…y and will cost you time as well as constantly erasing your clock in. And now you have to request someone to put you in manually. If I could give these people no stars, I would
Manual work…’t even register your clock in even though it says you’ve clocked in. The two things I hate most is how I have to reset my password often and accept every single paycheck.
Strong complaint…time in and out because without it I'd be screwed trusting this app. I wish my company would've stuck with UKG🙁🙁🙁
Wishes it existed…being able to make them yourself and gain approval from management. It isn’t the worst but it definitely not easy
Paycom — Can’t believe people choose to use this program I’ve never met one fellow employee who doesn’t HATE paycom. I’ve been locked out of my schedule and payroll because I have to reset a new password. Again. AND the website is refusing all my new password attempts with no reason or explanation. Super glitchy…

Questions about this idea
- Is Frustration with Paycom Functionality a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 13 different people described it independently, in 13 mentions, the earliest from 27 Jul 2026 and the most recent from 29 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 4 people raised it in the last 30 days and 3 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.

Paycom failing to register clock-ins or silently erasing punches leaves workers missing hours and constantly fighting for manual time adjustments. We tracked down 13 people who had to take screenshots of their shifts or deal with password loops just to ensure they got paid for their actual work. If your punches vanished, how long did it take to get your missing pay sorted with HR, and what finally worked to resolve it?
