The new solutions available in Paychex Flex®, the company’s cloud-based HR technology platform, include:
COVID-19 Leave Tracking: Administrators can now identify an employee-submitted issue as related to COVID-19 through the HR Connect feature in Paychex Flex. Scenarios include requesting personal protective equipment (PPE), questioning a company procedure related to COVID-19, and requesting leave to care for a family member or child attending school virtually. Following case submission, administrators are prompted to indicate if the issue is related to COVID-19 and whether the employee requested time off.
COVID-19 Screening: A successful return to work strategy for many businesses will include employees coming back to a physical work environment. For that reason, Paychex has made a COVID-19 screening solution available through its Employment Screening Services product, giving employers a way to initiate employee COVID-19 screenings and track test results within a single platform. This helps employers to more effectively manage when individual employees can safely return to work.
