Product Description

Paychex reduces the complexity and risk of running your own payroll, while ensuring greater accuracy with up-to-date tax rates and regulatory information.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Unlike other human capital management solutions that are cobbled together on the back end, or rely on third-party “powered” solutions to tap into multiple databases, Paychex Flex delivers one of the most comprehensive mobile and cloud-based technology suites available. Built around a single source of real-time employee data, updates within the solution extend across all features, increasing accuracy and efficiency while reducing manual work. Now customers have a solution that can truly support employees from hire to retire, without duplicate data entry or multiple login screens.

What do you like best about Paychex?

The program handles payroll and tax-related items very well. Reports are easy to generate, and easy to read. Payroll items are easy to setup and edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

There always seems to be a bit a latency between setting up and implementsing; like setting up an employee. It's never as instantaneous as you would need it to be. Reports can be difficult to spot, but once you find one you find them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paychex solving and how is that benefiting you?

This a simple and streamlined platform I use for a few of my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. Avoid this vendor with a 10-foot pole Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

This is the second year in a row where Paychex over contributed to my 401-K exceeding the annual limit determined by the IRS. This opens a can of worms that IS NOT a pleasent experience, both in dealing with Paychex to issue a check for the excess amount, dealing with my CPA to rectify the oversight (which is not cheap), and of course dealing with the IRS RE: the excess contribution. This occured despite me a) adjusting my contribution percentage in 2022 (turns out Paychex takes 'several' pay stubs to reflect the new contribution amount - I wish it was more specific) and in 2023 I called several times to confirm the amount would auto-adjust once I hit my limit. They confirmed it would auto-adjust, and it did for the last three pay cycles but here we are at the end of the year with an unexplained deduction/contribution to my 401K.

To get anything solved easily at this company is an impossible headache. They transfer you without notice, and put you right back at the end of the cue spending hours on hold. Their customer service can't create case tickets too and call you back, so every time you call you start from square one.

I would also say their portal is incredibly clunky. It is 2023, not 1993. Let's have the UI/UX reflect it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company is a Paris based company using Paychex for the US team. It has honestly caused more problems than it has solved solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
