Netchex appears under both the Employee HR Management and Payroll categories on the Integrations page. It is one integration that covers both capabilities. Connecting the integration in either category automatically enables it in both (the integration will display as connected in both categories).
A Netchex integration cannot be connected if another HR Employee Management or Payroll integration is enabled. The Connect button will be disabled.
