Paychex provides employers the ability to report payroll totals online, via fax or by phone. It is entirely the business owners responsibility to report the proper hours to Paychex.
It is impossible for any payroll processing company to know what the make up of the hours submitted by the business owner are unless explicitly directed.
for example it is quite possible to report 80 hours and have no overtime. It is also possible to have 40 hours of overtime based on your state laws.
You should simply contact your state offices and provide accurate records of the hours in question.
In my opinion

I work for Paychex & this is the deal. Yes Paychex is a 3rd party processor and does what the employer tels them to do. If your wife is having a problem with overtime, then she needs to contact the Department of Labor in your state.
Paychex only advises of the laws, but cannot make the employer comply. I have delt with several situation where the state was called by an employee & we had to gather records for overtime and comp time. When the employer was found in violation, it was just that .. a violation of the employer.
