Brown County council approves three-year Paycom payroll contract

Brown County commissioners approved a three-year contract with Paycom to provide the countys human resources and payroll services, a presenter said during the meeting. A motion to approve and sign the contract was made and seconded; the recorded roll call shows at least two members—Kevin and Tim—voted "Yes." The transcript does not capture a full roll-call tally for every member.

Phil, introduced as "Phil with Paycom," described the contract terms and pricing during a presentation to the council. He said the vendor offered discounts on garnishments and lowered the implementation investment to support a planned November 1 start date that would include benefits enrollment. In the presentation Phil said, "we are getting a lot more for the money," and characterized the package as providing functionality the county does not have today.

County staff told the council that the overall numbers are comparable to the countys current system and that negotiated items had been reviewed by county attorneys. Staff also said the vendor allowed the county to lower the employee count used for pricing by about 10 to 15 positions for budgeting purposes and that per-employee monthly charges apply only for months an employee is paid.

The contract was presented as a three-year term with first-year pricing locked for those three years, according to staff responses during a clarifying Q&A. A member moved to approve and sign the contract as presented; the motion was seconded and the roll call recorded at least two affirmative votes. The transcript does not show the motion mover by name or a complete recorded tally for all commissioners, and that detail was not specified in the meeting record.
