Why do employers use the paychex new employee form to onboard new employees instead of other methods, such as online forms or email communications?
Employers use the Paychex New Hire form to collect the most pertinent information on a new employee. This information is then processed by Paychex and relevant data is sent to the company prior to the start date or following a specified time frame. The ability to process this information enables employers to quickly have access to their new employee information and resume building through Paychex.
The Paychex New Hire form has evolved to the point that it is a very important part of the new hire process. While the information it collects is similar to other forms, there are a few details that set this form apart from others. A few of these details include:
1) The form must be completed online. This is done through an online portal provided by Paychex.
2) It must be completed prior to the start date or after a specified time frame following hire date.
3) It must be used solely to gather the information needed by the company to onboard or offboard new employees.
4) The form must be completed in full and submitted. Information cannot be collected first and then completed later.
5) Paychex will forward relevant data to the employer once all questions have been answered correctly. This can include personal identifiable information (PII), including certain credit card details, student loan information, and other employment related information.
6) It is a Paychex system that is audited daily for accuracy. Any changes that need to be made, including employee status changes, will be made by Paychex.

How long does it typically take for a new employee to fully complete the paychex new employee form and return it to their employer?
The Paychex New Hire form can be completed by the candidate, who will then return the form to their employer. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on how quickly the candidate can complete the form. The second way a company can use Paychex New Hire is to have a representative from Paychex complete it. In this case, the form is completed and returned to the employer within 24-48 hours.
Paychex New Hire allows a company to get information that they need as soon as an employee begins working for them. They are able to be sure that the company’s money is going only to their employees and not to others, or for other reasons. The forms provide verification that the candidates have the education and experience listed on their resumes and cover letters, as well as Social Security numbers, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and contact information for emergency purposes. They also can incorporate the Paychex New Hire Form into their own internal hiring and human resource forms, to make things easier down the road for their team.
All information is stored in a secure environment where confidential information is not at risk of being compromised or misused. The company, and its employees, can feel confident that their personal information is safe.

Are there any potential dangers associated with providing incorrect or incomplete information on the paychex new employee form ?
There can be safety concerns if the Paychex New Hire form is not completed accurately or is returned late. With the information collected on this form, employers are able to get an accurate resume for their new employee, facilitate background checks and criminal history reports, and ensure that all necessary documents and approvals from Paychex are in place prior to the new employee’s start date. Incomplete or incorrect forms can delay the process of onboarding a new employee and may result in a delay or cancellation of a Paychex new hire.
Incorrect or missing information can delay the hiring process or result in paying an employee to wait, which is never a good thing. Incorrect information may also prevent an employer from taking the necessary steps to ensure proper and safe employment practices. Paychex forms and online resource tools allow for employees to update their personal information, and employers will be notified if changes are made. The Paychex New Hire form can be completed and submitted anytime of the day or night through the mail, fax, or online.

Can employees access a copy of the paychex new employee form for their own records once they have completed it and returned it to their employer ?
Yes, employees can access a copy of the Paychex New Hire form after completion. To do so, the employee must log in to their Employee Self-Service (ESS) account and go to the Paychex “My Forms” page, which displays all forms previously completed by the employee. From here, the employee can save a copy of the Paychex New Hire Form and receive a link to print it. Once the form is printed, the employee may not share or disclose it with anyone.
