Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Paycom Soft's ethical profile is mixed. Recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Most Trustworthy Companies and praised for "happiest employees" with benefits like $1 health insurance. Yet, scrutiny exists. In 2023, a securities class action lawsuit alleged misrepresentation of its Beti product. The same year, a data breach affecting 21,451 individuals resulted in a $900,000 settlement. Conversely, Paycom was named the American Hospital Association's Preferred Cybersecurity Provider, underscoring its ISO 27001 certified data security. Community support includes a $50,000 donation to the National Juneteenth Museum. Corporate campuses run on 100% wind energy.
