Applying the Toku Deduction in Paychex

Each pay period, Toku applies one dedicated deduction per participating worker, using Paychex pay components — the resource Paychex uses for both earnings and deductions. This is the only write Toku performs against your Paychex account.

Resource

Toku manages the deduction as a recurring, effective-dated pay component on the worker:

/workers/{workerId}/paycomponents

A minimal, illustrative request body:

{
  "componentId": "<toku_deduction_component_id>",
  "effectDate": "2026-07-01",
  "value": "250.00"
}

For one-off adjustments, Paychex also supports adding pay component lines directly to a worker’s unprocessed check for the current period; once a check is processed, its pay components can no longer be changed.

The full pay component payload reference is available in the partner-gated Paychex API reference — the JSON above is illustrative, not the complete schema. The deduction pay component itself is configured once during implementation with the Toku team.

How the Amount Is Set

The worker’s stablecoin election in Toku determines the amount for each pay period.
Toku updates the pay component before checks are processed each cycle, so election changes take effect on the next run automatically.
The line item appears as a dedicated Toku deduction on the worker’s check, so pay statements stay self-explanatory.

Guarantees

Behavior	Detail
One line item	Exactly one Toku deduction per participating worker per pay period
No gross changes	Gross pay, taxes, and every other pay component are untouched
Unprocessed only	Toku only writes to pay components before the check is processed
Reversible	Removing a worker’s election stops the deduction from the next period

Toku never modifies compensation, tax withholding, direct deposit, or existing pay components in Paychex — the scope of write access is limited to the Toku deduction itself.

Reconciliation

After checks are processed, Toku reads the finalized checks, confirms each applied deduction, and releases the matching on-chain stablecoin payments. Any mismatch blocks settlement and is surfaced in the Toku dashboard before funds move.
