I like the intention, but the execution and training is terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is probably my company configuration, so take this in knowing that the people configuring Paycom at my company are not good with computers...at. all.
New interface is difficult to use - menu bars magically expand! BUT they actually move the menu item that you are on so you are no longer on the menu you wanted to look at *magic*
You can approve this timecard! BUT the employee hasn't approved, so clicking on the Approve button will make it look like you approved when you haven't so someone from HR WILL come to your desk to tell you that you have to review the timecards still *more magic*
OH! You manage people?! Great news - you get to have TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INTERFACES to navigate your HR stuff and the other people's HR stuff *even more magic*
BUT WAIT there's MORE! You not only have two different interfaces, but once you login on the manager portal, you no longer get to navigate back to your employee portal - no no, you get to logout completely then log back in *so much magic*
Help is not helpful. The ai references articles and menus that don't exist - largely because the interface has been overhauled but the help articles were left behind.
The AI "I want" feature is well intended but would be best if integrated into teams so I can type a message "submit PTO request for 8 hours on Friday" and the PTO request is generated for my approval then sent instead of forcing me into a totally different app that takes FOREVER to load then surfaces a list of menus and articles that are pointing at the wrong thing.
That the configuration is so botched is an indication that the UI is terrible everywhere and not just at the employee and manager level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
