Move Paychex Payroll Files Securely
Paychex exchanges payroll, HR, and benefits files with employers and downstream vendors over SFTP, and those files are commonly PGP-encrypted. Files.com is the managed SFTP endpoint that receives, decrypts, routes, and audits every one of them.
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.
