A Great Place to Work: Paycom Nationally Recognized for Happiest Employees, Best Perks & Benefits

Abraham Mendieta | February 20, 2026

When it comes to job hunting, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a new opportunity and overlook one of the most important parts of your compensation package: work benefits.

According to SHRM’s 2025 Employee Benefits Survey, 88% of employers consider health benefits very or extremely important. For job seekers, finding a best place to work means choosing a company that supports your whole self, both professionally and personally.

A holistic approach to work benefits

At Paycom, benefits are more than just a checklist item. They are a core part of our people-first philosophy. We are proud to offer some of the most competitive work benefits available today.

Our employees agree, which is why Paycom has been recognized by Comparably for Best Perks & Benefits, Best Work-Life Balance and Happiest Employees.

So what sets Paycom apart as a best place to work? It starts with industry-leading employee health insurance, including $1-per-pay-period individual coverage. Paycom employees also enjoy benefits like a 401(k) with generous matching, paid family leave and pet insurance. One Paycom employee shared on Comparably, “The benefits and pay are the best I’ve experienced in my career so far.”

Supporting total well-being

We believe great work benefits extend beyond medical coverage. That is why Paycom offers comprehensive wellness resources, including:

  • in-house well-being advisers
  • on-site interfaith spaces
  • weekly guided meditation sessions
  • access to mental and financial wellness tools

These offerings help reinforce why Paycom continues to be recognized as a best place to work for long-term career growth.

“Loud vacationing” and meaningful time off

At Paycom, we actively encourage employees to use their time away from work.

Through GONE®, a feature of our Time-Off Requests tool, employees can easily manage time off and recharge without stress. In addition to generous PTO, our work benefits include:

  • parental leave to support new parents
  • adoption and foster leave
  • secondary caregiver support
  • sick leave and bereavement time

A people-first culture with real employee perks

Benefits alone do not define a best place to work. Culture matters just as much. Paycom prioritizes experiences that bring employees together and foster connection, including:

  • celebrating National Payroll Week with food and friendly competition
  • giving back through volunteerism and our employee giving program
  • supporting a culture of belonging through employee resource groups
  • learning and development opportunities for all employees

A career at Paycom also includes standout employee perks, such as:

  • free access to on-campus fitness centers
  • $4 catered lunches at corporate offices
  • an employee stock purchase program
  • exclusive employee discounts to local and national stores, cafes, amusement parks, websites and more

These employee discounts and perks are designed to make everyday life more affordable while enhancing the overall employee experience.
