Take a closer look at what gives Paycom the edge

Manage all things HR, payroll and benefits in one place.
When we say a single software, we mean it. We achieved full-solution automation because from the very beginning, we designed Paycom to house every tool within a single software. No app hopping, roadblocks or rekeying that sacrifices security and data integrity. Employees enter their data once and it flows seamlessly and securely throughout our software. And if one event — such as a termination — requires a follow-up action like posting a new job, Paycom automatically anticipates and recommends it.
ADP’s “all-in-one” solution requires third-party integrations to achieve Paycom’s level of capabilities, resulting in disparate data, manual entry and reentry, inaccuracies, muddled reporting, compliance risks and limited automation due to stitched-together systems.
Slash payroll processing time by up to 90%* by putting it in employees’ hands.
Paycom’s Beti® takes processing payroll off your plate by automatically building it and empowering employees to find and fix errors to their payroll data before it’s run — so it’s always right. Say hello to accuracy, fewer post-payroll corrections and compliance you can count on.
With ADP, functions like time management and payroll often use different systems that don’t always connect. Plus, employees can’t ensure their check’s right before payday. This increases the chance of errors and forces you to manually address situations like raises and retroactive pay. And no real-time payroll leaves you with less insight.

Boost your bottom line by assessing employee adoption and usage in real time.
It’s impossible to achieve full ROI without employee usage. Paycom’s Direct Data Exchange® shows you the real-time ROI of the software in the software. With this industry-first tool, you see exactly how to maximize employee usage and reach the highest return — all from an easy-to-use dashboard.
ADP’s Self-Service Utilization dashboard shows an inaccurate and limited picture of employee usage and ROI. On top of this, they saddle your people with a difficult-to-use mobile app and an implementation process that leaves basic functionality — like offer letters and onboarding — untouched.
Get the dedicated service you need, when you need it.
You haven’t seen world-class service and response times like this. From the moment you become a client, you’re assigned a dedicated team with comprehensive knowledge of Paycom’s single software and the unique needs of your business.
ADP’s multi-app environment requires multiple service teams, each with knowledge of only one part of the system. The resulting confusion, lengthy hold times and service delays are everything you want to avoid when reaching out for assistance.
