Why Companies Choose Paychex vs. Square
Unlike other providers, Paychex offers dedicated HR Business Partners to support your payroll and HR needs.
How Paychex Stands Above Square
Comprehensive Platform
Paychex Flex® is truly an all-in-one platform that integrates payroll, HR features, time and attendance, and more, offering a seamless experience.
Square software has limited integration with Mineral and lacks comprehensive HR features.
Dedicated HR Support
Paychex provides access to dedicated HR Business Partners who offer personalized, proactive support and guidance beyond payroll support.
Square outsources HR to a third party, which does not provide extensive HR advice or effective recommendations.
Discover Advanced Analytics With Paychex
Streamline HR, payroll, and benefits with robust live reporting and custom analytics in Paychex Flex®. Get powerful analytics, retention insights, and access to 160+ detailed reports for data-driven decision-making.
Square's reporting tool offers basic internal pay analysis but requires external resources for benchmarking.
New Employee Onboarding
When you work with Paychex for HR services, you’ll gain access to a dedicated HR partner to ensure accurate documentation and compliance throughout the hiring process.
Square’s third-party HR provider offers hiring and onboarding support limited to its HR resource library.
Workplace Safety
Paychex Insurance Agency, Inc., a Paychex affiliate, is a Top 100 insurance agency that offers complete business insurance, including workers’ compensation and payroll-integrated coverage.1
Square partners with NEXT Insurance for workers' compensation but lacks comprehensive safety and OSHA compliance support.

Why Choose Paychex?
Discovery Senior Living expanded by more than 170 communities in five years and is still rapidly growing. Finding the right company that could support their payroll and HR administrative needs stopped with Paychex. We brought compliance expertise and the right services to help Senior VP of HR Lisa Lacy and her team maintain the continuity they wanted for employees and residents.
“When we acquire a new community, continuity in the team members is very critical to the residents, so it’s very critical for us to ensure … all these team members are enrolled in a payroll system, signed up for their benefits, get their 401(k).”
Integrate Payroll With Familiar Tools
Paychex offers comprehensive, all-in-one solutions tailored to your workforce needs, with seamless integration into your existing tools.
While Square relies on external partnerships to address product gaps, Paychex uses purpose-built integrations to simplify operations and enhance your overall experience.
