A Great Place to Work: Paycom Nationally Recognized for Happiest Employees, Best Perks & Benefits

Abraham Mendieta | October 25, 2024

When it comes to job hunting, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a new opportunity and overlook one of the most crucial aspects of your compensation package: employee benefits.

According to the 2024 SHRM Employee Benefits Survey, 88% of employers consider health benefits “very” or “extremely important.” But as a potential employee, it’s essential to find a company that helps you bring your whole self to work.

A holistic approach

At Paycom, benefits are more than just a nice-to-have. We’re proud to offer some of the best benefits in the industry. But don’t just take our word for it.

Our employees have spoken, and it’s why we’ve been named Best Company Perks & Benefits, Best Work-Life Balance and Happiest Employees by Comparably.

So what sets Paycom apart? For starters, we offer $1-per-pay-period individual health insurance, 401(k) with generous matching, paid family leave and pet insurance. One Paycom employee told Comparably, “The benefits and pay are the best I’ve experienced in my career so far.”

But we believe that benefits go beyond just the basics. That’s why we offer a range of mental health services, including:

  • in-house well-being advisors
  • on-site interfaith spaces
  • weekly guided meditation sessions
  • access to mental and financial wellness tools

Loud Vacationing

In 2023, 62% of workers with PTO didn’t use all of their vacation time, leaving a third of it to waste, according to a new report from fintech company Sorbet.

Paycom provides generous time off, and we encourage employees to use it. And with GONE®, a feature of our Time-Off Requests tool, employees can easily manage their time off and ensure they’re taking the breaks they need to recharge.

In addition to paid time off, we’re proud to offer:

  • parental leave to support new parents and assist in the tricky balancing act that is work and family
  • adoption/foster leave for employees adopting or becoming foster parents
  • secondary caregiver support for shorter-term paid leave to look after the child when in employees’ care
  • sick leave and time off for bereavement of friends, families and pets

People-first culture

Benefits are just one part of the equation. Our culture is also a critical component of what makes Paycom a great place to work. We prioritize events and experiences that bring our employees together, including:

  • celebrating our hard work during National Payroll Week with food, fun and friendly competition
  • giving back to our communities through volunteerism, our employee giving program and company dollar-for-dollar match
  • championing diversity, equity and inclusion in our employee resource groups (ERGs)
  • learning and development opportunities open to all employees

A career at Paycom also comes with plenty of perks, like:

  • free access to on-campus fitness centers at our corporate offices
  • $4 catered lunches at our corporate offices
  • an employee stock purchase program plan
  • exclusive discounts to local and national stores, cafes, amusement parks, websites and more

We’re committed to creating a culture of support and happiness that goes beyond just the basics, and we’re always looking for talented individuals to join our team.
