It's allowed us to set up employees who work and live in the same state, in different states, ones who travel essentially year-round, and more, and have the taxes squared away for us. It's great for users as well, as it allows us, as users, to manage retirement (401k), manage direct deposit, and even manage taxes, right from the employee login. We don't use time clocks, so no time tracking is needed. Customer support has been amazing, helping solve issues as soon as something pops up. Great value for what it provides. It's extremely easy to view and pay bills, as well as employees. > > **Cons**: The taxes calculated aren't perfect for cross-state employees, but it's very close. We don't use time clocks, as we're all salaried, so no tracking needed, but the communication features are somewhat lacking, and we do not use any to communicate with employees, rather doing so via phone calls or in-person. > > I am not a top-level administrator for Paychex Flex, so my usage is more limited to our specific branch and ensuring paychecks are accurate, coordinating with our main branch in Canada to ensure the AP department has released paychecks not just on-time, but early, which has allowed Paychex Flex to deposit some employees checks as early as Wednesday. From an employee-usage side, it's a great way to easily access pay stubs, W-2s, retirement funds, and more, with almost zero hassle. ----- ### "Paychex is great\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *January 29, 2026* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, good customer service and excellent reporting capabilities for my small business. Would use again. > > **Cons**: Lack of robust features that would help me expand my business if needed but in reality it was perfect for my size business. ----- ### "Very Helpful once learnt" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *April 23, 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer Support is very helpful, reliably works for my company, customizable Mobile applications work well > > **Cons**: Not always intuitive, needed to ask several questions before I initially found what I was looking for. Custom report creation could be easier > > Very happy with the system. Some automations would be more helpful but overall I am satisfied and enjoy working with the customer success and support departments ----- ### "Over Priced, Over Charges for everything and Over Complicated" — 1.0/5 > **Charlene** | *March 23, 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: What did I like most about Paychex Flex. I have no Pro's for this company at all. I would never recommend them to any company. > > **Cons**: They are way Over priced and Over Complicated. And prior tax issues when they file them, they don't get it handled promptly. > > Paychex has no integrity. They over charge for everything. When you try to dispute items they have already charged your bank account, and it's too late. ----- ### "Great program so easy to use\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jovon** | *February 25, 2026* | Commercial Real Estate Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and the mobile app. Sometimes I'm on the go i cover several sites the fact that i can just use my phone to clock in and out as well as put in any request i have in the app directly is so convienent. > > **Cons**: I don't like that it takes you directly to the new version and not the original 1st. I have not had time to familiarize myself with all the new features yet from the ones i have used this is very easy to use. > > It is a very easy program to use it is clear and concise not confusing at all\! I especially like the ease of it\! ----- Page: 1 / 73\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/111111/paychex-flex?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/111111/paychex-flex) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
