This topic discusses File Exchange for myPay Solutions.

What is File Exchange

File Exchange is a secure file transfer option for myPay clients and referring accountants to use when communicating sensitive information. Personal Identifying Information (PII) should not be emailed or faxed to myPay Solutions under any circumstances. These forms of communication are not completely secure and personal employee or company data should be protected.

How do I get to File Exchange

  1. Log into to your portal.
  2. On the left, under Documents, click on File Exchange.
  3. Click on your company named folder. You will see the documents that are currently contained in that folder.

After opening your client folder, you will see a handful of icons at the top of the screen.

Removing new tag from files

In the off chance that your Payroll Specialist uploads a few reports to your File Exchange and you do not need them after all, you can either delete them or wait for them to be deleted. If you wait, you may want to remove the New file tag that will show on all of those files unless you open them.

  1. Files with the New tag can have the tag removed without opening each file.
