Overview

Our payroll software helps calculate wages, manage deductions, and process payroll runs. We integrate payroll with time tracking, benefits, and HR systems to reduce errors and improve efficiency.

OneScreen Payroll gives you one dashboard to catch errors before you submit, so most teams run payroll in about 15 minutes. Complex pay, shift differentials, tips, commissions, multiple hourly rates, calculates natively, and multi-state tax filing is automated and included.

Pros

“Pricing isn't transparent on the website, and the quoted price tends to climb once you add modules like time tracking, HR services, or benefits — fees can stack up quickly for small businesses.”
KP

Kevin P.

Sales

“Overall, my experience with Paychex Flex has been positive. While the platform’s design and navigation could definitely be improved, it has been reliable for handling payroll and employee management consistently. Once you get used to the workflow, it becomes easier to manage day-to-day tasks and keeps everything centralized in one place.”

Sushant G.

CFO

“I began spending approximately 10–15 hours every week identifying errors, reconciling conflicting information, documenting problems, and tracking down people who might be able to correct them.”
AT

Arden T.

CEO

Pros

“Netchex can do pretty much all things HR: from payroll to annual evaluations and tracking of training and education.”
KH

Kevin H.

Director of Quality

“I like the accuracy and in the payroll and security which helps to ensure the privacy of each employee”
ES

Emily S.

Assistant Manager

“For example, NetChex automatically calculates overtime pay, taxes withheld, and retirement contributions based on predefined rules and employee information can save time and reduce the likelihood of errors compared to manual calculation.”
AY

Annie Y.

HR Manager

Cons

“Paychex Flex provides a functional foundation for payroll and HR management, but the user experience is hindered by technical inefficiencies and hidden costs. While the software covers the essentials, the steep learning curve for reporting and the reliance on support to perform basic administrative tasks make it feel less efficient than modern alternatives.”

Marquita V.

SALES MANAGER

“The platform suffers from an outdated, clunky interface that makes navigation cumbersome, often requiring too many clicks to toggle between employee and manager views.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Marquita V.

SALES MANAGER

“The user interface feels dated compared to newer competitors like Gusto or Rippling — navigation isn't always intuitive, and finding specific settings can require digging through several menus.”
KP

Kevin P.

Sales

Cons

“Let me give you a tiny snip of information to see what I am referring to: all holidays have to be manually added to timecards every time (there is no way to place your holidays in to auto place it for that day based on pay group etc.), no reports that are created can be ran to PDF, and while on reporting, there isn't a feature to search for what you are looking for.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Callie F.

HR Director

“Took months to get incorrect PTO numbers corrected for staff and Admin and still having issues with it not being quite right.”
ME

Mary E.

Team Lead

“If you are used to Paycom or are more modern in technology, this system will drive you crazy.”
