Experience Truly Human Support

Paycom relies on a self-service HR feature where employees and employers submit HR-related questions through their mobile app or website.*

With Paychex, you get access to 200+ compliance professionals, and a proactive HR Business Partner (HRBP) to provide support in addressing evolving regulations.

Work with an HR expert and receive HR advice

Offer Better Benefits

Paycom lacks essential employee benefits like retirement plans and health coverage, making it less ideal for businesses focused on supporting their teams.*

Along with payroll and HR solutions, Paychex offers robust retirement and health benefit options designed to help you attract and retain top talent.

Built To Adapt to Your Changing Needs

Paycom offers a one-size-fits-all payroll package with limited customization options, and they don’t offer a PEO option, workers’ compensation, or merchant services.*

With Paychex, you can choose from multiple flexible, customizable payroll and HR packages, including PEO. Our solutions can be tailored to fit your unique business needs. Paychex adapts to you as your business grows, not the other way around.

One Paychex Flex system for all clients, on desktop or mobile devices

Next Level Handbook Support

Paycom lacks an employee handbook builder, offering only the "Ask Here" feature for limited support.*

Paychex takes HR support to the next level with its employee handbook builder, comprehensive HR Library, and access to expert HR Business Partners.
