Paychex Integration

Paychex is a cloud-based payroll and human resource management tool. Paychex has features such as payroll processing, tax filing, time and attendance tracking, and more.

How does this integration help Sprinto

The integration primarily helps Sprinto retrieve staff-related information such as name, email address, job roles, onboarding dates, reporting managers, etc. These details are crucial for managing compliance needs related to people management. Sprinto initiates relevant checks if any required information needs to be updated to ensure compliance framework requirements are met.
