Paycom

Cloud HR and payroll software that lets employees manage their own data, for mid-sized and larger employers.

About Paycom

Paycom is a human capital management platform that combines HR and payroll in a single database. It aims to reduce administrative work by automating routine decisions and workflows across the employee life cycle.

Employees enter and manage their own HR and payroll information, and changes made in one tool carry through the rest of the software. The company says this removes the need for data re-entry and for switching between separate applications.

  • Beti: automated payroll in which employees can check and correct their own pay data before payroll is run.
  • GONE: automated decisions on time-off requests.
  • IWant: a command-driven AI search of employee profiles, applicant data, company policies and dashboards.
  • Direct Data Exchange: a dashboard showing how employees are using the software.

Each client is assigned a dedicated service team. Paycom states that it holds ISO and SOC certified security standards and runs its own servers. Its ROI figures come from studies commissioned by Paycom, based on composite organisations, so treat them as vendor claims.

Paycom is based in the United States. Its listed service areas are the US, Canada, Mexico, Ireland and the UK; availability for Ghana and other African countries is not stated on the page.
