Paychex Payroll Integration
One-Click Onboarding & Payroll Sync with HigherMe
Simplify your hiring-to-payroll workflow with HigherMe’s Paychex integration. Automatically sync new hire data for faster onboarding, accurate payroll, and zero data entry mistakes.

How the HigherMe + Paychex Integration Works
The HigherMe + Paychex integration instantly syncs new hire information collected as part of the application and hiring process directly to your Paychex Flex account. Employee details such as personal information, job title, pay rate, direct deposit, federal tax and workplace information are transferred automatically, which eliminates manual data entry and ensures your payroll system is always accurate and up-to-date.
Business Impact of the Integration
Time savings per hire
Reduction in time-to-onboard
Reduction in data entry errors
No Manual Data Entry
When a hiring decision made is in HigherMe, the new hire's information—such as name, address, compensation, and tax details—is automatically transferred to Paychex's payroll system. This automation saves your HR and payroll teams significant time that would otherwise be spent on repetitive, manual data entry for each new employee.
Streamlined Onboarding
The time between a candidate accepting a job and their first day is critical. With new hire data automatically populating in the payroll system, the administrative burden of onboarding is significantly reduced. This allows your managers to focus on other important tasks, like training and cultural integration, and gets the new employee ready to start working faster.
Data Accuracy & Compliance
An integration ensures improved data accuracy. Manual data entry is prone to human error, which can lead to costly mistakes like incorrect pay rate. By having the new hire's information flow directly from HigherMe to Paychex, the risk of typos is drastically reduced, and you can be confident that the data used for payroll is both consistent and accurate.
Restaurant & Hospitality
Effortlessly set up payroll for both hourly and tipped employees with pre-configured wage profiles and precise tax settings. This integration eliminates manual entry and significantly reduces the risk of costly errors, especially during busy periods. You can confidently pay employees accurately and on time while staying compliant and focusing on guest service.
Retail & Customer Service Businesses
Sync new hires into Paychex and ensure every team member is set up correctly from day one. The system automatically applies overtime rules and union pay scales, so you can be confident that all employees are paid accurately and in compliance with labor regulations. This automated process eliminates manual setup, saving you time and promoting greater operational efficiency as your business expands.
Multi-Location Franchises
Ensure uniform payroll and compliance across every location. With new hires automatically synced from each store to your Paychex Flex account, you can centralize payroll management and guarantee consistency. This streamlined process reduces the risk of errors and provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing every employee is paid accurately and on time.
