What Paycom is
Paycom is a cloud-based human capital management platform that brings payroll and HR into one place. Its software covers payroll, talent acquisition, time and labor management, talent management, and HR management, as well as employee records, onboarding, performance management, and time tracking. Beti starts payroll each pay period, flags errors, and guides employees through reviewing and approving their pay before submission. Self-service tools let employees manage information such as direct deposit, benefits, time off, schedules, expenses, training, and paychecks. The Android and iOS app supports HR and payroll tasks, though some functions depend on employer settings; web access is also available. Paycom says its single-database software does not require third-party integrations, while its data services include API, SFTP, EDI, and custom file converter options. It describes security measures including 256-bit encryption, two-step verification, SAML 2.0 single sign-on, and an unchangeable audit trail. Paycom serves businesses of all sizes and says its Global HCM offering supports workforce management across more than 190 countries. Pricing is customized and available on request.
