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

Paychex

What do you like best? Pyachex is pretty simple to use. I love that you have an additional Administrator option so that you may go on and do more than simply look at your pay stub. What do you dislike? When adding people in it does end up being a little difficult because it is easy to miss something. Obviously this is of importance because it is people pay, information, and/pr deductions of all kinds. Aside from that there really is no other complaints. What problems are you ...

I find Paychex payroll easy to use and the technical assocaites knowledgeable and responsive.

What do you like best? Prefilling the payroll fields and when I need to enter the checks myself, all I need to do is identify the people to pay and their fields are automatically entered. What do you dislike? There seem to be a lot of emails about issues I have no interest in or need for. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Approximately a 15 person payroll for a church.

People management in one place.

What do you like best? Being able to manage PTO, weekly hours, and 401k all in one place is a real time-saver for me. I appreciate being able to watch online tutorials and also have the ability to speak one-one-one with an agent to learn how to utilize the different components of the site. What do you dislike? Because I have two separate levels of employees and therefore have separate payrolls and PTO management I wish I could separate employees by level and only access the group I ...
