The Company also has a subsidiary in Germany. Paychex, a Delaware corporation formed in 1979, reports as one segment. Substantially all of the Companys revenue is generated within the U.S. The Company also generates revenue within Germany, which was less than one percent of its total revenue for the six months ended November30, 2009 and 2008. Long-lived assets in Germany are insignificant in relation to total long-lived assets of the Company as of November30, 2009 and May31, 2009. Basis of presentation: The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article10 of RegulationS-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended May 31, 2009 (fiscal 2009). Operating results and cash flows for the six months ended November30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the full fiscal year ending May31, 2010 (fiscal 2010). The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through December16, 2009, the date of issuance of these financial statements. PEO revenue recognition: Professional Employer Organization (PEO) revenue is included in service revenue and is reported net of direct costs billed and incurred which include wages, taxes, benefit premiums, and claims of PEO worksite employees. Direct costs billed and incurred were $730.7 million and $637.4million for the three months ended November30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1.4billion and $1.3billion for the six months ended November30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note D: Fair Value Measurements The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, and trade accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. Marketable securities included in funds held for clients and corporate investments consist primarily of securities classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The accounting standards related to fair value measurements include a hierarchy for information and valuations used in measuring fair value that is broken down into three levels based on reliability, as follows: Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 valuations are based on quoted prices for similar, but not identical, instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or other than quoted prices observable inputs. Level 3 valuations are based on information that is unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The following table presents information on the Companys financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November30, 2009: Quoted Significant prices in other Significant Carrying active observable unobservable value markets inputs inputs In thousands (Fair value) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: Available-for-sale securities: General obligation municipal bonds $ 983,479 $ $ 983,479 $ Pre-refunded municipal bonds 575,271 575,271 Revenue municipal bonds 362,502 362,502 Variable rate demand notes 328,615 328,615 Other equity securities 74 74 Total available-for-sale securities $ 2,249,941 $ 74 $ 2,249,867 $ Other securities $ 7,001 $ 7,001 $ $ Liabilities: Other long-term liabilities $ 7,014 $ 7,014 $ $ In determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company predominately uses the market approach. In determining the fair value of its available-for-sale securities, the Company utilizes the Interactive Data Pricing service. Other securities are comprised of mutual fund investments, which are valued based on quoted market prices. Other long-term liabilities include the liability for the Companys non-qualified and unfunded deferred compensation plans, and are valued based on the quoted market prices for various mutual fund investment choices. 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.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note H: Commitments and Contingencies Lines of credit: As of November30, 2009, the Company had unused borrowing capacity available under four uncommitted, secured, short-term lines of credit at market rates of interest with financial institutions as follows: Financial institution Amount available Expiration date JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. $350 million February 2010 Bank of America, N.A. $250 million February 2010 PNC Bank, National Association $150 million February 2010 Wells Fargo Bank, National Association $150 million February 2010 The primary uses of the lines of credit would be to meet short-term funding requirements related to deposit account overdrafts and client fund obligations arising from electronic payment transactions on behalf of clients in the ordinary course of business, if necessary. No amounts were outstanding against these lines of credit as of, or during the six months ended, November30, 2009. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. are also parties to the Companys irrevocable standby letters of credit, which are discussed below. Letters of credit: As of November30, 2009, and May31, 2009, the Company had irrevocable standby letters of credit available totaling $65.8million required to secure commitments for certain insurance policies and bonding requirements. The letters of credit expire at various dates between May2010 and December2012 and are collateralized by securities held in the Companys investment portfolios. No amounts were outstanding on these letters of credit as of, or during the six months ended, November30, 2009. Other commitments: The Company enters into various purchase commitments with vendors in the ordinary course of business. The Company had outstanding commitments to purchase approximately $12.1million and $4.5million of capital assets as of November30, 2009 and May31, 2009, respectively. During the three months ended November30, 2009, the Company entered into a multi-year commitment with a vendor to purchase computer systems. The Company guarantees performance of service on annual maintenance contracts for clients who financed their service contracts through a third party. In the normal course of business, the Company makes representations and warranties that guarantee the performance of its services under service arrangements with clients. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, which require it to defend and, if necessary, indemnify these individuals for certain pending or future claims as they relate to their services provided to the Company. Historically, there have been no material losses related to such guarantees and indemnifications. Paychex currently self-insures the deductible portion of various insured exposures under certain employee benefit plans. The Companys estimated loss exposure under these insurance arrangements is recorded in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
