How Files.com Fits With Paychex

Small and mid-market payroll on Paychex runs on file exchange. Payroll input files, general-ledger exports, 401(k) and benefits feeds, and time-and-attendance imports move to or from an SFTP destination — between your systems, Paychex, and the retirement and insurance providers that depend on the data.

Files.com is that SFTP destination, run as a service. Paychex delivers to your Files.com site; an Automation decrypts the file, checks it, renames and routes it to the right vendor folder, and hands it off — or collects inbound files and stages them for Paychex to pick up. Every transfer is logged, every vendor is scoped to its own folder, and PGP encryption is handled in place.

What You Would Use

Managed SFTP For Paychex

Give Paychex a stable, monitored SFTP endpoint with a static IP your team can allowlist — no server to patch and no box of your own exposed to the internet.

See File Transfer

PGP Encrypt And Decrypt

Paychex payroll and benefits files are usually PGP-encrypted. Files.com decrypts inbound files and encrypts outbound ones in the flow, with keys you control.

See PGP Encryption

Route Each Feed Automatically

An Automation renames, splits, and routes each payroll, GL, or 401(k) feed to the right provider folder on a schedule, and retries on failure instead of paging someone.

See Automations

Scope Every Provider

Each retirement provider, insurance carrier, or downstream system gets its own folder, its own credentials, and its own permissions — with a full record of every file they sent or received.
