Paychex Flex
by Paychex
Paychex Flex stores each company's workers, pay periods, issued checks and the pay components that make up gross pay, from earnings to deductions. Small and mid-sized businesses, and accountants who serve several of them, rely on those records. In a Lake, checks become a payroll cost history that lines up with the general ledger, scheduling data and revenue by location.

03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
Paychex Flex uses OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token). You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Paychex if you need help.
04Questions
Questions you can answer.
Once Paychex Flex data is in your Lake, ask an AI Mind in plain words or build the answer in DataPrism BI.
- What is total payroll cost per pay period by company and work location?
- How much overtime pay did each department pay out last quarter compared with the one before?
- Which deductions changed for workers between consecutive pay periods?
- What share of payroll goes to earnings types other than regular pay?
