We have utilized Paycom for close to a Decade for their Payroll and HR services however they have now been charging our organization fees to make corrections that only occurred due to the Paycom teams negligence and inability to complete requested tasks. During 2024 Paycom charged our organization to make prior period adjustments for a remote employee whose tax profiles were not setup when requested at hiring and when the issue was brought to their attention, we had been told to just use the same tax profile as our other employees while they complete the setup. It took them nearly 9 months to complete this task and we had been told that the employees tax withholdings would be corrected. When the W2 for the employee was issued, the corrections had not been completed and this individuals Tax withholdings were incorrect. Paycom then required us to pay a processing fee to them in order to correct the issue. 1 year later, the same employee has the same error in their W2 and Paycom requested we pay an additional fee for the correction. The fee was paid via wire on 3/13/2025 however Paycom has failed to provide the corrected tax documents and when the documents are requested, we are told that "Leadership needs to review the invoice before services could be completed." Paying fees for mistakes caused by Paycom and Paycom's failure to provide services after they have received their requested payment is appalling and duplicitous. Do not recommend using their services.Business Response

Paycom has cost me huge in the past few weeks. I requested reports be uploaded to my account, one set for one company one set for another. It took days to process the first request and then it was processed wrong. They swapped what I needed for each location. This caused me to lose my timely filing discount with the city. Making problems worse they did not deliver my paychecks for my employees for two weeks. I spent every day for a week on the phone with paycom wanting to know where my reports were and where my checks were. No answer ever came. I was getting conflicting answers from everyone I spoke to and amazingly never could I get through to the same person. I'd call and ask for the name I was given and every single time I was told that person was unavailable and I would have to start explaining the entire situation over again. I can't tell you how many times I was shuffled from one person to another to start my complaint over again. Sometimes I was told a supervisor would call me back (No call back ever came) sometimes I was just told to be patient I'm sure payroll will arrive soon. Paycom actually said it was my fault that this had gone so far because I should have just written the checks for them. Forget that I pay them to process these checks and for delivery. Making things even worse after spending days on the phone with them, never being told a consistent story and trying to get any form of assistance. I logged in today from the same computer I have been using for years and was told I couldn't make changes to my account. Seems they upgraded the security and I need to speak to my team specialist. The same guy who couldn't generate a basic report has locked me out of my own payroll. No one told me this was coming, no one said it was going to need to be updated. So now its after five on Friday and I have to wait till next week to handle a basic task. I'm willing to bet when I call next week & ask for my specialist he wont be able to answerBusiness Response

Paycom mishandled a Tax Bonus from 2023 Q4. They did not process our requests to fix it in a timely manner. It took SIX MONTHS for them to request funds in the amount of $2,500 in fee's for processing our request. At which point we said to cancel the request because it's been too long and don't want the adjustment now. We HAD to pay the additional fee's in order for our regular bi-weekly payroll to be processed. Prior to us providing the full funds, *********************** assured me we would get a refund. Time passed, I followed up, not them, and of course the refund request was denied. I asked it be put in again. Then spoke with supervisor ******************************* who again assured we'd be refunded $1,450 in fees. as of 8/2/24 ****** states yet again the refund is denied. No communicati on their end until they want fees for issues they aren't even taking care of until half a year later. Horrible customer service and I'm sure when we cancel their services we will be charged.Business Response

I used Paycom for nearly a year, The customer service is awful and they Nickle and dime you to death. I am the owner of the business and I never received my tax docs. Now they are saying I have to pay for these docs. They will not bend even though they wont prove to me it was delivered to me in the first place. I am pretty sure that it is the law for paycom to supply these docs for free. Every person I spoke to passed the buck. Left and moved back to *******. Much better serviceBusiness Response

I was with them for the entirety of 2022 and 2023. Due to their services being more expensive, I decided to switch from PayComm to ADP payroll.During our exit with Paycomm, I realized that they were charging me $125 a week for expedited payroll. However, when I checked with my team, we had only utilized the expedited payroll service maybe once or twice over 2 years. That means they have potentially charged me with up to $13000 in incorrect charges When I asked them to refund the money that was incorrectly charged to me they refused it without any reason given.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Hello, you team has told me that they will not be refunding me the incorrect charges. You have left me no option but to seek legal council. I have also found that a lot of other DSPs have a similar issue of surprise fees. This a bad business practice.

We switched to Paycom for our payroll for 1 pay period and it was such a nightmare we immediately pulled the plug and went back to our former payroll provider. No training was provided and the system is NOT user-friendly. Despite asking multiple times for the payroll reports needed for the one period they did complete, they are now telling us, that it's past 30 days and we have to pay them to get the reports from them now. Even though we paid them for that payroll period. We are asking that they send us the reports needed for our CPA without a fee.Customer Answer

We retained Paycom's services effective 4/1/2023 to process payroll. Our entire experience with them from onboarding to processing to tax filing was beyond awful. We terminated their services effective 1/1/2024 with their final responsibility being to file our 4Q2023 returns, prepare and provide 2023 W2s and distribute 2023 ACA forms. We received an invoice with no due date from Paycom prior to their completing those tasks. On 2/19/24 we received notice that they failed to file a local tax. At that time we notified Paycom that we would withhold payment of their invoice until all final services were completed and they provided proof of same. They failed to properly correct their tax filing mistake so we re-created and filed the return in order to avoid penalties and interest. On 2/28/24 we informed them that we had done their work for them and that we were still holding payment of their invoice until we received proof of all 4Q2023 tax filings and until they had distributed the 1095 forms. Hearing nothing from them, we reached out on 3/4/24 and again on 3/19/24 to inquire about the 1095 forms as the paper filing deadline of 2/28/24 had passed. We inquired whether the 1095s were going to be filed and distributed electronically by the 4/1/24 deadline. On 3/21/24 we received an email that stated that the invoice - which had no due date and which was for services that had not been rendered - had a balance due and that was preventing the 1095s from being released.They had almost a month's notice that we had an issue with the invoice but couldn't be bothered with reaching out to discuss our concerns. This company is the shoddiest and most unethical one I've worked with over the 30+ years I've been in the professional accounting field. They make an unacceptable amount of errors, they lack any accountability, and their communication/support is abysmal. They don't know what they're doing and they don't care how frustrated their customers are.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because no one from Paycom is attempting to work with us on a solution. Demanding payment for services not performed or performed with errors which a client needed to correct and not discounting said invoice is not "working with" a client. What Paycom is doing is holding necessary forms hostage and bullying us into a corner. This after not communicating for almost a month is the furthest thing from excellent customer service.Provide the ***** by the April 1st deadline. Provide proof of all 4Q2023 tax filings. Those are the only acceptable solutions.

I am rejecting this response because: we have asked your team multiple times to confirm and supply proof of filing of the 1095s with the IRS. To date they have not responded. Paycom's communication is beyond poor - iI would describe it as bordering on non-existent. Please instruct your "team" to answer our requests and provide the information.

I paid Paycom ****** for hr and payroll service, in the beginning they weren't ready, and it caused me to lose my client because they went with another company. Then I was trying to get up and running and they kept trying to get me to run a payroll with no employees. I told them I had not signed any new contracts yet. Well months later I asked if I could use the service because I had not used it yet, ******* the Inside Salesperson told me I would have to pay again because they had deleted my account and that I would have to start all over. I feel either they must render a service or give me my money back. How you delete an account and there is no service. Isn't that illegal?Business Response

Paycom was our payroll provider for a year or more. During that time, they made numerous errors including paying the wrong taxing municipalities. Once discovered they required us to pay the correct amounts to the correct taxing authorities and to then seek reimbursement from those paid in error by Paycom. Paycom came back to us on at least two occasions requesting additional funds, the latest totally $651, without providing documentation. We were told unless we paid the sums requested, they would not file the amendments to allow us to retrieve the funds paid by them in error. We have paid all requested funds and yet have received no verification or timeline for the repayment of funds paid in error (totaling more than $2,800). We have since terminated our agreement with Paycom.Business Response
