What's hard about Paychex Flex today.

Paychex Flex runs payroll and HR for many small and mid size businesses. Getting those changes into Okta usually means a paid connection or someone retyping them, so access lags behind the people who actually work there.

What StitchOps does in Paychex Flex.

Joiners in Okta before day one

When HR adds a new hire in Paychex Flex, StitchOps creates them in Okta before their start date, so Okta can give them the apps their role needs on day one.

Role changes that update access

When Paychex Flex shows a new job, department, manager or location, StitchOps updates the person in Okta, and Okta adds and removes app access to match.

Leavers removed on their last day

When a last day arrives in Paychex Flex, StitchOps deactivates the person in Okta, and Okta removes their access in every app it manages.

Email and username written back

Once Okta has the new person's email and username, StitchOps writes them back to their record in Paychex Flex, so HR and IT see the same details.

Payroll changes, carried into Okta

Changes made in Paychex Flex reach Okta without an export or a spreadsheet, so access follows the payroll record.

No API fee, no custom development

StitchOps does not need a paid Paychex Flex API, a SCIM upgrade or a custom integration. It reads changes the way your HR team sees them, or uses a connection you already have.

Common questions.

Do we need a Paychex Flex API or SCIM connection?

What login does StitchOps need in Paychex Flex?

A login that can see hires, job changes and terminations, kept in your vault (1Password or Keeper) or the StitchOps vault. StitchOps runs on a dedicated worker VM in your environment, and models never see the credentials.

For your IT team

Where it runs: An agent runs an unattended desktop session on a dedicated worker VM in your environment, on Windows or macOS. It connects outbound only over TLS 1.2 or later. No inbound ports are opened.
Credentials: Credentials stay in your vault (1Password or Keeper) or in the StitchOps vault, encrypted with AWS KMS and resolved on the worker at run time. Models never see the values.

Logs and telemetry: Every run keeps step level logs with status, timing and redacted results. Telemetry is content free: no field values, no personal data, no screenshots.
Security reviews: SOC 2 Type 2 examination completed, with HIPAA and GDPR Article 5 attestations, by Sensiba LLP. Penetration tested by a third party. ISO 27001 certification being finalized. The security packet is shared under NDA.
