It's allowed us to set up employees who work and live in the same state, in different states, ones who travel essentially year-round, and more, and have the taxes squared away for us. It's great for users as well, as it allows us, as users, to manage retirement (401k), manage direct deposit, and even manage taxes, right from the employee login. We don't use time clocks, so no time tracking is needed. Customer support has been amazing, helping solve issues as soon as something pops up. Great value for what it provides. It's extremely easy to view and pay bills, as well as employees. > > **Cons**: The taxes calculated aren't perfect for cross-state employees, but it's very close. We don't use time clocks, as we're all salaried, so no tracking needed, but the communication features are somewhat lacking, and we do not use any to communicate with employees, rather doing so via phone calls or in-person. > > I am not a top-level administrator for Paychex Flex, so my usage is more limited to our specific branch and ensuring paychecks are accurate, coordinating with our main branch in Canada to ensure the AP department has released paychecks not just on-time, but early, which has allowed Paychex Flex to deposit some employees checks as early as Wednesday. From an employee-usage side, it's a great way to easily access pay stubs, W-2s, retirement funds, and more, with almost zero hassle. ----- ### "Great for companies with smaller payrolls" — 4.0/5 > **Samantha** | *23 February 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was very easy to use and navigate the website. Onboarding was simple and running payroll was smooth. > > **Cons**: Paychex unfortunately could not keep up with my growing business, and the tax filing was not up to the level that needed for the growth we are having. > > It was overall very pleasant, if you have smaller payroll and in singular states, I would recommend. The customer service is great and the communication with service team is always very prompt. ----- ### "Decent Product, Not Scaleable" — 2.0/5 > **David** | *22 December 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Paychex Flex was not necessarily an easy to use product, but almost easy navigating around. Unfortunately, we did run into a lot of issues with the product and the support was lacking. Once you got to the right place, it was easier. > > **Cons**: Honestly, everything about Paychex Flex is lacking. Unfortunately, there software is lacking coming into the new age and it extremely outdated. The User interface is just a bunch of different modules integrated with eachother and not really user friendly. For the money, I would spend a little more and go elsewhere. ----- ### "Great Product for mid to large agencies" — 4.0/5 > **Theresa** | *2 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that the self-service aspect of the products and the ease of use. Customer support was good and for the size of my previous company the cost was good. > > **Cons**: When I downsized I had some issues that they were not able to resolve. It was not on them though so I had to go with another company. > > Overall they are a great company and Paychex Flex was great when I had a larger agency great products. ----- ### "Great program so easy to use\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jovon** | *25 February 2026* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and the mobile app. Sometimes I'm on the go i cover several sites the fact that i can just use my phone to clock in and out as well as put in any request i have in the app directly is so convienent. > > **Cons**: I don't like that it takes you directly to the new version and not the original 1st. I have not had time to familiarize myself with all the new features yet from the ones i have used this is very easy to use. > > It is a very easy program to use it is clear and concise not confusing at all\! I especially like the ease of it\! ----- Page: 1 / 73\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/111111/paychex-flex?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/111111/paychex-flex) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
