I appreciate being able to check on the 401(k) and have the money go straight into employee accounts, saving time and effort. Since insurance coverage is now related directly to who has enrolled in which plans, processing payroll has become much more efficient.
Pros
From either the employer's or employee's perspective, the website couldn't be simpler to use. Filters and stored views make it easy to customize your payroll experience based on your current needs.
Cons
Over the years, I've seen a few different specialists. Obviously, not everyone has the same potential. When my allocated person hasn't been able to help me, I've found that the online chat staff is quite responsive and helpful.

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.

When I called customer service with try to getting my correct information in the system, the woman I spoke with spoke English and she was so very helpful!
Pros
The app is user friendly. There is a face recognition button on the app to use- I forget my passwords, and this is a nice feature.
Cons
I have to be honest with my review- I do not know if this is Paycheck or my employer on how they set things up. I do not see what I make an hour; I believe paychex has is set up for a dollar amount each pay week, and it is a salary pay, I do not think they can do it a different way. It is sort of strange. it was very difficult to change my personal information that my employer had entered in wrong, not all my paystubs are available to view.

Paychex Flex has been a great help for me when it comes to filing taxes and keeping track of my salary and benefits. The dashboard is remarkably user-friendly, allowing me to filter information and data exactly the way I want. Overall, I would give it a solid 10/10!
Pros
The platform is incredibly user-friendly and straightforward to navigate. It’s especially useful during tax season, as it conveniently consolidates all tax forms and benefit statements in one location!
Cons
I can’t think of any downsides to this product right off the bat. It’s highly practical and straightforward to use!

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.

Very frustrating. Time and Attendance wasnot set up to cover varied time schedules. Majority of our staff work 7 hours or less and it calculated employees PTO at 8 hours.
Pros
We had a difficult payroll and many on the implementation team became frustrated all except our Payroll Manager. She was patient and work with us to get a great product. Even when we decided to leave Paychex, she follow-up to see if we still needed their services until our new payroll vendor was able to get our payroll set up in their system.
Cons
The system is hard to use. Many of the features convert back to original features. The system nor the training received from the implementaion team did not allow the Administrator to make minimal employee information changes. This was frustrating. Also, the assist feature was outdated and was hard to follow the steps to rectify an issue using the help assistant. As well, CSR was not able to assist with any issues either. Very frustrating.

For the most part positive. Over the years the number one overall best thing about Paychex is their customer service. The platform is easy to use and for the most part user friendly but their customer service is great!
Pros
For the most part well integrated and easy to use. Customer service is stellar compared to other companies that I deal with. They are also very response to comments on proposed changes in the portal, etc.
Cons
Pricing! It has increased quite a bit over the past couple of years with an actual decrease in what we get. And paying for hardware is a lot of money!

The product is decent but you do need to keep your eye on the product and processes. Tax filing can be an issue in some instances if you aren't paying close attention. The reporting could be better as there wasn't much user customisable offerings.

Cons

Just Okay?
Reviewed on 01/10/2024
Pros
I think one of the best features of Paychex Flex is the wide range of features it offers, including payroll processing, HR management tasks, and attendance tracking.
Cons
There are some notable cons:
The customer service is absolutely horrendous. It can take days to hear from your account manager. If you speak with a customer service representative, they always suggest contacting your account manager.
The website was completely unusable when trying to process payroll. If you had to make any adjustments, it could take a day of just lagging since everyone else was using the website.

Paychex Flex is a convenient and functional solution for both employers and employees. While it has room for improvement, it's still a solid choice for companies looking to streamline HR and payroll processes.
Pros
One of the standout features is the ability to view and manage payroll on the go. I can quickly check pay stubs, tax information, and even benefits, all in one place. It's also great for employees who need to clock in or out remotely to review their schedules. The flexibility to access this information at any time is a real plus.
Cons
The app can be slow to load at times. It also lacks few customization option that would make it more user-friendly, like the ability to set custom notifications or personalize the dashboard.

Our small family business was offered a flat $33/month service all inclusive by their sales rep. At the end of the year we were charged a surprise over $100 for W2 and year end reports processing. Talking to our rep led to no resolution. Talking to the manager resulted in one time credit only. The following year in 2023 they started charging $85/month until we noticed and contacted them. The new rep. (they always change) promised to look into it; in trying to follow up the answer was "I applied for an adjustment", but after several attempts to follow up she just stopped answering, no credit was issued. Eventually we quit them and received a call from their "retention specialist" who could not help with the past charges, but offered future discounts. They keep trying to process ACH payments 2 months after quitting, good we notified our bank to ignore the attempts. What a mess, would never expect this from a US based company.
Pros
