Helping Businesses Succeed
Helping Businesses Succeed
Paychex began by offering a single, revolutionary payroll product to address the unmet needs of small businesses. As we’ve grown, we’ve rapidly evolved to become a true advocate for businesses of all sizes — from startups to corporations — by anticipating the needs of our customers with innovative HR technology, advisory services, and support.
Our mission is to make it simple for businesses of all sizes to pay and manage their employees. We make their payroll easy and automatic. We handle their benefits programs including affordable plans to save for employees’ retirement and health insurance to protect their families. We guide them through their human resources challenges. We keep them up to date with ever-changing laws and regulations. We do it all in the way our customers want - self-service within our app, online chat, email newsletters, over the phone, or any combination of the above.
We were founded over 50 years ago to relieve the complexity of running a business and make our customers’ lives easier, so they can focus on the success of their business. This remains our mission today.

HR Technology to Drive Business Efficiency
As businesses grow, the advanced capabilities inherent within our SaaS-based HR software solution, Paychex Flex®, are intuitively designed to reduce the effort for HR leaders and their employees.
Within the software, HR leaders can quickly post open positions, identify the ideal salary based on national data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and even use predictive analytics to identify employees who may be more likely to consider leaving the organization.
Employees are empowered to review their paycheck accuracy ahead of payday, see their retirement balances, enroll in health insurance, access their performance reviews, and far more.

Addressing the Retirement Savings Crisis
Addressing the Retirement Savings Crisis
By making retirement plans simple and affordable, Paychex makes it easy for business owners to establish a plan for themselves and their employees.
Paychex was among the first retirement providers in the industry to introduce a Pooled Employer Plan (PEP). The PEP helps expand plan access for businesses with reduced fiduciary liability, simplified plan management, and lower-cost plan expenses when compared to single-employer retirement plan offerings.
We’re ready to discuss the benefits of the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022, reducing the hurdles for businesses to offer retirement savings plans.
Paychex is also helping businesses meet the requirements of a growing number of state mandates that require employers to offer a retirement savings program for employees by state-specific deadlines or face financial penalties.

Paychex Cares
We believe we have a responsibility to make an impact on the local communities in which we work, giving back both as a company and as individuals.
Our employees honor this commitment to their local communities by organizing grassroots efforts, such as fundraisers, gathering donations for local charities, or volunteering their time.
In addition to our employee efforts, at Paychex, we believe that support of United Way is one of the best ways we deliver local community impact. Since 2006, Paychex and our employees have contributed $18 million to United Way organizations.

Strategic Giving Framework Focused on Well-being
As a national leader in HR, payroll, and benefits, Paychex has a unique insight into the challenges facing American businesses –and workers. We use those insights to direct funding where we see the greatest need. One of the most profound challenges impacting businesses today is supporting the well-being of their employees.
Beginning in FY23, the Paychex Charitable Foundation took a dramatic step forward to support well-being in the communities where our employees live and work. Through our strategic initiative focused on well-being, we announced $4 million in grants (paid over four years) to national organizations that are leaders in addressing mental health, physical health, financial health, and professional skills development: Mental Health America, Feeding America, Junior Achievement USA, and the National Urban League.
The sustained funding commitment helps improve health and well-being in the communities where our employees live and work.
