Paycom Software, Inc., known simply as Paycom, is an online payroll and human resource software provider based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with offices throughout the United States.[3][4] It is attributed with being one of the first fully online payroll providers.[5] Founded in 1998, it reported annual revenue of $2.052 billion for 2025, up from $1.883 billion for 2024.[6][7]
History
[edit]Paycom was founded in 1998 by Chad Richison, who previously worked in the payroll processing industry.[8] It began as an online payroll service provider for businesses, and expanded to offer additional services including human resource management in 2001.[3] On April 15, 2014, Paycom opened for trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PAYC.
In 2011, it released additional services including E-Verify, onboarding, expense management, and document storage.[9] In 2014, Paycom built a 90,000-square-foot addition to its headquarters—effectively doubling the size of its offices.[10] The company completed construction on its third and fourth buildings (in 2016 and 2018, respectively). In 2024, it opened its fifth building, bringing the total square-footage of its corporate campus to 815,000.[11][12][13] In May 2022, Paycom held a grand opening ceremony for a new 150,000 square-foot operations center in Grapevine, Texas.[14]
CEO Chad Richison was the highest paid executive in the United States in 2020, earning $211.13 million from Paycom as part of a 10-year performance contract. The compensation consists mostly of stock shares that only vest if the company reaches specific stock price benchmarks by 2026 and 2030.[15][16]
In 2021, Paycom announced the release of Beti, an enhancement to its payroll system allowing employees to complete their own payroll.[17][18] Later that year, they bought the naming rights to the Paycom Center, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder.[19]
In 2023, the company expanded its Global HCM offerings, providing access in more than 190 countries.[20]
In December 2023, Paycom announced its next step in HR automation, GONE, a decisioning logic enhancement to existing Time-Off Request software.[21]
In July 2025, Paycom launched IWant™,[22] a command-driven AI engine allowing users to seek information about employee data without having to navigate through the software.[23]
