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. It is attributed with being one of the first fully online payroll providers. Founded in 1998, it reported annual revenue of $2.052 billion for 2025, up from $1.883 billion for 2024.
History
Paycom was founded in 1998 by Chad Richison, who previously worked in the payroll processing industry. It began as an online payroll service provider for businesses, and expanded to offer additional services including human resource management in 2001. 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. In 2014, Paycom built a 90,000-square-foot addition to its headquarters—effectively doubling the size of its offices. 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. In May 2022, Paycom held a grand opening ceremony for a new 150,000 square-foot operations center in Grapevine, Texas.

Why this record matters
“Paycom” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Paycom, Payroll and Software provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17084959. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1998, 2025, 2024 and 2001.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
