Payroll Providers are the payroll services you export to — ADP, Paychex, Paylocity, or include GO's own internal handling. Setting up a provider lets you hand off a processed payroll run to the system that actually cuts the checks and files the taxes.
Where to find Payroll Providers
From the left sidebar choose HR & Payroll, then Payroll Providers.

What you see on this screen
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The provider — ADP, GO (internal), Paychex, Paylocity. |
| Provider Code | The system code for that provider (adp, go_internal, paychex, paylocity). |
| Status | Whether the provider is active. |
| Default | The provider used unless you choose another. |
Adding and editing
Click Add to set up a provider, give it a name and code, and mark it active. Set one as the default so new payroll runs export to it automatically. Right-click a row for its actions.
How Payroll Providers connect to the rest of the app
When a payroll run is ready to export, the provider determines the export format (each service expects its own file layout). See Payroll for the export step.
Permissions
Viewing requires HR view access; adding or editing providers requires the manage permission.
