WHY PAYCOM? PAYROLL AND HR SOLUTIONS IN A SINGLE SOFTWARE
One software. One database. Accurate payroll and automated human resources
Paycom is the only provider that offers payroll services and HR tools in a single software built on a single database. No data reentry. No juggling systems.
Automation
True automation starts with a single database
Most businesses run human resources and payroll processing across multiple systems. According to a Forrester Consulting study, companies use an average of 6.17 HCM providers. That many systems create data silos, broken workflows and inaccurate payroll reports.
Paycom is different. Our single software keeps all employee information in one place, with one login and no data reentry. Payroll builds itself by pulling data live. It catches errors and guides employees to fix them before submission, so your payroll manager isn’t chasing corrections after the fact.
And automation doesn’t stop at payroll. From recruiting and onboarding to benefits, scheduling, expenses and compliance reporting, only Paycom automates workflows across the employee life cycle with rules-based decisioning.
Storing employee data in multiple HCM databases limits access and compromises accuracy

ROI
Payroll software that proves its own worth
Choosing a payroll company is a big decision. You need to know it’s worth the investment. Paycom doesn’t just promise ROI. We measure it.
An independent Total Economic Impact™ study by Forrester Consulting found that a composite organization achieved a 362% three-year ROI using Paycom’s full-solution automation. That includes over 45% total time saved by HR and 80% time saved on compliance work. Forrester’s 362% ROI finding is independently conducted and publicly published.
On top of that, our Direct Data Exchange® tool tracks how your employees use our software and calculates the ROI their usage generates. EY found that the average cost of one manual HR task has risen to $4.86, which adds up fast for midsized businesses and large organizations alike. Direct Data Exchange uses this data to highlight the savings you achieve by adopting automated processes and identifies where there’s opportunity to save more.
