Integrate Pescheck with Paychex
What is Paychex?
- Start screenings from Paychex
- No retyping of candidate details
- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from Paychex data
HR starts a Pescheck screening for a new hire or employee without re-entering their details.
Employee details flow in
Name, email address and job details come from Paychex, so the person gets the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible from Paychex's side as far as Paychex's API allows, so HR knows whether a check is still running or finished.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
ID scans, diplomas and criminal record certificates stay in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment, not in your payroll system. The report is available to authorised users in Pescheck.
Where screening fits in a Paychex workflow
Paychex holds the employee record that feeds payroll, so the person you screen is usually a new hire who has just been added or an existing employee. A background check fits between the signed offer and the start date, or before someone gets access to money, customer data or sensitive systems. For roles in finance, security or care, periodic re-screening of current staff is common too.
Pescheck is a screening platform from the Netherlands, built around European rules such as the GDPR. For a US company using Paychex, that is most relevant when you hire or employ people on this side of the Atlantic and need local checks such as a Dutch VOG.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with Paychex through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software that many HR tech vendors use. Your Paychex admin authorises the connection once. In Pescheck you choose which checks belong to which roles, for example ID, criminal record, diplomas, references, employment history or PEP and sanctions screening, and our integration team helps you map this to your Paychex setup.
Connect once
Your admin connects Paychex to Pescheck through Kombo with a secure authorisation. No custom development.
Start screening where you work
Recruiters and HR start a Pescheck screening from the record in Paychex. The candidate gets a secure invitation to give consent.
Follow progress in one place
Status updates come back to the record, so nobody copies data between systems.
Who uses it
The integration suits companies that run payroll and HR on Paychex and have employees or new hires in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. It gives them one GDPR compliant screening process for those people, started from the system HR already uses, with most checks completed in 1 to 3 working days.
