Sequifi vs Paychex: common Questions
Paychex processes payroll. Sequifi calculates the commission that determines the payroll, then pays it in the same system. Teams using a payroll bureau alongside commission spreadsheets run a manual reconciliation every cycle; consolidating removes that step and the errors that come with it.
Yes. Splits, tiered rates, manager overrides, regional rules, bonuses, and chargebacks on cancelled jobs are configured in the platform rather than maintained in spreadsheets and entered as manual payroll adjustments.
Yes, for W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, including the mixed workforces typical of field sales organizations where setters and closers are contractors and operations staff are employees.
Reps get a mobile app with live earnings, job status, and pay history. Instead of learning what a job paid when the stub arrives, they can see the calculation as it happens, which cuts the volume of pay disputes reaching managers and payroll.
Implementation is measured in weeks, because commission structures common to commission-driven industries ship pre-built and are adjusted to your plan rather than modelled from scratch.
If you want a traditional full-service payroll bureau with PEO and HR outsourcing, a mostly salaried workforce, and no meaningful commission calculation requirement, Paychex provides services in a form that a self-serve platform does not replicate.
Your commission team deserves more than a payroll processor
Sequifi connects commissions, payroll, and HR into one platform, so you stop reconciling spreadsheets and start scaling.
