Payroll & HR

Paycom

Paycom is a cloud-based human capital management provider in Oklahoma City that runs payroll and HR from a single database. The design is meant to remove re-entry between systems: candidate and new-hire information populates systemwide, approved time flows into payroll, and payroll self-starts from live employee data.

The product set spans talent acquisition, payroll, talent management, time and labor management and HR management, including Beti automated payroll, Everyday daily payroll, garnishment administration, payroll tax management, expense management, benefits administration and enrollment, COBRA administration, performance management, compensation budgeting, learning, time clocks and terminals, geofencing, and employee self-service. Employees themselves review and correct their own payroll before submission.

Paycom is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under PAYC and reports more than 39,000 clients and coverage in over 190 countries through Global HCM. It operates its own data centers, which it says are Tier IV certified, and holds ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27701 and ISO/IEC 42001 certifications along with SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports, audited annually.
