Paycom Layoffs 2025 (500 in OKC)

Paycom has laid off more than 500 employees in Oklahoma City as part of a restructuring effort driven by automation and artificial intelligence. The cuts affect non-client-facing, back-office roles, while client-facing jobs remain unaffected.

The company said the move is due to efficiencies created by AI-driven technologies. A WARN notice was filed, and employees were notified on Wednesday morning.

Paycom is offering severance packages, outplacement services, and access to internal job opportunities. Despite the layoffs, the company says it will continue hiring for open positions in client-facing areas and remains financially strong.

Heard Paycom laid more off. F them stay strong OKC friends. Can AI take CEO positions too? AI is meant as a tool not a person

Among those affected was Ashton Slagle, a former software quality analyst and active-duty military member, who was laid off on his first day back from service. Slagle said he was surprised by the decision, noting that he and his colleagues never expected their work to be automated. He described being told his badge was deactivated and that he had missed a Zoom meeting notifying affected employees, as his accounts were still locked from deployment.

Paycom explained the restructuring as part of efficiency improvements, but Slagle argued that automation should reduce repetitive tasks, not eliminate entire positions. He has since begun seeking help from USERRA, a program that supports service members transitioning back into civilian jobs.

The company continues to hire for client-facing positions, but the sudden layoffs have left many employees questioning the impact of AI on job security.
