"User-Friendly Payroll with Room for Support Improvement"

4/5

What do you like best about Paychex?

I like Paychex for its ease of use. It's user-friendly and offers easy step-by-step processes. I can seamlessly enroll employees, onboard, update records, and run reports. The availability of these features makes managing payroll tasks much more manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

Connecting with my specialist if I have questions or concerns. Anytime I call, I am redirected or have to leave a voicemail. I don't have a lot of interaction with my assigned representative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Navigate Payroll and Helpful HR Tools"

5/5

What do you dislike about Paychex?

Sometimes Paychex Flex doesn’t communicate with the payroll system correctly, so I end up having to manually adjust certain items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Paychex is terrible, 0/10, would not recommend"

0/5

What do you like best about Paychex?

Nothing! Paychex has been terrible to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

I dislike the lack of knowledge, being passed around and not getting serious issued addressed. Payroll errors are not resolved and there is no accountability by any support person (or manager). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Paychex has actually cost me (small business owner) considerable time and money in trying to resolve discrepancies between Paychex payroll team (where the errors and lack of communication and constantly changing "dedicated account reps" are taking place) and our Benefits administrators. This has caused inaccurate payroll, inaccurate W-2s, over billing for benefits and service fees and inaccurate medical coverage for our employees. Its been a disaster and I would not recommend Paychex to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find their customer service representatives are not knowledgeable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive HR Services, but Navigation and 401(k) Updates Need Improvement"

3/5

What do you like best about Paychex?

They offer a comprehensive range of services, including integrated 401(k) administration. Their HR consulting package is particularly strong, and their technical support team is highly responsive and provides assistance promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

It is difficult to find the various scattered menus here. Additionally, the response time for 401(k) services is quite slow, and the information regarding 401(k) plans is not up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Payroll Management with Paychex"

5/5

What do you like best about Paychex?

I like how Paychex makes it easy to track pay and deductions. It also keeps track of needed W2s and information if an audit is done, which is really handy. Paychex serves as a one-stop shop because I can contact customer service, and they'll send me all the information needed for an audit. I find it user-friendly, and their direct customer service is a big help. The initial setup was very easy, with a representative staying on the phone until everything was installed and logins were created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

I don't like the hold times when trying to reach customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly System, but Customer Service Needs Improvement"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Paychex?

Their system is very user-friendly. Reports and documents are easy to access, and using the system doesn’t require much training, which makes it straightforward to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their customer service is extremely lacking. It's why I switched to proliant a few years ago and now that I'm back with Paychex I realize their customer service has only gotten worse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
