Reviews of Paychex Flex
Alternatives Considered:
Calm in a sea of changing regulations
Comments: We had considered hosting our own payroll, however, with the craziness of COVID and regulations we are very happy we chose a partner provided and supported solution. Saves us time chasing new regulations and forms and the dreaded amendments.
Pros:
The customer service makes the product easy to use. The support makes the product as with many payroll software products it will do what you want you just have to find the right entry and set up.
Cons:
At times its so complete it can be overwhelming to find some less used features you had found before. Again they are all like this but the customer support makes this a breeze as you can actually talk to a human being that listens and helps.
It is very easy to use and has great support
Comments: Since then, many businesses have approached me about switching, but I still haven't found a good enough reason to abandon Paychex Flex. It's simple to use, produces excellent results, and supports my needs promptly. The direct deposit and web portal make payroll simple. It's easy to learn and adapt to the system. Timely reports can be simply integrated with other bookkeeping software.
Pros:
In 2017, at the advice of our Accountant, we began using Paychex Flex. I was hesitant because I was the one who always handled payroll through our company's accounting program. But Paychex Flex is so straightforward that I can't imagine ever switching from it to some other payroll system.
Cons:
The ability to write notes on an employee's paystub; for instance, a place to mention what the bonus is for when it is given; this would be helpful.
Paychex review
Pros:
I liked how the website was laid out. I also like how easy the hiring tab was to use. I really liked how everyone's PTO was on one calendar that administrators could see.
Cons:
I did not like how if an employee used Paychex with a previous employer, it was very difficult to add them and separate the profiles.
Paychex Flex Is a Good Onboard Solution
Comments: Overall I'm pleased with this product. The onboarding and user interface is very user friendly and easy to learn and use. The communication could be better due to account reps changing quite a bit. And of course, I would like to see a more economical price nowadays.
Pros:
Very user friendly interface for manually entering payroll and onboarding new employees.
Cons:
Many different hands and account reps. The communication could be a bit better.
This software is the easiest one for payroll in my experience.
Comments: Overall it is a real decent software to use. It is user friendly and has most all the features you need.
Pros:
That I can review my W2 and all my paystubs in the same place whenever I need to and I can print them or download them easily. I love the clock in machine to.
Cons:
The APP takes forever to log in a lot of the times. I would be on time coming back from lunch but by the time the app would open and I clocked back in I would be , sometimes up to 4 minutes late. Those minutes add up when you only get paid once a month.
