As an added layer of convenience, Paychex has a mobile app that you can use to view your accounts. Through this app, you and your employees can check your investments and review contribution amounts, as well as access various other functions that generally are accessed via the desktop version.
Paychex also assigns each customer a dedicated team during onboarding to help them build, administer and troubleshoot a retirement plan tailored to the business’s unique needs. Unfortunately, like many of the employee benefits retirement providers we reviewed, Paychex does not disclose its pricing and fees online. You must contact the company to request a free quote, but this is easily accomplished online or via phone.
Paychex users also have the option of receiving financial wellness services through FinFit. With this program, employees can ensure they know where they stand regarding current financial obligations, which can help them decide how much they should be investing toward their retirement.
