"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.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

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.

"Employee Ease with Time Clock"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

Paychex makes it easy for me to clock in and out of my virtual education job. It is a requirement that I implement it when I am working any of my shifts. I use it daily, as I work every single day (even though only part-time). It seems to have the right amount of features, and I'm not sure if it would need more. It has been very easy to integrate into my regular routine. Typically, when there is an issue, I either reach out to my HR or they reach out to me. Because of this, I have not had to use customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

Paychex has a tendency to fail to accurately record clock-ins or outs on random days. This results in my HR contacting me to clarify what time I finished my shift, despite the fact that I did, indeed, complete the task. It is very frustrating and adds more work than either of us needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Frequent Login and Punch Errors Create Extra Work for Supervisors"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

The ability to look at location of where employees clocks in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

The errors. Punches don't go through and it doesn't let you log in quite often which then makes more work for supervisors to fix punches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Support, Time Clock Issues Persist"
5/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

I really appreciate the support team at Paychex. We've had three different acquisitions this year, and the support team has been extremely great in helping us implement Paychex for each new facility we've acquired. Their support is nonstop; they've seen us through the first payroll of every facility to ensure everything is running smoothly. We have weekly calls with them, and their hands-on support is really appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

The time clocks. I think our biggest issue is time clocks. A lot of times, they just don't work properly. We have experienced a lot of camera issues with the time clock that we're using, where they kinda just fail and, decide to stop working. So I think that would be a big area of improvement for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Donna Di Pasquale of Paychex

Good afternoon, Felicia.

Thank you so much for the 5-star rating and your positive feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words and will be sure to pass along your comments about the timeclocks to the relevant team.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience with us.

"Integration Issues Make Paychex a Frustrating Experience"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

Nothing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

I've had a lot of issues with our 401(k) plan after plan mergers, including interrupted distributions for former employees without warning. Paychex treated withdrawals of pretax and Roth contributions as taxable. The integration between payroll and time & attendance modules is minimal; managers and employment status must be set separately in each. During open enrollment, Paychex prematurely starts HSA employer contributions despite the benefits year not beginning, causing issues for employees switching plans. The Flock module managing benefits doesn't communicate with the PBA module for FSAs and HSAs, lacking necessary checks when transitioning between health plans. The initial setup was tough due to having different contacts for each module, and they failed to set up our COBRA properly as discussed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Cates of Paychex

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.

"Paychex was amazing helping with ERC"
5/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

During the Covid 19 pandemic, Paychex kept up with the new laws and helped my company stay aflote. They helped with PPP funding sources that would actually work with our compnay. They also held webinars where they explained how we could use both ERC and PPP funds together. They were able to help keep my company alive.

They are great. The only bad thing is they offend have high turn over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

They have expertise in so many areas, but it always feels that when they want to educate you, they are only doing it to sell you a new product, rather than doing it because you are a current client. - same as my last review.

The only bad thing is they offend have high turn over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
