Grant Third-Party Administrator (TPA) Access in Illinois
A Third-Party Administrator (TPA) is an external organization or service provider that manages payroll and employee benefits on behalf of a company. To comply with Illinois state regulations, 7shifts Payroll customers must grant Check (our payroll processing partner) TPA access to the Illinois MyTax portal.
