**Reviewed by:** Kathie M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2019

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

As a small business owner, I have many responsibilities and Paychex Flex allows me to enter weekly payroll quickly and easily.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

When I needed to add a garnishment and associated fees to the system, I was not able to complete the setup on my own, but had to call to get it set up.  It would be nice to be able to facilitate adding these fields on my own.

Once set up, it saves me a massive amount of time posting timesheets.

The initial set-up took much more time than I was anticipating

For others in non-profit business with double-entry accounting, be prepared for a little more time to do set-up, however, Paychex integrated with our pension account which, after set-up, is terribly time-saving.

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

It saves me time. Once set up, is terribly easy to run salaried employees and hourly employees are much less time-consuming.

It is a full service company, that handles all of the legalities.

To many add ons that should be included.

  ### 7. Why I am leaving Paychex

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matt D. | Founder & CTO, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Nothing really. I liked the portal at first, it seemed straight forward, but it is lacking in many areas.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Mainly customer service. It is non-existent. During onboarding the rep. incorrectly entered bank info and employee SSNs. Paychex accidentally processed 3 payrolls in 1 day trying to fix it, withdrawing approx. $100k in error, they didn't even help us get the money back, we had to pursue the banks they sent the money to. All this over their onboarding staff members careless typos on very important info.

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

Paychex has created more problems than they have solved.

**Official Response from Bryan Bleecker:**

> Hi, Matt. We are sorry to hear that this has been your experience with Paychex. If you are open to it, you can email us at reviews@paychex.com with your business name, best contact information and some details surrounding your concern. We will have a member of our leadership team reach out to you directly.

  ### 8. Great service for small business

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Syd M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2020

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

They excel in all areas:  Responsive customer support, easy to use on-line portal, good value for what you get,  and they are very proactive in reacting to emerging payroll related issues, etc.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Haven't had any major/serious  issues in the nearly 10 years we have been using them

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

Biggest single benefit to me, as the person who deals with company finances, is how they take care of all the tax requirements and I never have to worry about if I made a mistake or forget to send in something by various governmental deadlines.

**Official Response from Tiffany Smith:**

> Thank you Syd for your 5 star review. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you

  ### 9. I've never lacked more confidence in a vendor, ever

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeanette R. | Director of Strategic Sales and Growth, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

This is the first review I've ever written for G2 where I'm truly struggling to say anything positive about my experience with the Paychex Platform, the customer service, the complaint resolution, onboarding AND OFFBOARDING... literally, anything.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

If there was an "all of the above" option that would make answering this easiest. The company I work for has multiple entities using or previously using the Paychex Platform and services. There hasn't been a correct bill for services in the entirety of our tenure using this vendor. Of the many times we've needed to reach out to support, it's been a miserable process that often requires us to own multiple follow-ups to even get a response. Resolutions are considered a lucky, isolated outcome that we no longer have any faith in achieving. The cascading results of these issues have impacted not only our valuable time and effort but also have created significant negative experiences with our direct employees who depend on access to their core benefits and payment data. We've gone so far as to have to include the President of the company to even receive basic responses. The transition away from using this provider has proved to be even worse than using them. We are now straddling a black hole of data that should have been "effortlessly transferred" to our new vendor that leaves our CEO and Managing Partner losing 30min to an hour dealing with this situation on a DAILY basis for MONTHS on end. I could not recommend strongly enough to NEVER consider any Paychex services or affiliated offerings. I would welcome any extra assistance or recourse from a Paychex representative and would happily update this review to reflect any resolution you'd be able to help us achieve in ending this nightmare.

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

We were trying to do basic payroll and employee benefits.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> "Hello Jeanette . We are sorry to hear about the experience you have had with Paychex. If you're open to it, please send us an email to reviews@paychex.com with your full name, business name and best contact information so we can have leadership reach out to you directly. Thank you." 

  ### 10. I like the options available.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

The recruitment portal is really convenient

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Not getting the full platform of functions with Indeed

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

They are very helpful customer service

  ### 11. Great payroll software!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Paychex Flex is easy to integrate with QuickBooks Online, easy to map General Ledger, and easy to view reports showing you everything you need to know. In my experience, it surpasses its competitors in quality of payroll reports and live support.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

When trying to manually send prior journal data after the General Ledger has initially been setup (for instance, after several payrolls have already been run), you have to send the journal entries one at a time, otherwise they will all lump into the same date. I asked a Paychex rep about this, and she said that's just the way it is for now, and she didn't know why.

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

I've used other payroll softwares in the past, and they would on occasion withdraw funds from the bank with no discernible information on any reports displaying what the purpose was of that amount. Not so with Paychex. Any amount that is withdrawn--or deposited--in the bank account by Paychex matches up to at least one report in their Analytics & Reports section.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello! Thank you for your 5 star review. We appreciate your feedback!

  ### 12. Paychex Flex Enabled a relative to pay me to manage her properties

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

It allowed me to care for a relative's proprties, while paying into Social Security, And having the security of Worker's Comp. and disability benefits. I also accessed health insurance, and quarterly employer taxes were calculated and paid for my relative

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Monthly cost of invoices is a lot for a senior on a fixed income

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

Easy to use payroll software

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

I'm receiving worker's comp benefits after an on the job injury.

  ### 13. Paychex Flex has been very efficient and answers my questions in a timely manner.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julie R. | HR Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022

  ### 14. Paychex Flex

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cynthia D. | Payroll & Benefits Administrator, Human Resources, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Overall, we have everything in one place now -- Payroll, Time Cards, Human Resources, etc. My rep at Paychex is very knowledgeable and has helped me learn to utilize the product better.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Some things don't work the way my mind thinks they should.  Smiles.  But everything works.

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

Have a clear idea of what you are looking for.  Review Paychex literature and have questions ready before speaking with a representative.  Have examples of the process you currently use, as well as reports that you use.

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

We just moved Time & Attendance over to Flex this year.  Our Departments and Employee divisions were a bit confusing at first.  My new Rep was able to help me set up a couple of complex reports (non-standard) that are allowing me to pull more information and full analysis with minimal effort.

**Official Response from Alicia  Morse:**

> Thank you for the 4.5 star review! We appreciate the feedback!

  ### 15. Attentive service

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Mostly seamless preparation of our bi-weekly payroll.  When there are questions, our account rep and her superior are timely at providing clarifications.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

There was a fair amount of turnover in staff at Paychex earlier in the year, so getting it setup became a bit of an issue.

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

Much more simplified management of the bi-weekly payroll.  Hiccups in documents or baseline information are easy to correct.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello! I am glad that you find the system mostly seamless and are able to receive assistance when needed. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 16. Easy to use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karen H. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

I like that it is super easy to use.  I like entering the information online.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Sometimes it's hard to connect with my rep.  When I used to call in the info, it was hard to reach my designated rep.  But online works great.

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

I recommend Paychex Flex.

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

Entering the info online gives me the opportunity to do it on my own schedule.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hi Karen! I am glad that you find the system easy to use.  We appreciate your feedback. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 17. Flex with Paychex

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

I like the agility to import data seamlessly and the variety of options for filtering and creating reports.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

The change of home job feature could use an upgrade, with certain access, the user/admin is not able to retroactively update someone's home job. In order to retroactively change it, you'd need to send the data to your Paychex rep and have them change it. Furthermore, when payroll reports are downloaded they would use the current home job even if that person was not in that home job during the pay period being paid. Also, if the home job is changed retroactively, you'd need to manually change their home job on the time card, it doesn't happen automatically.

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

Payroll, HR, and time tracking. The system is pretty flexible and offers a variety of options for the users. Like everything in life, there is always room for improvement, but given all the features it offers, it is a well-rounded platform.

  ### 18. Excellent service, easy to use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2022

Paychex is usually very intuitive, and when I can't figure something out, I have an excellent customer service representative.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Customized reports can be difficult to generate.

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

I recommend Paychex because it is easy to use and integrate with any other systems you may use. The customer service is out of this world fabulous!

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

Solving problems with streamlining the work process.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Thank you for your 5-star review. We appreciate your feedback. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 19. Minority Managing Owner

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jason W. | M, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Listen, the Flex platform itself is fine. It is intuitive and fairly straight forward. My issue is Paychex support.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Paychex support has been abysmal for the last year or more. No response to emails after weeks, poor follow up from support directors and upper management.

I needed a payroll processing solution. It handled my basic needs.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello Jason.  We are sorry to hear about the experience you have had with Paychex. If you are open to it, please email reviews@paychex.com with your Company Name/ID, your name, and the best way to contact you so we can have leadership reach out to you directly. Thank you.

**Reviewed by:** Karen C. | office manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Using Paychex is easy.  A convenient way to get reports when you need them and how you need them.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

When I run combined reports after each payroll I would prefer the copies of the individual paystubs be at the end instead in the midst of the different reports.

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

Not really having any problems at this time. 
It is easy to change benefits when a person chooses, for example, additional insurance.  I can enter payroll on my phone when I go on vacation.  Payroll takes less time than it did before.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

I like that it is easy to import data and pull reports.

  ### 22. Paychex Flex All in One Place!!!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

The thing I like best about Paychex Flex is that everything I need is all on one site. Everything from Payroll, to Reports, to Human Resources, to Time and Attendance and Retirement Services.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

SometimesI cannot figure out to do some things and the Rep, sometimes, is not a lot of help and expects me to figure it out on my own

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

I recommend Paychex Flex to other companies looking to have everything they need ALL IN ONE PLACE

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

Payroll is very simple to do now. We have taken advantage of the Retirement and Health Benefits also. It is very nice having everything in one place. 

**Official Response from Mieux Williamsen:**

> Joyce, thank you for your review and your feedback!

  ### 23. Couldn't wait to get away from Paychex

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

It was nice having 1 dedicated human contact

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

They had zero features that other payroll companies offer. They took forever to reply, and their whole interface was very antiquated.

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

It did not solve our problems so we moved away from it to Rippling.

  ### 24. Stear  Clear

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

There is not too much that we can good about this program.   The program is outdated unless you buy into the company's payroll and HRIS program.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

The program is outdated, needs a significant upgrade to either all features or just the 401(k) piece.

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

Look at other options before coming to the vendor.  Their program has two options.  If you only do the 401(k), your options would be limited, and if you choose to do the heath and HR options, then your options are a lot different, and the look and feel of flex is almost night and day.

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

401(k) administration.  The nice thing is that all of the content is all in one place, and the user features are more or the less the same for admin and end user.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello- Thank you for your feedback. We'd like the opportunity to speak with you regarding some of the concerns you have. If you are open to it, please email reviews@paychex.com with your Company Name/ID, your name, and the best way to contact you. Thank you!

  ### 25. Reliable payroll service

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Paychex is very reliable and I know that our payroll will be in the staff accounts on the day scheduled. If we need to make changes or talk to our rep they are always responsive

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

For a while there was a lot of turnover with our account rep and it was hard to get a response if we had any issues; however, that issue seems to have been resolved

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

They offer a good product at a decent cost. It makes my job easier!

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

We rely on them to do all our payroll including taxes. I love that I don't have to worry about that. I only need to reconcile our taxes with our accounting system, not figure them out and send them in.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello! I am glad that you find the system reliable and your representative is responsive when you need them! If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Paychex Flex allows me to have control over weekly payroll and offers convenient onboarding tools. The staff also have personal login information, which gives them access to past check stubs, tax documents, etc. Paychex Flex seemlessly integrates with paperless payroll and allows direct deposit. I love the extremely helpful and quick tech support.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

There are so many features that it is hard to know exactly what I should be learning to increase my system use. I would love to have a tutorial that shares: here's a basic use, here's level 2, here's level 3, and so on.

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

We utilize Paychex Flex to run our payroll and pay 1099 contractors.  It makes it quick, easy, and provides all the necessary paperwork for reporting, etc.

  ### 27. Run to any other PEO! Do not go with Oasis!!

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Megan W. | HR

**Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

There is nothing that I like about Oasis.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Everything! We've had them for 9+  months and every single pay period I have to manually enter hours information because the file feed from the time system into the Oasis system does not work correctly.  It'll pay an employe 20 regular hours and 65 OT hours. I've complained and no one has made any attempts to resolve the issues.  IT has said there's no issues at all.  Ridiculous! We recently went through open enrollment.  I have an employee population that needs hands-on assistance as they are not comfortable with technology. I've called for a week and have yet to speak with any human in the benefits department.  The departments are siloed so your HR Contact can't help you with Benefits.  AT ALL.  Not even a little.  I asked for paper forms to enroll one employee to get him finally enrolled as he was having constant issues getting into the system (which I have no power to help with because they don't give me access to reset a password, or change a username, etc.).  I was told paper forms (from my HR contact) don't exist but they did when we signed up initially. Oasis gives you very little power to actually help your employees and then they don't answer the phone to assist them! We switched from ADP due to their poor customer service.  Oasis makes them look like a saint!!! I cannot wait to switch to literally any company other than Oasis.

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

Oasis has only created problems for us, not solved anything.  Sales department sells you the world and does not follow through.  

Zero benefits have materialized since enrolling with Oasis.  Zero.  We want our money back.

  ### 28. Easy and affordable to use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Ease of use after setup - a few of our divisions are seasonal, it will be easy to explain to the new people in charge.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Some errors are impossible to correct.  Had to find a work around for one.

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

Easy software to use

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

Not having to mail out w2s

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello! Thank you for your 5-star review. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 29. Payroll & HR Services That Make Life Easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amanda B. | Office Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Paychex Flex makes running my payroll and staying on top of changes and updates easy.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

We use an entry system that requires us to allot time to clients. It is not easy to add those clients to Paychex. It takes a long time.

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

We were using a CPA service to run payroll before Paychex. I am saving time and have to spend less time on entering Payroll and calculating it.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello Amanda! Thank you for your 5 star review! We appreciate your feedback.  If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.


  ### 30. Terrible - from the platform to the support agents

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

The sales guy was nice.But beyond that I cannot recommend anything about this service.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

An arcane, outdated platform that doesn't even show totals.
Terrible support.
Lack of clear communication.
Lack of clear direction.
Lack of support in my time zone.
Ridiculous deadlines for submitting payroll if you happen to be based on the West Coast.
Nonstop upselling when they can't even get the services we paid for right.
Turnover - on the payroll side alone, we had three new specialists in as many months. None of which trained us properly on the platform.
Unauthorized remits.
They do not send alerts or emails to employees when payroll is processed.
They default to communications by snail mail which makes no sense when most businesses are remote. 
Zero visibility from their Flex team into HR and vice versa, which means you have to do everything twice. 
Requesting forms and information THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE in their system on my business. 
Mislabelling contractors as employees causing tax issues for everyone involved. 
I've wasted so many hours of my time that could have been going to growing my business, chasing, following up, and trying to get things corrected.

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

Zero benefits. In fact, it has caused our business to be less productive.

**Official Response from Bryan Bleecker:**

> Hello. We are sorry to hear about the experience you have had with Paychex. If you're open to it, please send us an email to reviews@paychex.com with your full name, business name and best contact information so we can have leadership reach out to you directly. Thank you.

  ### 32. Ease of Use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

The ease of use of the Paychex Flex program is the best part of it. Plus, I can allow employees to access their records when they need to do so.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Nothing is missing from this product. It is a great payroll system.

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

I would recommend Paychex Flex to any company that needs an easy to use payroll system with good people backing up any concerns you may have.

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

Sending my payroll in on the 1st and 15th has worked out great for our small company (a church). I'd recommend this system to anyone.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Thank you for the 5 star review! I am glad that you find the system easy to use. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 33. Paychex has been a reliable and responsive payroll vendor

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Charles C. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

The week to week functions are done without needing any input/attention from me and when I need something special they are helpful and responsive.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

The only thing that comes to mind would be some level of integration with Quickbooks online

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

I strongly recommend it.

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

Taking care of my small but multiple state payroll. Paychex automatically takes care of most issues around payroll and expertly lead me through anything out of the ordinary I need to do.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello Charles!  Thank you for your 5 star review! We appreciate your feedback. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 34. A good system especially if you have remote workers

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brenda B. | Corporate Relations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

You have the ability to allow people to access it from remote settings or to lock it so it can only be accessed via a workstation. I would say this program is equal to most other payroll systems.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

There are times when it lags and it takes several minutes for employees to get logged on. This can become a problem because it does not properly record the time the person began their shift.

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

It is much easier to approve employees' time and also it allows employees to see their benefit time in real-time.  When you have multiple work sites this allows HR to assist employees in real-time.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello Brenda! I am glad to hear the accessing feature is something that is helpful to you. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 35. PayChex review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

Easy of processing my own payroll.  Always get quick assistance when needed.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

At this time I cannot think of anything negative.

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

Being able to process my own payroll is time-efficient.  Paychex handling all taxes to be paid has helped bookkeeping.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello! Thank you for your 5-star review! I am glad that you find the system easy to use when processing your payroll, and that you are getting assistance when you need it. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 36. Director of Accountng

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

I like that I can sign into one website with all of my modules or platforms that I need access to. It saves a lot of my time instead of having to sign into multiple websites/modules.  I also like that their Time & Attendance keeps track of the employees accrued time off instead of my team calculating it manually.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

With the Analytics and Reports, it takes some time to understand what report will give me what I'm looking for or having to create a few reports to get the information that my company is looking for.

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

Paychex Flex does make it easier to handle payroll and payroll needs.

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

Saving time and money with processing payroll.  Employees inaccuracy of reporting their time and the supervisor can correct or update their staff's timesheets.

**Official Response from Jenna Kempie:**

> Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're happy to help make payroll simple for you.

  ### 37. Everything worked smoothly.  If I required assistance Paychex team was always there to assist.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lady V. | Payroll Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

I can submit payroll at a later time than with preview

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

First couple of days...system was confusing.  Also learning how to generate reports with new Paychex Flex system.

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

Employees are able to do more on their own.  System works a lot faster

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Thank you for your 5-star review. We appreciate your feedback. If there is anything you need in the future, please email us at reviews@paychex.com.

  ### 38. The toll is very easy going also the assistance of the people is on time.

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

The easy way to interact with the application

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

I have nothing to say about this point because so far everything has been positive

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

Quality services staff and the toll

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

Sometimes Employees have situations with their checks, eg. They lost or damaged the document, and just with a phone call request the next day, the Employee has the tab replaced. 
If you need support from them, they are there for you all the time

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello! Thank you for your 5 star review! We appreciate your feedback.

  ### 39. Paychex Review

**Reviewed by:** Lori R. | C, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

I have access to paycheck specialists to help answer questions no matter what time of day

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

The fact that my Assigned Specialist is always changing...there has been no longevity/history....and they never answer their phones, I 've left messages which are never answered.  So I just request to be sent to the next available Rep.

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

This year I  was told how to enter the Medical/Dental Benefits for Owners.  I was also told how to make it so that our employees arent unduly taxed when getting a bonus.

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> Hello Lori.  We are sorry to hear about the experience you have had with Paychex. If you're open to it, please send us an email to reviews@paychex.com with your full name, business name and best contact information so we can have leadership reach out to you directly. Thank you.

**Recommendations to others considering Paychex:**

Think about the places you waste the most time during payroll and how much quick access would help with that.

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

Payroll, 401k, all of my full-time employees have everything in one place.  From updating health or changing addresses, it is all there. The HR solutions have been a huge asset to me

  ### 44. It's Good Enough I Guess

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rebecca S. | Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2021

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

They take care of paying taxes and filing all related paperwork. I barely have to think about it.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

The customer service has gone WAY downhill in the last few years. I don't get replies to most of my requests. They generally do get taken care of, but if they don't there is no accountability whatsoever. They're also pretty useless when it comes to unusual situations. This past year when we were trying to get ERC money by including it on our form 941, they had no idea how I could go about making a change to a form they fill out automatically. I finally just sent them a spreadsheet and hoped for the best.

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

Provides direct deposit and online check stubs for my employees.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

No complaints so far. Everything has been resolved in a quick manner.

Complete package.

We had some issues with the state reporting deadlines but it has been resolved.

**Reviewed by:** Dick C. | CFO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

At this point, I am frustrated with Paychex and would rather not answer.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

Customer service is awful when you have a problem. Dealing with an issue since December and keep getting the run around or better yet ignoring my emails.

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

none

**Official Response from Candice Williams:**

> We are sorry to hear about the experience you have had with Paychex. If you are open to it, please email reviews@paychex.com with your Company Name/ID, your name, and the best way to contact you so we can have leadership reach out to you directly. Thank you.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Paychex?**

My payroll specialist is amazing! She promptly responds to all my questions and requests. I don't have to worry about payroll being correct, taxes, or tax forms.

**What do you dislike about Paychex?**

I can't think of anything that really bothers me about the Paychex process.

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