CASE ALLEGATIONS: Paycom provides cloud-based human resources and payroll functions for small to mid-sized companies. In July 2021, Paycom officially rolled out a new application called “Beti,” which stands for Better Employee Transaction Interface, as an enhancement to Paycom’s then-existing payroll offerings.

The Paycom class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Paycom had been relying upon a significant, but undisclosed, amount of one-off payroll correction fees to fuel its outsized revenue growth; (ii) increased adoption of Beti by Paycom’s payroll customers was cannibalizing the fees Paycom had previously been charging to correct common payroll mistakes and to provide related services; and (iii) the increased Beti adoption was decreasing Paycom’s gross profit margins.

On August 1, 2023, Paycom announced its gross margin for the second quarter of 2023 declined from 84.2% to 83.2%. Paycom further projected revenue guidance for the third quarter of 2023 between $410 million to $412 million, below market expectations. On this news, the price of Paycom stock fell more than 19%.

Then, on October 31, 2023, Paycom disclosed that increased Beti adoption had been cannibalizing the one-off fees Paycom had previously been receiving for correcting payroll errors and that Paycom had been relying on those additional payroll correction fees to support its past outsized revenue growth. On this news, the price of Paycom stock fell more than 38%.

The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Paycom common stock during the class period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Paycom class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Paycom class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Paycom class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Paycom class action lawsuit.
