Paychex is an outsourcing accounting service. Companies throughout the United States hire Paychex to handle payroll data.
In Connecticut, the Department of Labor law states:
B. Connecticut's Overtime Pay
Each employer shall pay 1-1/2 times the employee's regular rate of pay after 40 hours in the workweek. Overtime pay is due for actual hours worked over 40.
Clients of Paychex that pay their employees at a (2) week interval record 80 hours total, and suggest a 40/40 workweek. This means, if a person works 45 hours in their first week, and 35 hours in their second week, it is recorded as 80 hours, and no overtime is paid to the employee. According to STATE LAW, an employee that works 45 hours in a single workweek, is entitled to (5) hours of 1.5% pay for those hours worked. In Paychex accounting services, they do not account for a weekly total, and most often allow employees to receive reduced wages. Currently, my wife is a victim of this system, and through researching the Paychex corporate profile, they conduct accounting for over 572,000 companies in the United States. This means, it is a national threat to American employees.

#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Proper Reporting Corrects the Problem
AUTHOR: Tim - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 08, 2011
Paychex provides employers the ability to report payroll totals online, via fax or by phone. It is entirely the business owners responsibility to report the proper hours to Paychex.
It is impossible for any payroll processing company to know what the make up of the hours submitted by the business owner are unless explicitly directed.
for example it is quite possible to report 80 hours and have no overtime. It is also possible to have 40 hours of overtime based on your state laws.
You should simply contact your state offices and provide accurate records of the hours in question.
#1 UPDATE Employee
Contact Department of Labor

I work for Paychex & this is the deal. Yes Paychex is a 3rd party processor and does what the employer tels them to do. If your wife is having a problem with overtime, then she needs to contact the Department of Labor in your state.
Paychex only advises of the laws, but cannot make the employer comply. I have delt with several situation where the state was called by an employee & we had to gather records for overtime and comp time. When the employer was found in violation, it was just that .. a violation of the employer.
