Paycom operates its own data centers and is the only HR tech company with Tier IV certification, the highest award given by the Uptime Institute.

The USA Today Most Trusted Brands recognition is based on a nationwide consumer sentiment study conducted in partnership with research firm Plant-A Insights Group.
