Small business payroll software

Why Paycom

Because payroll shouldn’t be a growing pain

When you run a tight ship, everything on your plate can seem huge. Whether you need to ensure a constant cash flow or make the most out of your time, an error-prone and time-consuming payroll process keeps you from focusing on the business of your business. Try taking shortcuts with unreliable tech or risky workarounds, and you could expose your employee data to cyber threats.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Paycom’s full-solution automation ensures a quick, stress-free and accurate payroll process protected by our formally audited and ISO- and SOC-certified security standards. So you can get back to winning new customers, building your brand and focusing on the future of your organization.

HOW WE HELP

Payroll built to keep you moving

Since data flows seamlessly into payroll within our single small business payroll software, it self-starts each period, so you never have to rekey a thing. Plus, our tech automatically finds errors and guides your employees to fix them before submission to ensure perfect payroll every time. We’ll even issue checks off our account — not yours — to reduce bank charges and simplify your ledger. And as our experts handle the hassle of payroll taxes, you’ll finally have the space you need to focus on the big picture.

Learn more about Paycom’s payroll software for small business

Yes! But keep in mind, not all automated payroll software is built the same. Paycom’s skillfully designed software provides just the right amount of automation combined with human checkpoints and system alerts for the most accurate payroll.

Many small businesses rely on an executive or office manager — with little to no payroll experience — to process payroll in basic payroll accounting systems. These tools appeal to small businesses because the upfront costs are lower.

However, huge expenses exist on the back end: tax compliance issues, fines, civil penalties and tons of needlessly allocated hours. Add those up and you’ve spent more on the cheaper tool than you would have on a comprehensive payroll software solution.

Employers should consider the best options for their employee head count, industry and employee types (hourly, salary, billable, full-time, temporary, etc.). As your business grows, even modest increases in head count unlock new compliance burdens. Your processes will quickly become more established and need to be streamlined.

Be sure to consider the employee experience and how the right tool can actually help with employee retention. Meet with a Paycom representative today and let us guide you through the decision-making process.

Several payroll services for small business are available, but we truly believe that Paycom’s single software provides the best experience for your small business and your employees. Don’t just take our word for it; let us show you the Paycom difference. Meet with us to see for yourself.

If you want to build and expand your business, with the highest and best use of your time, you definitely need payroll software. Otherwise, manual calculations, tax errors, legal issues and other time-consuming problems await the business owner who takes payroll into their own hands.

With Paycom, you’re assigned a dedicated specialist who truly knows your business. All our support representatives are U.S.-based, super responsive and have backgrounds in payroll. We don’t believe in phone trees or customer queues because you deserve better.
