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

Great asset and support to our company

What do you like best? I love how simple it is to use! I am grateful for my team of specialist who are so helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I have. Paychex has been a great support to our company and myself! What do you dislike? At the beginning my team of specialist seems to change frequently, and it was hard to keep track of who I needed to contact for help. That has since changed and I have been very happy. What problems are you solving with the ...

User Friendly with Great Support

What do you like best? This is a simple, user friendly payroll system that makes finding reports and making changes easy. Step by step management of employees makes adding in new employees and making changes to existing really simple. What do you dislike? Honestly, I'm not certain there is anything I dislike at this time. I was hesitant at first with the upgrade but with the tutorials, it was easy to navigate through. Recommendations to others considering the product: Take the time ...

Paychex is a convenient and quick way to process payroll.

What do you like best? Having the payroll program preset and having the option to just click auto pay or enter myself. What do you dislike? Having a set check date. I have to edit if i want a different date. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Having them collect and pay payroll taxes and do quarterly and annual reports and w-2's. This saves me time and money.

Not super user friendly but works for basic purposes

What do you like best? Easy to clock in and out and view your paycheck What do you dislike? Logging in is quite a process. It logs you out after 30 minutes of not using it, so you have to either way for it to fully log out or load a new tab, then put in the username, then wait for it to load, then put in the password, then wait for it to load again before finally the page loading and being able to clock in or out. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you ...
