Estimates only. Actual Enterprise pricing is negotiated based on modules, integrations, contract length, and employee count. Per-employee rates typically decrease significantly at 200+ headcount.
What to Ask Paychex Sales
- What is the total cost of ownership including implementation, training, and first-year setup?
- Are per-run fees included or charged separately?
- What integrations are included vs. require additional fees?
- What is the SLA for payroll processing and error resolution?
- What are the contract termination terms and fees?
- What does the dedicated account team structure look like?
- Is 401k and workers comp administration available as a bundle discount?
Enterprise comparison: At 200+ employees, Paychex Enterprise competes with ADP Workforce Now and Workday. ADP Workforce Now is typically comparable in price; Workday is significantly more expensive (often $30-$50/employee/month). For companies below 200 employees that want enterprise-grade HR, Rippling is often a better fit with faster implementation and a more modern platform.
