The challenges and uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic have only reinforced Paychex's commitment to removing uncertainty and complexity from the daily operations and HR functions of businesses. The investments Paychex has made in its software and solutions, as well as its comprehensive COVID-19 Help Center with daily updates, live webinars, podcasts, in-depth articles and more, have been valuable lifelines in helping businesses manage pandemic-related cash-flow challenges and transition employees to remote or hybrid work environments.
