Forward guidance

Paycom is withdrawing its previously issued full-year 2020 guidance in light of macroeconomic uncertainties, particularly unemployment, arising from the current COVID-19 crisis. The company plans to return to providing quarterly and full-year guidance once they have more visibility into the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, specifically as unemployment numbers become more predictable.
