Spotsaas Editor’s POV

Paychex Flex works best for small to mid-size businesses that need payroll processing, tax filing, and basic HR in one system. Before shortlisting, verify that the platform supports your state's specific tax requirements and any custom payroll rules your business uses—tax compliance varies significantly by location. Check whether the mobile app meets your needs ...Read more

Easy to use and great customer support

What do you like best? It’s very easy to submit my payroll on my PC or on my mobile device. What do you dislike? It took a few minutes for me to figure out how to maneuver through the reports. The information is all there, but there is a little bit of a learning curve. Recommendations to others considering the product: Take the leap and sign up. Migrating service from our previous vendor was a breeze, and Paychex Flex meets all our needs at a better price. What problems ...

I would never do business with ever again

I would never do business with this company ever again. From high pressure sales tactics that are basically just scare tactics to extremely high fees. None of their services are worth what they want to charge they try to pretend that getting out of their services is simple and easy but of course it is not. They want to take advantage of small business owners and prey on you being naive. It has been the most difficult company to work with in my entire life I have never seen such ...

HR's best friend!

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I love Paychex! I love everything about it -- timekeeping, on-boarding, payroll. But my favorite feature is the recently added "document storing." It's really useful for us and definitely improved our experience. Big shout out as well to our account rep, who's been extremely helpful to our team! What aspects are problematic or could work better? We're a little confused about the 401k program, so we're seeking more support from ...

Robust system for payroll!

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? Retrieving reports for audit is a breeze in Paychex Flex. Its user-friendly interface makes the experience more optimal. What aspects are problematic or could work better? I didn't like the recent update because it took away the automated recording of pay grades which I found helpful. It's actually one the features I like from the older versions -- the paygrades adjust whenever a salary is modified. What specific problems in ...

Payroll processing is no longer a headache!

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? Paychex perfectly complements our team because it responds to our needs. I love how the software made payroll tracking so convenient. Customer support is also a plus point for Paychex! What aspects are problematic or could work better? Time & attendance sometimes doesn't integrate well with Paychex, so we have to input in manually. Not sure if it's just a glitch, but it needs to be fixed so that we can have a centralized system. ...

Reliable app! Reliable customer support!

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I like that I submit payroll even if I'm outside the office because I can access the app using my PC, tablet, or phone. What aspects are problematic or could work better? It takes time to learn to navigate the reporting feature. What specific problems in your company were solved by this product? We're always out of the office with the type of business we're in, so remote access to the app has been really beneficial for ...

We love using Paychex!

What do you like best? Paychex application makes adding new employees, making changes and processing payroll a breeze. They offer competitive pricing and their customer service has been responsive and helpful anytime we've reached out to them. What do you dislike? It would be helpful if we received an email notification payroll reminder two days prior to payroll to avoid expedited payroll fees. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? ...
