Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Plan Committee
Paychex, Inc. 401(k)
Incentive Retirement Plan
Rochester, New York 14625
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Paychex,
Inc. 401(k) Incentive Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our
audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December
31, 2008 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.

PAYCHEX, INC. 401(k) INCENTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following brief description of the Paychex, Inc. (the Company or Paychex) 401(k) Incentive
Retirement Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. More complete
information regarding the Plans provisions may be found in the plan document and summary plan
description.
General: The Plan is a defined contribution plan qualified under Sections 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the Code), which includes provisions under Section 401(k) allowing an eligible
participant to direct the employer to contribute a portion of the participants compensation to the
Plan on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis through payroll deductions. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employer Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan was
established on July 1, 1984 and restated in April 2002 and January 2007 to include legislative and
other applicable regulatory developments through January 1, 2007 as well as to make other changes and
enhancements to the Plan.
The Plan operates in part as an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), which is designed to comply
with Section 4975(e) and the regulations under the Code. It is not currently intended that the
Plan be a leveraged ESOP, although the Plan permits the ESOP to borrow money to purchase ESOP stock
if the employer should so elect at some future date. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, all shares
of ESOP stock are allocated to participant accounts. Under this ESOP feature, participants are
able to receive dividends on their shares of Paychex common stock in the form of cash or have them
reinvested into the Fund.
Plan Amendments: The Plan was amended two times in 2008 to change certain technical definitions as
used in the Plan and to clarify Plan distribution language. The Plan was amended four times in
2007 to change certain technical definitions as used in the Plan, provide for hardship withdrawals,
and amend employer contribution vesting and employer contribution provisions. These amendments did
not have a material effect on net assets available for benefits or changes in net assets available
for benefits.
Plan Administration: The Plan is administered by the Paychex, Inc. 401(k) Incentive Retirement
Plan Committee (the Plan Committee), which is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Plans trustee and record keeper is Fidelity Investments (Fidelity), who is also the trustee
for the Paychex ESOP Stock Fund. Fidelity was responsible for the custody and management of the
Plans assets for the periods noted.
Eligible Employees: All new employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries are
eligible to participate in the salary deferral portion of the Plan immediately. Employees must be
employed for one year in which a minimum of 1,000 hours have been worked to be eligible to receive
a Company matching contribution.
6
NOTE A. PLAN DESCRIPTION (continued)
Contributions: Employees may contribute, on a pre-tax basis and/or, for the Roth 401(k) only, on
an after-tax basis, from 1% up to 50% of their compensation through payroll deductions in
increments of 1%, subject to the limitations established by the Code. The maximum annual employee
contribution to the Plan was $15,500 in 2008 and 2007. The Plan Committee may establish for any
Plan year a contribution percentage limit for highly compensated employees that is less than 50%.
Employees may also contribute amounts representing rollover distributions from other qualified
defined benefit or defined contribution plans or individual retirement accounts.
Effective September 1, 2007, the Company will make a matching contribution of up to 100% of the
first 3% of eligible pay, and up to 50% of the next 2% of eligible pay that an employee contributes
to the Plan. Prior to September 1, 2007, the Company made a matching contribution of up to 50% of
the first 6% of eligible pay that an employee contributed to the Plan. Effective April 1, 2009,
the Company has suspended the discretionary matching contribution for a twelve-month period. The
Company may also elect to make an additional discretionary contribution to the Plan, but has not
done so for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Additionally, participants who are age 50 or older by the end of the calendar year are also allowed
to make an additional catch-up contribution. This contribution was limited to $5,000 in 2008 and
2007. In 2008, the Company made a matching contribution on the catch-up contribution if the
employees regular contribution was less than 5% of eligible pay, with the total match not to
exceed 4%. The catch-up contribution was not subject to the Company matching contribution in
2007.
Vesting: Participants are fully vested as to their elective contributions and rollover
contributions as well as any earnings or losses on them. Employees are fully vested immediately
with respect to Company matching contributions made on or after September 1, 2007. For Company
match contributions made prior to September 1, 2007, employees are fully vested upon completion of
1,000 hours of service per year for three calendar years. Employees are also fully vested upon
disability, death, or the attainment of retirement age, which is age 65. Within the ESOP,
dividends received are fully vested, regardless of years of service.
Participant Accounts: The trustee maintains an account for each participant, including participant
directed allocations to each investment fund. Each participants account is credited with the
participants contribution and allocations of any employer contribution and Plan earnings, less
loans and withdrawals. The investments under the Plan are 100% participant-directed. Plan
participants can fully diversify their portfolios by choosing from any or all investment fund
choices in the Plan. Transfers in and out of investment funds, including the Paychex ESOP Stock
Fund, are not restricted, with the exception of certain restricted trading periods for individuals
designated as insiders as specified in the Paychex Insider Trading Policy. The Company matching
contributions follow the same fund elections as the employee compensation deferrals.

Participants may choose to change their investment option choices and how their contributions are
allocated to each fund chosen at any time. The Plan Committee regularly reviews performance, fees,
and other key indicators of all investment options and may enter or exit funds at its discretion
through December 31, 2007. As part of the 2007 Plan restatement, after December 31, 2007, the Plan
Committee may enter and exit funds at its discretion with the exception of the Paychex ESOP Stock
Fund.
Forfeited Accounts: Forfeited non-vested assets are used to reduce future employer contributions.
Total forfeitures used to reduce employer contributions were approximately $174,000 and $302,000
for 2008 and 2007, respectively. Forfeited balances not yet applied to reduce employer
contributions as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not material to the financial
statements.
Participant Loans: The Plan allows participants to borrow from a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum
equal to the lesser of 50% of their vested account balance, or $50,000 reduced by the highest
outstanding loan balance in the previous twelve months. Only one loan may be outstanding at any
time. The rate of interest is the prime lending rate plus 1% at the time the loan is disbursed.
Payroll deductions are required to repay the principal and interest on the loan within four and
one-half years, except for loans used for the purchase of a principal residence, which are required
to be repaid within nine and one-half years. Participant loans are subject to a one-time,
non-refundable loan origination fee of $75, which is deducted from the participants account.
8
NOTE A. PLAN DESCRIPTION (continued)
Withdrawals: As of December 1, 2007, withdrawals for financial hardship are permitted provided
they are for a significant and immediate financial need, meet the applicable hardship criteria as
outlined in the Code, and the distribution is necessary to satisfy that need. Participants are
required to fully use the Plan loan program, described above, before requesting a hardship
withdrawal, must exhaust all other eligible withdrawals available in the Plan, and prior to October
2008, only one hardship withdrawal may be made in any twelve-month period. Effective October 2008,
one hardship withdrawal may be taken each calendar year. For actively employed Plan participants,
the Plan also allows for: partial withdrawals of vested balances at age 59 1/2; withdrawals of
rollover contributions made prior to April 15, 2002; and withdrawals of dividends on the
participants shares of Paychex common stock in the form of cash, if desired.
Payment
of Benefits: Upon separation from employment, at retirement, or reaching the age of 59 1/2, a
participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participants
vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments over a fixed period of time.
Participants electing to receive the vested interest in their ClearCourse Group Variable Annuity in
a lump-sum amount at the age of 65 or older receive a lifetime retirement income guarantee, between
the ages of 55 and 64 receive a reduced lifetime retirement income guarantee, and prior to age 55
forfeit the lifetime retirement income guarantee.
Voting and Tender Offer Rights on ESOP Stock: Each participant in the Paychex ESOP Stock Fund is
entitled to exercise voting rights on shares held in his or her account and also direct the ESOP
trustee to tender his or her shares of ESOP Stock if an offer is made to purchase such shares. If
the participant does not vote or indicate his or her preference with respect to a tender offer, the
trustee will vote participants shares and unallocated shares in the same proportion as the shares
for which the trustee has received instructions.
ESOP Stock at Time of Distribution: Under Federal income tax regulations, if ESOP stock should not
be readily tradable on an established market at the time of a participants distribution, the
Company will issue a put option to the participant. The put option allows the participant to sell
ESOP stock to the Company at a price that is representative of the fair market value of the stock.
If the put option is exercised with respect to ESOP stock distributed as part of a total
distribution, then the Company can pay for the purchase with interest over a period not to exceed
five years. If the put option is exercised with respect to an installment distribution, then the
Company must pay for the purchase within thirty days of the exercise of the option.
Plan Termination: Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to
the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become fully vested
in their account balances.
9
NOTE B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting: The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis
of accounting in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the
Plan Committee to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition: Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value
is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note D for discussion of fair
value measurements.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Net realized gains or losses
upon the sale of investments are based on their average cost. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Contributions: Contributions from the Company are accrued for in accordance with the terms of the
Plan. Participant contributions are recorded in the period the Company makes corresponding payroll
deductions.
Payment of Benefits: Benefits are recorded when paid.
Reclassifications: Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current years presentation.
10
NOTE C. INVESTMENTS
The change in fair value of the Plans investments, including net realized and unrealized gains and
losses, is as follows:

NOTE D. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement
clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
expands the disclosures on fair value measurements; however, this standard does not require any new
fair value measurements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the
Plans net assets available for benefits.
In determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Plan uses various valuation
approaches, predominantly the market and cost approaches. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy for
information and valuations used in measuring fair value that is broken down into three levels based
on reliability. Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that the Plan has the ability to access. Level 2 valuations are based on
inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable, either directly or
indirectly. Level 3 valuations are based on information that is unobservable and significant to
the overall fair value measurement.
11
NOTE D. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
Mutual funds and Paychex common stock, which is the sole investment in the Paychex ESOP Stock Fund,
are stated at their approximate fair value based on quoted market prices. The Annuity Fund,
ClearCourse Group Variable Annuity, is valued by Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company using
the quoted market price of the underlying investments (GE Investment Funds, Inc.Total Return Fund
Class 2) less applicable ClearCourse asset charges. Participant loans are valued at the principal
amount, which approximates fair value.
The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of
net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes
its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of
different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments
could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The following table presents information on the Plans financial assets measured at fair value on a
recurring basis under SFAS No. 157 as of December 31, 2008:

NOTE E. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan provides for certain investments that are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate
risk, credit risk, and market volatility risk. The Plan attempts to limit these risks by
authorizing and offering participants a broad range of investment options that are invested in high
quality securities or are offered and administered by reputable and known investment and insurance
companies. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is
reasonably possible that changes in values of investment securities will occur in the near term,
and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and of changes in net assets available for benefits.
The Plans exposure to a concentration of risk is limited by the diversification of investments
across twenty-seven participant-directed fund elections. Additionally, the investments within each
participant-directed fund election are further diversified into varied financial instruments, with
the exception of the Paychex ESOP Stock Fund, which invests in a single security.
NOTE F. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Plans holdings of Paychex common stock qualify as a party-in-interest transaction. Also, all
transactions between the Plan and Fidelity qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of
December 31, 2008, the Plan held 4,122,516 shares of Paychex common stock at a fair market value of
$108,339,720. As of December 31, 2007, the Plan held 3,978,867 shares of Paychex common stock at a
fair market value of $144,114,563.
As of December 31, 2008, the American Funds Growth Fund of America held 19,316,400 shares of
Paychex common stock, which represents 5.4% of the Companys outstanding common stock as of that
date.
Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company. The Company paid approximately
$133,000 and $166,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively, in administrative expenses.
NOTE G. TAX STATUS
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dated May
21, 2008, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) and Section 4975(e) of the Code
and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the
IRS, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the
Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Committee believes the Plan is being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as
amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
13
NOTE H. RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO IRS FORM 5500
As allowed by ERISA, the Plan has chosen to prepare its IRS Form 5500 on the cash basis of
accounting. The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with GAAP. The following is a reconciliation between the net assets available for
benefits as reported in the financial statements to the net assets available for benefits as
reported in IRS Form 5500.
