Social Media Community Guidelines

Paycom strives to create informative, engaging, supportive online communities where we can share information and have conversations.

We’ll do our best to talk candidly about the topics that are important to you, listen to your feedback, answer your questions and be transparent about sharing information and providing our perspective.

If you post to one of our social media channels or otherwise respond or comment on one of our posts or ads, please abide by these Community Guidelines, which we use to moderate content and comments that appear on our pages. Further, your use of our social media channels is subject to legal notices that are provided by us and/or the owner of the social media platform. Please bear in mind that the comments and responses you read on our channels that are not posted by us come from members of the public. The content of these comments (including opinions and statements) posted on our channels does not necessarily reflect the views of the social media site or its owner and is the responsibility of the individuals posting them.

We strive to create an inspiring, supportive, fun community on our social media channels, so we ask that all users heed the following Community Guidelines:

1. Stay on Topic and Be Respectful

First and foremost, we ask that everyone show respect for other members of our social media communities.

We encourage and welcome your comments and feedback, provided that you share your viewpoint in a way that is respectful to us and our community and is not inappropriate, off-topic, abusive, harassing, profane or promoting/soliciting third-party sites, initiatives or products.

This is not the right forum to ask questions about product use, solicit business or request donations. Please reach out to your dedicated Paycom Specialist for those topics.

We reserve the right to reject or remove comments that are not in keeping with our policy and block or ban users/followers who violate this policy.

2. Legal and Regulatory Issues

Because we are a public company, there are certain topics we won’t be able or willing to talk about here, and some of your discussions may need to be redirected or curtailed for the same reason. By way of example, we ask that you refrain from posting comments that contain:

• third-party intellectual property, such as any copyright-protected material (art, music, videos, written text) or any trademarks or logos, except with the express consent of the owners of such intellectual property;
• performances, or parts thereof, that have been broadcast, streamed, published, televised or recorded as part of a motion picture;
• information plagiarized from another source;
• photos and/or videos, including those depicting individuals, unless the photographer (and, where applicable, the depicted individual, and if the depicted individual is a child, the child’s parents or legal guardian) or videographer has expressly consented to such use;
• the names of any individuals and/or other information that could allow anyone to identify the individual(s), such as an address, phone number, Social Security number, license plate number, hometown, school, etc., unless those individuals have expressly consented to such use;
• the names, photographs, voices or other likeness of celebrities, either living or dead, whether favorable or unfavorable;
• inappropriate comments or inferences about our competitors (for example, disparaging comments or any statements about their products);
• information that is false, inaccurate or misleading;
• product usage information;
• third-party confidential or non-public information;
• predatory conduct toward minors;
• libel, slander or defamation of character;
• threats;
• inappropriate or “off-color” statements;
• text, pictures or images that could be described as obscene, profane, lewd, crude, vulgar, offensive, provocative or pornographic or containing gang signs or symbols, gun imagery, political or religious propaganda, derogatory characterizations of any ethnic, racial, sexual or religious group, depictions of alcohol or drug abuse or promotion of illegal activity of any kind;
• links to other websites;
• advertising;
• spam; and
• software viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs or any other computer code or files or disabling mechanisms that are designed to disrupt, damage or limit the functioning of any software, hardware, telecommunications equipment or that interferes with the operation of the social media site.

By posting, you are promising us that your post complies with these guidelines and doesn’t contain any of the restricted content listed above. We reserve the right to remove any comment that violates these guidelines or the restricted content listed above. We also reserve the right to block any offenders from our channels.

3. Comment Moderation and Response

We will do our best to moderate and respond quickly to your comments and feedback. Generally, we check in several times a day during business hours and once on non-business days. Please remember, though, that this forum contains the opinions and views of other users. Although we are moderating our channels to help ensure that users’ posts comply with these guidelines, we cannot be responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any comments or materials posted by users.

4. Professional Advice

Please keep in mind that our authors have knowledge of the topics and fields they write about, but our posts are informational and should not be viewed as professional advice.

5. We May Use Your Posts

By posting on one or more of our social media channels, you understand that your posts, and any ideas or techniques contained in them, may be freely used by us in any way and in any media, including on this forum, on our other websites and social media pages and in our business. Accordingly, please do not submit any ideas or materials that you wish to keep confidential or for which you expect to receive compensation. In addition, when you post in any of our social media channels, your name, likeness and social media handle will be visible and associated with your post, and if we re-use your post elsewhere, we may display your name, likeness and handle there as well.

6. Additional Considerations

Your comment, response or other posting may also be submitted to law enforcement if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to detect and prevent fraud or protect the safety of the public or an individual.
