# Applying the Toku Deduction in Paychex

> How Toku applies the stablecoin deduction through Paychex worker pay components

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:

```json theme={null}
{
  "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.

<Note>
  The full pay component payload reference is available in the partner-gated [Paychex API reference](https://developer.paychex.com/) — the JSON above is illustrative, not the complete schema. The deduction pay component itself is configured once during implementation with the Toku team.
</Note>

## 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 |

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

## 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.
