Paychex has 1,000 clients for its PEP, company says
Most of the new PEPs clients have not previously offered a retirement plan to their employees, often because of the administrative burden of setting up a 401(k).

Human resources outsourcing firm Paychex has signed up at least 1,000 businesses for its pooled employer plan, the company said Tuesday.
The businesses are among the roughly 700,000 existing clients that use Paychex’s other services, such as payroll and human capital management, according to the firm. Most of the new pooled employer plan, or PEPs, clients have not previously offered a retirement plan to their employees, often because of the administrative burden of setting up a 401(k), said Michael Majors, senior director of national retirement sales at Paychex.
