Paychex Inc

Paychex handles the behind-the-scenes work that keeps employees paid and benefits running smoothly for other companies. They calculate paychecks, file payroll taxes, manage retirement plans, administer health insurance, and provide HR support—essentially acting as an outsourced back-office for businesses that don't want to build these capabilities in-house. Their new WISE AI platform now automates many of these routine tasks without requiring constant human supervision.
