product suggestions, the improvement suggestions through my rep. But most recently I would love if whenever we paid out a manual check to an employee, it would prevent that same pay to be from being pulled into a payroll automatically.

Likelihood to Recommend

I feel like it's well suited for everybody. I mean, I've never worked in a giant company. We're a small company and it works for us. I've talked to other people that are in giant companies who use Paycom and love it too. So really I can't say enough good things about Paycom. They've always been good to me, so I'm a loyal client.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We process payroll, onboard new hires, handle performance reviews, employees enter timecards, benefits open enrollment and qualifying life events, we utilize it for Performance Issues.

Pros

  • Paycom set-up the system to where you can easily process payroll, and employees can approve their own paychecks so there are never any issues. Expenses/Timesheets/Time off requests flow over nicely to Payroll
  • Benefits administration set-up for our many medical plans and other benefits, it is seamless and super easy for employees to view their current benefits and costs associated with such. The Open Enrollment was a breeze and benefits team at Paycom is very good.
  • Performance Reviews was such a great transition going from excel spreadsheets to actual system that works, employees and managers loved the process, rating and the whole process.

Cons

  • N/A Paycom is super great.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using HR, Onboarding, Time Management, Expenses, and Certification tracking. Our business has had multiple systems over the years but never one that could manage each day-to-day activity that we conduct. Our employees are all over the USA working in the field and are managed from different areas. I use the reporting system to help with financials.

Pros

  • Time Management.
  • Communication
  • Training on each process of the system.

Cons

  • Custom Reports build out formats of reports that make better sense with less data on them.
  • Project Reporting just makes it easier to click on a project and get the history of the project.

Likelihood to Recommend

Paycom (Perry Watson) has been the most reliable one-on-one person that I, in 33 years, have ever had to work with. Paycom's platform is great, user-friendly, and easy to explain to employees who are not tech-savvy. Employees love the part where they get to see their check and approve it before they ever receive it. Our company is very different, and Paycom has helped me build a system where it is going to save time and money going forward.

Paycom Saves Time and Money!

Paycom is not a payroll service. It is payroll software.

Rating: 1 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I was sold Paycom as a payroll service that would be up to date on California payroll laws. What I found out is that Paycom is payroll software, and it's up to you to learn how to use its incredibly complicated software and get it to work with California laws. We use the Timekeeping (glitchy), payroll, expenses, scheduling, HR, and talent acquisition functions. The expenses were sold as highly customizable, but the reports they use do not show any of the custom fields you created unless you run a custom report, so you lose the ability to sort the information in a meaningful way. I turn off the expense portion since it has never worked or imported into my QuickBooks correctly, and they removed all access to past reporting, so I've lost a year of expense backup.

Pros

  • Sales

Cons

  • Access to people who know how to use the software
  • Honesty in the sales process
  • Access to the tax department to fix issues
  • Quick response to problems
  • Following through with employee promises

Likelihood to Recommend

The people you work with do not know how to use their own product.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Paycom across the whole organization and utilize their services for Benefits, On-boarding, HR paperwork,Time & Attendance, Payroll, Garnishments, Surveys, and Training.

Pros

  • Payroll
  • Time & Attendance
  • Custom fields in the system for tracking DOT information
  • Custom Applications

Cons

  • Applicant system has improved but would like to see it get a little more user friendly
  • Background Checks - MVR's are not DOT compliant for all states
  • Archiving schedule needs to be more compliant for semi-monthly

Likelihood to Recommend

Paycom has improved our payroll process and they still come out with more updates every year. The background checks could use improvement.
