PayFocus - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

PayFocus by BenefitMall is an online payroll and human resources solution built to help simplify the way small businesses manage their employees' basic HR needs. PayFocus is a feature-rich, intuitive platform with a streamlined interface for managing payroll and running reports. It provides a self-service portal for employees, and helps organizations with employee onboarding, time clock management, and accurate, compliant tax processing. Payroll notifications for important payroll-related processing and reporting activities can be viewed online, through email or in the PayFocus Mobile App (now available in both the iTunes® and Google Play® app stores).

The self-service portal enables employees to log in and start the onboarding process, providing efficiency and eliminating errors. Employees can also update personal information, as well as view and download personal data such as paystubs and W-2s online, as well as through the PayFocus Mobile App. PayFocus helps to ensure that payroll is accurate and on-time, all taxes are paid, and compliance issues are handled.

Payroll Administrators can import time clock files directly into PayFocus to help eliminate double entry. An organizational chart enables users to streamline the organization’s positions, departments and locations, as well as add employee contact information. Administrators can also assign and edit managers to employees using the manager assignment feature.

PayFocus ensures compliance with federal and state regulations, and keeps up-to-date with state and federal tax filing and deposits. The solution also provides access to BenefitMall’s knowledgeable, dedicated payroll specialists for all kinds of support and help, whenever necessary.
