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.

Easier Access

What do you like best? Like the fact that I can see all of the company's employees on one page and be able to make any adjustments while working on payroll. What do you dislike? There is one aspect of the program that has yet to be corrected and that is; that when I access the link to show tracking of a FedEx shipment, it does not provide any information. In fact, the links takes you to a "blank" window. Recommendations to others considering the product: Still has some ...

Paychex is Great!

What do you like best? The best thing about Paychex is the flexibility.

I like the fact that when I call, I'm connected to my dedicated representative without having to enter a phone extension. What do you dislike? I dislike that the input and ...

Still experiencing disconnects for reporting and EEO Data

What do you like best? Ability to house data to be reported by multiple users. On-line platform What do you dislike? Reporting set up.

Be able to save frequent reports so user doesn't have to reset options each time. Applicant Tracking system is not keeping up with times and does not provide good customer service. Add the ability to text ...
