Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2 . SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our significant accounting policies are discussed in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 18, 2021. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial statements that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in the Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In January 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”) utilizing the prospective transition method. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income tax in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2018-15”) utilizing the prospective transition method. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” based on the FASB Concepts Statement, “Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements,” including consideration of costs and benefits. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 removed or modified disclosure requirements retrospectively to all periods presented, whereas any new requirements have been applied prospectively from the adoption date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include income taxes, loss contingencies, the useful life of property and equipment, the life of our client relationships, the fair value of our stock-based awards and the fair value of our financial instruments, intangible assets and goodwill. These estimates are based on historical experience where applicable and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Prior Period Reclassifications Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Seasonality Our revenues are seasonal in nature. Recurring revenues include revenues relating to the annual processing of payroll forms, such as Form W-2, Form 1099, and Form 1095 and revenues from processing unscheduled payroll runs (such as bonuses) for our clients. As payroll forms are typically processed in the first quarter of the year, first quarter revenues and margins are generally higher than in subsequent quarters. These seasonal fluctuations in revenues can also have an impact on gross profits. Historical results impacted by these seasonal trends should not be considered a reliable indicator of our future results of operations. Employee Stock Purchase Plan An award issued under the Paycom Software, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) is classified as a share-based liability and recognized at the fair value of the award. Expense is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Funds Held for Clients and Client Funds Obligation As part of our payroll and tax filing application, we (i) collect client funds to satisfy their respective federal, state and local employment tax obligations, (ii) remit such funds to the appropriate taxing authorities and accounts designated by our clients, and (iii) manage client tax filings and any related correspondence with taxing authorities. Amounts collected by us from clients for their federal, state and local employment taxes are invested by us, and we earn interest on these funds during the interval between receipt and disbursement. These investments are shown in our consolidated balance sheets as funds held for clients, and the offsetting liability for the tax filings is shown as client funds obligation. The liability is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at the time we obtain the funds from clients. The client funds obligation represents liabilities that will be repaid within one year of the consolidated balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the funds held for clients were invested in money market funds, demand deposit accounts, commercial paper with a maturity duration less than three months and certificates of deposit. Short-term investments in commercial paper and certificates of deposit with an original maturity duration greater than three months are classified as available-for-sale securities, and are also included within the funds held for clients line item in the consolidated balance sheets. These available-for-sale securities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, which approximates the amortized cost of the securities. Funds held for clients are classified as a current asset in the consolidated balance sheets because the funds are held solely to satisfy the client funds obligation. Additionally, the funds held for clients is classified as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents and presented within the reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Stock Repurchase Plan In May 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan allowing for the repurchase of shares of our common stock in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 programs. Since the initial authorization of the stock repurchase plan, our Board of Directors has amended and extended and authorized new stock repurchase plans from time to time. Most recently, in May 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021, there was $270.7 million available for repurchases under our stock repurchase plan. Our stock repurchase plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased depends on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions, shares withheld for taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock and other corporate considerations. The current stock repurchase plan will expire on May 13, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate of 155,575 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $393.05 per share, all of which were shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations for certain employees upon the vesting of restricted stock. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. Our interest-bearing notes bear interest , at our option, at either (a) a prime rate plus 1.0 % or (b) fluctuating interest rates based on a one-month USD LIBOR rate . Once the one-month USD LIBOR rate ceases to exist, we will have to renegotiate our loan documents and cannot currently predict what alternative index will be negotiated with our lenders. While ASU 2020-04 is currently effective , we plan to adopt and apply ASU 2020-04 prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements . In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Scope” (“ASU 2021-01”), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied to contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. We are currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. |

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | 3. REVENUE Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to for those goods or services. Substantially all of our revenues are comprised of revenue from contracts with clients. Sales taxes and other applicable taxes are excluded from revenues. Recurring Revenues Recurring revenues are derived primarily from our talent acquisition, time and labor management, payroll, talent management and HR management applications as well as fees charged for form filings and delivery of client payroll checks and reports. Talent acquisition includes our applicant tracking, candidate tracker, background check, on-boarding, e-verify and tax credit services applications. Time and labor management includes time and attendance, scheduling/schedule exchange, time-off requests, labor allocation, labor management reports/push reporting and geofencing/geotracking. Payroll includes Beti™, our payroll and tax management, Paycom Pay®, expense management, garnishment management and GL Concierge applications. Talent management includes our employee self-service, compensation budgeting, performance management, executive dashboard and Paycom learning and course content applications. HR management includes our document and task management, government and compliance, benefits administration, benefit enrollment services, COBRA administration, personnel action forms, surveys and enhanced Affordable Care Act applications. The performance obligations related to recurring revenues are satisfied during each client’s payroll period, with the agreed-upon fee being charged and collected as part of our processing of the client’s payroll. Recurring revenues are recognized at the conclusion of processing of each client’s payroll period, when each respective payroll client is billed. Collectability is reasonably assured as the fees are collected through an automated clearing house as part of the client’s payroll cycle or through direct wire transfer, which minimizes the default risk. The contract period for substantially all contracts associated with these revenues is one month due to the fact that both we and the client have the unilateral right to terminate a wholly unperformed contract without compensating the other party by providing 30 days’ notice of termination. Our payroll application is the foundation of our solution, and all of our clients are required to utilize this application in order to access our other applications. For clients who purchase multiple applications, due to the short-term nature of our contracts, we do not believe it is meaningful to separately assess and identify whether or not each application potentially represents its own, individual, performance obligation as the revenue generated from each application is recognized within the same month as the revenue from the core payroll application. Similarly, we do not believe it is meaningful to individually determine the standalone selling price for each application. We consider the total price charged to a client in a given period to be indicative of the standalone selling price, as the total amount charged is within a reasonable range of prices typically charged for our goods and services for comparable classes of client groups, which we periodically assess for price adjustments. Implementation and Other Revenues Implementation and other revenues consist of nonrefundable upfront conversion fees which are charged to new clients to offset the expense of new client set-up as well as revenues from the sale of time clocks as part of our employee time and attendance services. Although these revenues are related to our recurring revenues, they represent distinct performance obligations. Implementation activities primarily represent administrative activities that allow us to fulfill future performance obligations for our clients and do not represent servi ces transferred to the client. However, the nonrefundable upfront fee charged to our clients results in an implied performance obligation in the form of a material right to the client related to the client’s option to renew at the end of each 30-day contract period. Further, given that all other services within the contract are sold at a total price indicative of the standalone selling price, coupled with the fact that the upfront fees are consistent with upfront fees charged in similar contracts that we have with clients, the standalone selling price of the client’s option to renew the contract approximates the dollar amount of the nonrefundable upfront fee. The nonrefundable upfront fee is typically included on the client’s first invoice, and is deferred and recognized ratably over the estimated renewal period ( i.e. , ten-year estimated client life). Revenues from the sale of time clocks are recognized when control is transferred to the client upon delivery of the product. We estimate the standalone selling price for the time clocks by maximizing the use of observable inputs such as our specific pricing practices for time clocks. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition for recurring services is consistent with the invoicing of clients as they both occur during the respective client payroll period for which the services are provided. Therefore, we do not recognize a contract asset or liability resulting from the timing of revenue recognition and invoicing. Changes in deferred revenue related to material right performance obligations as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Balance, beginning of period $ 92,458 $ 80,887 $ 86,826 $ 76,244 Deferral of revenue 10,573 7,838 26,071 20,324 Recognition of unearned revenue (5,154 ) (3,338 ) (15,020 ) (11,181 ) Balance, end of period $ 97,877 $ 85,387 $ 97,877 $ 85,387 We expect to recognize $4.7 million of deferred revenue related to material right performance obligations in the remainder of 2021, $15.0 million of such deferred revenue in 2022, and $78.2 million of such deferred revenue thereafter Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain and Costs to Fulfill Revenue Contracts We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a client if we expect the amortization period to be longer than one year. We also recognize an asset for the costs to fulfill a contract with a client if such costs are specifically identifiable, generate or enhance resources used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered. We have determined that substantially all costs related to implementation activities are administrative in nature and also meet the capitalization criteria under ASC 340-40. These capitalized costs to fulfill principally relate to upfront direct costs that are expected to be recovered through margin and that enhance our ability to satisfy future performance obligations. The assets related to both costs to obtain, and costs to fulfill, contracts with clients are accounted for utilizing a portfolio approach, and are capitalized and amortized over the expected period of benefit, which we have determined to be the estimated client relationship of ten years. The expected period of benefit has been determined to be the estimated life of the client relationship primarily because we incur no new costs to obtain, or costs to fulfill, a contract upon renewal of such contract. Additional commission costs may be incurred when an existing client purchases additional applications; however, these commission costs relate solely to the additional applications purchased and are not related to contract renewal. Furthermore, additional fulfillment costs associated with existing clients purchasing additional applications are minimized by our seamless single-database platform. These assets are presented as deferred contract costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense related to costs to obtain and costs to fulfill a contract are included in the “sales and marketing” and “general and administrative” line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The following tables present the asset balances and related amortization expense for these contract costs: As of and for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Beginning Capitalization Ending Balance of Costs Amortization Balance Costs to obtain a contract $ 248,908 $ 16,648 $ (9,469 ) $ 256,087 Costs to fulfill a contract $ 229,512 $ 24,652 $ (7,931 ) $ 246,233 As of and for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Beginning Capitalization Ending Balance of Costs Amortization Balance Costs to obtain a contract $ 209,462 $ 12,174 $ (7,716 ) $ 213,920 Costs to fulfill a contract $ 171,941 $ 18,709 $ (5,889 ) $ 184,761 As of and for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Beginning Capitalization Ending Balance of Costs Amortization Balance Costs to obtain a contract $ 232,583 $ 50,890 $ (27,386 ) $ 256,087 Costs to fulfill a contract $ 199,593 $ 68,764 $ (22,124 ) $ 246,233 As of and for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Beginning Capitalization Ending Balance of Costs Amortization Balance Costs to obtain a contract $ 194,964 $ 41,340 $ (22,384 ) $ 213,920 Costs to fulfill a contract $ 143,788 $ 57,289 $ (16,316 ) $ 184,761 |

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we capitalized $13.2 million and $39.2 million, respectively, of computer software development costs related to software developed for internal use. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we capitalized $11.7 million and $32.4 million, respectively, of computer software development costs related to software developed for internal use. Rental clocks included in property and equipment, net represent time clocks issued to clients under month-to-month operating leases. As such, these items are transferred from inventory to property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. We capitalize interest incurred for indebtedness related to construction in progress. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred interest costs of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of which we capitalized $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred interest costs of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of which we capitalized $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net | 5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, goodwill was $51.9 million. We have selected June 30 as our annual goodwill impairment testing date. We performed a qualitative analysis of the fair value of our goodwill and determined there was no impairment as of June 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no indicators of impairment. In connection with our marketing initiatives, we have purchased the naming rights to the downtown Oklahoma City arena that is home to the Oklahoma City Thunder National Basketball Association franchise. Under the terms of the naming rights agreement, we have committed to make payments escalating annually from $4.0 million in 2021 to $6.1 million in 2035. We also made a $1.5 million one-time payment in July 2021 to cover sponsorship rights leading up to the 2021-2022 season. Upon the conclusion of the initial term, the agreement may be extended upon the mutual agreement of both parties for an additional five-year period. The cost of the naming rights has been recorded as an intangible asset with an offsetting liability as of the date of the contract. The intangible asset is being amortized over the life of the agreement on a straight line basis that commenced in June 2021. The difference between the present value of the offsetting liability and actual cash payments is being relieved through sales and marketing expense using the effective interest method over the life of the agreement. All of our intangible assets other than goodwill are considered to have definite lives and, as such, are subject to amortization. The following table presents the components of intangible assets within our consolidated balance sheets: September 30, 2021 Weighted Average Remaining Accumulated Useful Life Gross Amortization Net (Years) Intangibles: Naming rights 15.1 $ 60,199 $ (1,302 ) $ 58,897 Trade name 0.8 3,194 (3,034 ) 160 Total $ 63,393 $ (4,336 ) $ 59,057 December 31, 2020 Weighted Average Remaining Accumulated Useful Life Gross Amortization Net (Years) Intangibles: Trade name 1.5 $ 3,194 $ (2,875 ) $ 319 Total $ 3,194 $ (2,875 ) $ 319 Amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. We estimate the aggregate amortization expense will be $1.0 million for the remainder of 2021, $4.0 million for 2022, and $3.9 million for each of 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. |

Long-Term Debt, Net | 6. LONG-TERM DEBT, NET Long-term debt consisted of the following: September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Net term note to bank due September 7, 2025 $ 29,590 $ 30,894 Total long-term debt, net (including current portion) 29,590 30,894 Less: Current portion (1,775 ) (1,775 ) Total long-term debt, net $ 27,815 $ 29,119 On December 7, 2017, we entered into a senior secured term credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Term Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and Kirkpatrick Bank made certain term loans to us (the “Term Loans”). Our obligations under the Term Loans are secured by a mortgage and first priority security interest in our corporate headquarters property. The Term Loans mature on September 7, 2025 and bear interest, at our option, at either (a) a prime rate plus 1.0% or (b) an adjusted LIBOR rate for the interest period in effect for such Term Loan plus 1.5%. As of September 30, 2021, our long-term indebtedness consisted solely of the Term Loans made under the Term Credit Agreement. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020, respectively, are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. Under the Term Credit Agreement, we are subject to two material financial covenants, which require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 and a funded indebtedness to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 2.0 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with these covenants. On February 12, 2018, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. that provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Revolving Commitment”), which could be increased to up to $100.0 million, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and certain approvals and satisfying certain other conditions. The Facility includes a $5.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $2.5 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Facility was scheduled to mature on February 12, 2020. On April 15, 2019, we entered into the First Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the First Amendment, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., was added as a lender and the Revolving Commitment was increased to $75.0 million, which may be further increased to $125.0 million subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and certain approvals and satisfying other conditions. The scheduled maturity date of the Facility was extended to April 15, 2022. Borrowings under the Facility will generally bear interest at a prime rate plus 1.0% or, at our option, an adjusted LIBOR rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus 1.5%. The proceeds of the loans and letters of credit under the Facility are to be used only for our general business purposes and working capital. Letters of credit are to be issued only to support our business operations. As of September 30, 2021, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Facility. Under the Revolving Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 and a funded indebtedness to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 2.0 to 1.0. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting our ability to, among other things, grant liens, incur debt, effect certain mergers, make certain investments, dispose of assets, enter into certain transactions, including swap agreements and sale and leaseback transactions, pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a facility of the size and type of the Facility. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Revolving Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of our total long-term debt approximated its fair value as of such date. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and maturities. |

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | 7 . DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In December 2017, we entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to limit the exposure to floating interest rate risk related to the Term Loans. We do not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion of the variable interest rate payments to fixed interest rate payments. We account for our derivatives under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and recognize all derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value as either short-term or long-term assets or liabilities based on their anticipated settlement date. See Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. We have elected not to designate our interest rate swap as a hedge; therefore, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in our consolidated statements of income within Other income (expense), net. The objective of the interest rate swap is to reduce the variability in the forecasted interest payments of the Term Loans, which is based on a one-month USD LIBOR rate versus a fixed interest rate of 2.54% on a notional value of $35.5 million. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive quarterly variable interest payments based on the LIBOR rate and pay interest at a fixed rate. The interest rate swap agreement has a maturity date of September 7, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded gains of $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the change in fair value of the interest rate swap, and for the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a gain of $0.1 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a loss of $1.6 million, for the change in fair value of the interest rate swap. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap is included in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 8 . FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, funds held for clients, client funds obligation and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, funds held for clients and client funds obligation approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. See Note 6 for discussion of the fair value of our debt. As discussed in Note 2, we invest the funds held for clients in money market funds, demand deposit accounts, commercial paper with a maturity duration less than three months and certificates of deposit, and classify these items as cash and cash equivalents within the funds held for clients line item in the consolidated balance sheets. Short-term investments in commercial paper and certificates of deposit with an original maturity duration greater than three months are classified as available-for-sale securities, and are also included within the funds held for clients line item. These available-for-sale securities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, which approximates the amortized cost of the securities. All of our available-for-sale securities had expected maturity dates of twelve months or less at September 30, 2021. As discussed in Note 7, during the year ended December 31, 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is measured on a recurring basis based on quoted prices for similar financial instruments and other observable inputs recognized at fair value. The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly or quoted prices that are not active • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data Included in the following tables are the Company’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: September 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Commercial paper $ — $ 130,966 $ — $ 130,966 Certificates of deposit $ — $ 25,000 $ — $ 25,000 Liabilities: Interest rate swap $ — $ 1,875 $ — $ 1,875 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Commercial paper $ — $ 99,929 $ — $ 99,929 Certificates of deposit $ — $ 80,000 $ — $ 80,000 Liabilities: Interest rate swap $ — $ 2,738 $ — $ 2,738 |

Employee Savings Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan | 9 . EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN AND EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Employees over the age of 18 who have completed ninety days of service are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan. We have made a Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement (“QACA”) election, whereby the Company matches the contribution of our employees equal to 100% of the first 1% of salary deferrals and 50% of salary deferrals between 2% and 6%, up to a maximum matching contribution of 3.5% of an employee’s salary each plan year. We are allowed to make additional discretionary matching contributions and discretionary profit sharing contributions. Employees are 100% vested in amounts attributable to salary deferrals and rollover contributions. The QACA matching contributions as well as the discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions vest 100% after two years of employment from the date of hire. Matching contributions were $2.9 million and $8.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Matching contributions were $1.9 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The ESPP has overlapping offering periods, with each offering period lasting approximately 24 months. At the beginning of each offering period, eligible employees may elect to contribute, through payroll deductions, up to 10% of their compensation, subject to an annual per-employee maximum of $25,000. Eligible employees purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date. The maximum number of shares that may be purchased by a participant during each offering period is 2,000 shares, subject to limits specified by the Internal Revenue Service. The shares reserved for purposes of the ESPP are shares we purchase in the open market. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be purchased by all participants under the ESPP is 2.0 million shares. Eligible employees purchased 31,824 and 42,966 shares of the Company’s common stock under the ESPP during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Compensation expense related to the ESPP is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Our compensation expense related to the ESPP was $0.6 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Our compensation expense related to the ESPP was $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | 1 0 . EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a similar manner to basic earnings per share after assuming the issuance of shares of common stock for all potentially dilutive shares of restricted stock whether or not they are vested. In accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the two-class method determines earnings for each class of common stock and participating securities according to an earnings allocation formula that adjusts the income available to common stockholders for dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The unvested shares of restricted stock granted in 2015 are considered participating securities, while all other unvested shares of restricted stock are not considered participating securities. As of December 31, 2020, all shares of restricted stock granted in 2015 have vested. The following is a reconciliation of net income and the shares of common stock used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Numerator: Net income $ 30,379 $ 27,482 $ 147,273 $ 119,086 Less: income allocable to participating securities — — — — Income allocable to common shares $ 30,379 $ 27,482 $ 147,273 $ 119,086 Add back: undistributed earnings allocable to participating securities $ — $ — $ — $ — Less: undistributed earnings reallocated to participating securities — — — — Numerator for diluted earnings per share $ 30,379 $ 27,482 $ 147,273 $ 119,086 Denominator: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 57,935 57,603 57,843 57,609 Dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock 255 568 349 703 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 58,190 58,171 58,192 58,312 Earnings per share: Basic $ 0.52 $ 0.48 $ 2.55 $ 2.07 Diluted $ 0.52 $ 0.47 $ 2.53 $ 2.04 |

Stock-Based Compensation | 11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Restricted Stock Awards During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 180,735 restricted shares of common stock to certain non-executive employees and non-employee members of our board of directors under the Paycom Software, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), consisting of 42,934 shares subject to market-based vesting conditions (“Market-Based Shares”) and 137,801 shares subject to time-based vesting conditions (“Time-Based Shares”). The Market-Based Shares will vest % on the first date, if any, that the arithmetic average of the Company’s volume weighted average price on each of the twenty consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date (the “VWAP Value”) equals or exceeds $ per share and % on the first date, if any, that the Company’s VWAP Value equals or exceeds $ per share, in each case provided that (i) such date occurs on or before the eighth anniversary of the grant date and (ii) the recipient is employed by, or providing services to, the Company on the applicable vesting date, and subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP and the applicable restricted stock award agreement. The Time-Based Shares granted to non-executive employees will vest over periods ranging from three to four years, Of the 137,801 Time-Based Shares mentioned above, on May 3, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 3,558 Time-Based Shares to the non-employee members of our Board of Directors. Such shares of restricted stock will cliff-vest on the seventh day following the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided that such director is providing services to the Company through the applicable vesting date, and subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP and the applicable restricted stock award agreement .

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units In February 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized the granting of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executive officers pursuant to the LTIP (the “PSU Awards”). Each PSU granted under the LTIP represents a notional share of the Company’s common stock. The PSU Awards represented an aggregate of 52,470 target units that may increase to an aggregate of 131,176 awarded units based upon the Company’s performance over two separate performance periods: (i) a two-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2022 (the “Two-Year Performance Period”); and (ii) a three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “Three-Year Performance Period”). Up to 25% of the PSUs will be eligible to vest no later than March 1, 2023, for the Two-Year Performance Period, and up to 75% of the PSUs will be eligible to vest no later than February 29, 2024, for the Three-Year Performance Period, provided that the grantee remains employed by or providing services to the Company on the applicable vesting date, and subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP and the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement – Performance Based Vesting (the “PSU Award Agreement”). The number of PSUs that will vest and be converted into shares of common stock will depend on the Company’s “Relative Total Stockholder Return” (“Relative TSR”), expressed as a percentile ranking of the Company’s “Total Stockholder Return” (“TSR”) as compared to the Company’s peer group set forth in the PSU Award Agreement. For purposes of the PSU Awards, TSR is determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the average daily volume weighted average price (or “VWAP” as defined in the PSU Award Agreement) of a share of the Company’s common stock or the common stock of a peer company, as applicable, during the final 60 34 On April 2, 2021, Jeffrey D. York resigned from his position as Chief Sales Officer of the Company and accepted a new role as Leadership Strategist of the Company. In connection with the change in Mr. York’s role, the Company and Mr. York entered into a letter agreement that, among other things, (i) amends that certain Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement, dated March 9, 2020, by and between the Company and Mr. York, to, among other things, reflect the change in Mr. York’s role, eliminate certain executive-level benefits and remove the termination and severance provisions, and (ii) forfeit s and release s the PSU award granted to Mr. York on February 10, 2021. On April 2, 2021, the Board of Directors appointed Holly Faurot to succeed Mr. York as Chief Sales Officer of the Company. In connection with her appointment, Mrs. Faurot was granted an award of PSUs pursuant to the LTIP. Consistent with the PSU awards granted to certain other executive officers of the Company on February 10, 2021, Mrs. Faurot received 5,445 target PSUs that will vest based on the Company’s total stockholder return relative to a peer group of 34 publicly traded companies, subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP and the PSU Award Agreement. The following table summarizes PSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021: PSUs Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2020 — $ — Granted 57.9 $ 564.68 Forfeited (20.8 ) $ 579.30 Unvested PSUs outstanding at September 30, 2021 (1) 37.1 $ 556.50 (1) A maximum of 92,814 units could be awarded based upon Paycom’s Relative TSR over the applicable performance periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our total compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and PSU awards, in the aggregate, was $29.0 million and $76.4 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, our total compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and PSU awards, in the aggregate, was $19.5 million and $56.5 million, respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 1 2 . COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES As previously disclosed, starting in February 2019, we received subpoenas and requests from the SEC focused on whether certain of our clients were charged, and paid, an additional amount for one or more applications for which the clients were already being charged. In connection with this matter, we identified fewer than 250 affected clients, representing approximately 0.5% of our client base as of December 31, 2020. We have made diligent efforts to notify the affected clients and reached substantially all that were affected by such charges between approximately 2011 and September 2020. We have refunded approximately $3.0 million, in the aggregate, to such clients. We have also instituted a control aimed at preventing this situation from reoccurring. This issue did not have a material impact on our financial results for any prior period. In connection with this matter, we paid a total of $0.25 million to the SEC to settle two accounting-related charges concerning our books and records and internal controls. We neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s findings with respect to these charges. We are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |

Income Taxes | 1 3 . INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective income tax rate was 20.8% and 20.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily related to a decrease in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial statements that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in the Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. |
Recently Adopted / Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In January 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”) utilizing the prospective transition method. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income tax in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2018-15”) utilizing the prospective transition method. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” based on the FASB Concepts Statement, “Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements,” including consideration of costs and benefits. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 removed or modified disclosure requirements retrospectively to all periods presented, whereas any new requirements have been applied prospectively from the adoption date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. Our interest-bearing notes bear interest , at our option, at either (a) a prime rate plus 1.0 % or (b) fluctuating interest rates based on a one-month USD LIBOR rate . Once the one-month USD LIBOR rate ceases to exist, we will have to renegotiate our loan documents and cannot currently predict what alternative index will be negotiated with our lenders. While ASU 2020-04 is currently effective , we plan to adopt and apply ASU 2020-04 prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements . In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Scope” (“ASU 2021-01”), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied to contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. We are currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include income taxes, loss contingencies, the useful life of property and equipment, the life of our client relationships, the fair value of our stock-based awards and the fair value of our financial instruments, intangible assets and goodwill. These estimates are based on historical experience where applicable and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. |
Prior Period Reclassifications | Prior Period Reclassifications Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. |
Seasonality | Seasonality Our revenues are seasonal in nature. Recurring revenues include revenues relating to the annual processing of payroll forms, such as Form W-2, Form 1099, and Form 1095 and revenues from processing unscheduled payroll runs (such as bonuses) for our clients. As payroll forms are typically processed in the first quarter of the year, first quarter revenues and margins are generally higher than in subsequent quarters. These seasonal fluctuations in revenues can also have an impact on gross profits. Historical results impacted by these seasonal trends should not be considered a reliable indicator of our future results of operations. |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan | Employee Stock Purchase Plan An award issued under the Paycom Software, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) is classified as a share-based liability and recognized at the fair value of the award. Expense is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. |
Funds Held for Clients and Client Funds Obligation | Funds Held for Clients and Client Funds Obligation As part of our payroll and tax filing application, we (i) collect client funds to satisfy their respective federal, state and local employment tax obligations, (ii) remit such funds to the appropriate taxing authorities and accounts designated by our clients, and (iii) manage client tax filings and any related correspondence with taxing authorities. Amounts collected by us from clients for their federal, state and local employment taxes are invested by us, and we earn interest on these funds during the interval between receipt and disbursement. These investments are shown in our consolidated balance sheets as funds held for clients, and the offsetting liability for the tax filings is shown as client funds obligation. The liability is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at the time we obtain the funds from clients. The client funds obligation represents liabilities that will be repaid within one year of the consolidated balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the funds held for clients were invested in money market funds, demand deposit accounts, commercial paper with a maturity duration less than three months and certificates of deposit. Short-term investments in commercial paper and certificates of deposit with an original maturity duration greater than three months are classified as available-for-sale securities, and are also included within the funds held for clients line item in the consolidated balance sheets. These available-for-sale securities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, which approximates the amortized cost of the securities. Funds held for clients are classified as a current asset in the consolidated balance sheets because the funds are held solely to satisfy the client funds obligation. Additionally, the funds held for clients is classified as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents and presented within the reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Stock Repurchase Plan | Stock Repurchase Plan In May 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan allowing for the repurchase of shares of our common stock in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 programs. Since the initial authorization of the stock repurchase plan, our Board of Directors has amended and extended and authorized new stock repurchase plans from time to time. Most recently, in May 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021, there was $270.7 million available for repurchases under our stock repurchase plan. Our stock repurchase plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased depends on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions, shares withheld for taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock and other corporate considerations. The current stock repurchase plan will expire on May 13, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate of 155,575 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $393.05 per share, all of which were shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations for certain employees upon the vesting of restricted stock. |

Share-based compensation arrangement by share-based payment award, award vesting rights | In September 2021, Janet Haugen tendered her resignation from our Board of Directors. As a result of Ms. Haugen’s resignation, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors determined to accelerate the vesting of 297 shares of Ms. Haugen’s unvested shares of restricted stock, which was approximately one-half of the shares of restricted stock awarded to Ms. Haugen in 2021. Subsequent to Ms. Haugen’s resignation, the Board of Directors appointed Sharen Turney to serve as a Class I director to fill the resulting vacancy. Ms. Turney received a prorated portion of the standard compensation package for the Company’s non-management directors, which included 230 shares of restricted stock, and which will vest on May 10, 2022. | Such shares of restricted stock will cliff-vest on the seventh day following the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided that such director is providing services to the Company through the applicable vesting date, and subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP and the applicable restricted stock award agreement. | ||||
