Paychex Flex 4+

It would be nice if UI was a little easier to navigate. Maybe a one press instead of multiple. Like instead of the three bars, one press to view your hours for a pay period or your paycheck as you build hours. Important things like your paycheck. I also don’t like when I view my hours for my shift, I work graveyard, I have to press the back arrow on the pay period date to make the app change the date from when the pay period starts to when it ends. It has a weird date thing where it’s between that to the current shift you’re working, when it should just show your company’s pay period start and end date for that pay period. Mine is the first of the month to the 15th for a paycheck on the 25th. Then from the 16th to the last day of the month for a paycheck on the 10th. If I work on the 8th, it’ll show the 3rd to the 8th. Why not just show the first to the 8th? Up to the day I’m on the clock? Instead of making me change the date? It should already know?

There is no way this app has 5 star ratings from real people. I have problems with it every single day and I know it isn’t just me from reading these reviews and talking to others at work. When I open the app, there is about a 50% chance that the app will even load to get into the clock in screen, and if it does load, there is a 50% (probably less) chance that the clock in actually works. Usually it just greys out like it’s about to clock me in and just doesn’t. So, I have to reset my phone over and over (because if it greys out and the clock in doesn’t actually work and you reset the app to try again, the app won’t load) until it luckily decides to finally work. Usually when I’m at work I just give up and use our walk up computer to clock in/out (which begs the question, why does it load up flawlessly on the company computer but can’t on the phone?). However, when I’m working from home I have to sit for 20-30 minutes resetting my phone repeatedly in hopes that one of those times the app will both load up and clock me in. I gave up after over 20 minutes today and had to email our office lady to clock me in and adjust my time. It’s ridiculous how much time gets wasted by this garbage app that can’t even perform its only task.

Buttons missing, important ones like clock in, on the laptop, it doubles the hours when you have work entered then enter On-site pay. Since they removed the Classic version, the app has not worked. I contacted their help desk, their only response was for me to contact out HR. I complied and now she’s having issues getting through. I can’t clock in or use the app for the phone, I can see what hours I worked 2 weeks ago till Tuesday and can’t enter any more hours in. Lap top version is overly complicated and you spend several screen punches and 30 mins. Just to enter time for one day work times. The developers need to speak to those who actually have to use this app. We will be dropping this service since the Paychex rep told us “ it’s just the way it is now” unprofessional and ridged. Sad state of affairs. Don’t bother calling, using the help button on the app or emailing this company. They won’t return any correspondence.
