Product speaks for itself > > Fantastic product. Consumer service is excellent as well ----- ### "Easy app to use" — 5.0/5 > **Lorana** | *September 20, 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: With paychex flex I like that there is an app and eveyting is so easy to keep track of. > > **Cons**: Everything is accsesible and so easy to use ----- ### "The Most Incredible Payroll App" — 5.0/5 > **Sujata** | *August 30, 2024* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One stop shop for HR solutions and saves a lot of time. It can be accessed anywhere, even on cellphone. > > **Cons**: Could work on improving customer support. ----- ### "Great for Employers and Employees" — 5.0/5 > **Nicholas** | *March 3, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love Paychex Flex for, dare I say, it's flexibility. 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. ----- ### "Great Product for mid to large agencies" — 4.0/5 > **Theresa** | *March 2, 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that the self-service aspect of the products and the ease of use. Customer support was good and for the size of my previous company the cost was good. > > **Cons**: When I downsized I had some issues that they were not able to resolve. It was not on them though so I had to go with another company. > > Overall they are a great company and Paychex Flex was great when I had a larger agency great products. ----- Page: 1 / 73\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/119841/paychex-flex?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/119841/paychex-flex) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
