PAYROLL WITH YOUR SMART WATCH

[Lee B]

"Paychex announced Paychex Voice Assist, a new voice feature for its Paychex Flex SaaS solution that allows for hands-free functionality for payroll processing.

Working through any Google Assistant-compatible device — whether smart phone, smart watch, smart speaker or smart TV — Paychex Voice Assist uses the sound of a verified user's voice to do things like starting a pay period or acting on one already in progress, applying standard pay, making adjustments, reviewing totals, and submitting payroll for processing. Admins can also receive real-time notifications with payroll data insights, review and adjust hours and pay rates, and submit checks for payday."
