Why You Should Choose Inova Over Paychex

Inova is a unified HCM Platform, but ADP is built on a collection of acquisitions and 3rd party applications to offer functionality. ADP’s timekeeping system is a separate system, which means they are not able to print time punches on paystubs.
Inova can scale with companies as they grow. Our clients have anywhere from 1 to 8,500 employees. Paychex’s average customer size is 16 employees; Paychex’s primary target market is less than 100 employees.
Inova HCM reporting capabilities are extensive, while Paychex’s disparate modules limit cross-module reporting and broad organizational insights.
Inova has a team of over 30 implementation specialists to ensure client implementations go smoothly. Paychex sales reps don’t get paid until the clients go live on the platform, so the sales team is driving the process. This results in a rushed, often haphazard implementation.

Questions to Ask Yourself

When Considering Paychex

Does your team value a seamless and unified HCM platform?

Paychex has filled gaps in its HCM portfolio through partners and acquisitions, which has led to a bolt-on approach behind the scenes. For example, changes made in the Time module do not automatically flow through to other modules.

Paychex’s average customer size is 16 employees; Paychex’s primary target market is less than 100 employees.

Paychex’s dedicated account reps provide support (in theory), but there are many reports of lengthy wait times and a lack of follow-up from supervisors. Paychex will point to their dedicated rep service model as a plus, but there are many examples of customers unhappy about their support experience.

When Choosing A Payroll Provider

What is a payroll provider?

A payroll provider is a company that assists businesses in processing employee payrolls, managing taxes, ensuring accurate and timely employee payments, and aiding with tax forms and regulatory compliance.

A suitable payroll provider for a growing company should be able to handle an increasing number of employees, offer scalable service plans, ensure ongoing compliance with complex tax laws, integrate with other business systems, provide detailed reporting, and support payroll across multiple locations. This adaptability ensures that as your business expands, your payroll processes remain efficient and compliant.

The cost of payroll services varies, typically starting from $20-$50 per month plus a per-employee fee, with prices increasing for additional features like HR support. Exact costs depend on employee numbers, payroll complexity, and service scope, with potential extra charges for setup and year-end filings.

To determine if a payroll provider understands the needs of your industry, assess their experience with similar businesses, their ability to handle industry-specific regulations, and their track record of compliance and adaptability to unique payroll requirements.

When selecting a payroll provider, check if their system supports integrations with your existing business software, such as accounting, HR, and time tracking applications, to ensure seamless data flow and process efficiency.
