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

perfect service

What do you like best? They are always on time to make the call for payroll information. They are obliging when it comes to sending reports that are needed for audits and so on. Most importantly - always courteous! What do you dislike? The only downside I have - and this is not a Paychex fault - is that our payroll gets delivered by USPS ad so sometimes it does not arrive on time - I have asked Paychex to make sure payroll is mailed the same day as it is processed. Recommendations ...

Excellent system with complete features

What do you like best? The relative simplicity of the system is a great value for the cost. It has everything we need to perform payroll. What do you dislike? The varying number of decimal places used for various reports and calculations. We track time off accruals in parallel in Excel, and keeping the two systems in sync is difficult until you round the various inputs to the same number of varying decimal places Paychex does. And I also don't like that accrual rates can only be ...

116 Green Holdings customer service review

What do you like best? I really like the level of customer service Paychex provides. We unfortunately just lost our rep (Misty Parker who was an amazing employee, and helped us tremendously in our desperate times. Even when Misty was out of the office, she always responded to emails and made sure that someone would be able to respond and help us with our situation as soon as possible. What do you dislike? I dislike that Paychex is slightly expensive for our small business. Some of the ...

Timely and very accurate production of documents and information.

What do you like best? The consistent accuracy of documents and effortless requirements on my part. What do you dislike? I have not had an experience that I could describe as disliking. Recommendations to others considering the product I would very highly recommend Paychex to any business interested in outsourcing their payroll to a professional company with whom you can trust will do the job right, do it on time, and keep you informed of any changes you need to be made aware of in ...

Paychex Flex is Easy to Use

It is helpful to be able to run all of my payroll reports before submitting payroll to make sure everything was done correctly What do you dislike? I do not like that my Paychex Flex account usually tells me I have more days to complete my payroll than what I actually have. There have been several times I have received an ...

Pleasantly Surprised

What do you like best? I come from a background using another payroll company for over 10 years. I was very skeptical at first working for a new company that didn't use the same payroll company I had worked with in the past. I was pleasantly surprised at how similar the two platforms were and how adaptive the Paychex platform was. When we wanted to make some internal changes on how we did things, Paychex Flex allowed us to make the changes with ease. On the few occasions I had issues, the ...
