History
Paycom was founded in 1998 by Chad Richison, who had formerly worked in the payroll processing industry.[10] It began as an online payroll service provider for businesses and expanded to offer additional services including human resource management, beginning in 2001.[2] On April 15, 2014, Paycom opened for trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PAYC.
In 2011, the company moved its headquarters to a new 90,000 square foot office building, remaining in Oklahoma City.[5] The same year it released additional services including E-Verify, onboarding, expense management, and document storage.[11] In 2014, Paycom built a 90,000-square-foot addition to its headquarters—effectively doubling the size of its offices.[12] In 2016, the company completed construction on a third building, bringing the total square-footage of its office space to approximately 250,000.[13] In 2018, Paycom completed construction of its fourth building on its corporate campus totaling an additional 250,000 square-feet and bringing the total size of its headquarters to approximately 500,000 square-feet.[9]
