"We love using Paychex!"
What do you like best about Paychex Flex?

Paychex application makes adding new employees, making changes and processing payroll a breeze. They offer competitive pricing and their customer service has been responsive and helpful anytime we've reached out to them.

What do you dislike about Paychex Flex?

It would be helpful if we received an email notification payroll reminder two days prior to payroll to avoid expedited payroll fees.

What problems is Paychex Flex solving and how is that benefiting you?

We no longer have to calculate our own reports or calculate time off. We also benefit from Paychex assisting with 403b deductions.

They excel in all areas: Responsive customer support, easy to use on-line portal, good value for what you get, and they are very proactive in reacting to emerging payroll related issues, etc.
