Paychex Time and Attendance contracts
Paychex Time and Attendance module was under one contract under GOCA K-8 with separate "sites", which created some difficulties in managing employee's time cards. The recommended solution is to separate each school into individual TAA account. The cost will remain the same and for the first year will be even lower.
Recommendation to approve the updated Paychex Time and attendance contracts.
