## Reviews

### "It is very easy to use and has great support" — 4.0/5

> **Lillian** | *18 April 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Still happy with Paychex Flex" — 5.0/5

> **Cynthia** | *1 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease and accuracy of use. Also, when we have a question, we get an answer quickly. Reps are always pleasant.
> 
> **Cons**: We have one PTO matter that no one seems to be able to explain why it exists. We have a workaround, but it's hard to believe there's no explanation.
> 
> Our experience overall has been very satisfactory. The platform interfaces well with our timekeeping system so payroll processing takes much less time.

### "Unless you are very small and need only simple reports, look elsewhere." — 1.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *4 August 2025* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Only positive is that it is cheaper than other payroll companies and very easy to use.  It is vey hard to find anything very positive with all my experience with Paychex.
> 
> **Cons**: Customer service is not very pleasant to deal with when I had to call and place complaints for mistakes on Paychex's part.  I would not trust them with proper tax filings, they have very basic reports and you have to call for any report that may be a regular report for you but is not one of their very basic reports.
> 
> Sorry to be so blunt, but it was a complete nightmare.  I have worked with two companies in a row, where I cam in and they were using Paychex.  Both places begged me to find a better payroll provider that met their needs.  Each time I found a new payroll provider that could supply the employer with what fit their needs (and yes it was two different payroll providers).

### "Paychex is a go to for businesses" — 5.0/5

> **Dalton** | *28 November 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: User interface is easy to use and easy to find info your looking for ( hourly pay rate, vacation and sick time off ) and with requesting time off it’s easily communicated to my employer.
> 
> **Cons**: In the five years of using paychex if I would over 10 hours its stops logging my time but thankfully there a option to clock out they my employer can see so my paycheck comes out with the correct time logged
> 
> It’s a great application for our work in a small business setting for us the workers and owners to stay communicated on our pay rate, and tracking how much vacation time in sick time we have for the year

-----

### "Great Product" — 5.0/5

> **Kim** | *7 April 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and understand.  Everyone always so helpful when I need answers or assistance
> 
> **Cons**: Not what I least about Paychex Flex, but that they offer a lot and don't have time to implement and notify employees.  But good stuff they offer
