AI-Driven Payroll Intelligence
Predictive payroll forecasting
By analyzing historical timesheets, hiring cycles, seasonality, and benefits enrollment patterns, cloud models forecast payroll cash needs weeks in advance. Finance gains clarity, payroll gains confidence, and employees gain assurance their salaries will land on time.
Anomaly detection and fraud prevention
Machine learning flags suspicious overtime spikes, duplicate contractor records, and unfamiliar bank changes before processing. One manufacturer avoided costly errors when an AI rule surfaced a last-minute pay rate change that did not match approved job bands.
Conversational payroll assistants
Employees ask natural questions—“When is my next pay?”—and receive precise, policy-aware answers. HR teams reclaim hours weekly while chat assistants capture context, route exceptions, and learn from resolutions, improving response quality with every pay cycle.
Real-Time Pay and Global Compliance by Design
With real-time rails and digital wallets, employees can access earned wages safely between cycles. A hospitality chain reduced turnover after introducing instant tips, aligning cash flow with unpredictable shifts while maintaining tax and reporting integrity.
Real-Time Pay and Global Compliance by Design
Policy engines encode jurisdictional thresholds, tax brackets, and leave entitlements, updating continuously. When legislation shifts, configurations propagate without re-coding, helping global teams avoid penalties and giving payroll leaders the confidence to scale across borders gracefully.
Zero Trust Security for Sensitive Payroll Data
Role-based and attribute-based controls ensure only the right people see the right data at the right time. Sessions are continuously validated, and context—location, device posture, and behavior—adjusts permissions dynamically across payroll operations.
Zero Trust Security for Sensitive Payroll Data
Sensitive payroll fields remain encrypted in transit and at rest, with keys managed separately. Emerging confidential computing isolates processing in secure enclaves, protecting calculations even from infrastructure operators, reducing exposure during high-volume payroll runs.
Zero Trust Security for Sensitive Payroll Data
Every change—who edited allowances, who approved adjustments, which API updated bank details—is recorded immutably. During a quarterly review, a fintech reconciled discrepancies in minutes using tamper-evident logs instead of weeks of manual email trails.
Automation and No-Code Orchestration
When a new hire is finalized, a workflow automatically sets tax elections, enrolls benefits, validates bank accounts, and schedules first pay. Errors drop because steps execute in the correct order, with alerts for incomplete data.
Automation and No-Code Orchestration
Drag-and-drop integrations connect HRIS, time tracking, and general ledger systems without custom code. Templates accelerate onboarding for typical scenarios—seasonal staffing surges, bonus runs, or retro pay—so teams scale operations without scaling complexity.
Modern Architecture: Serverless, APIs, and Extensibility
Serverless runtimes scale seamlessly for peak payroll windows, then scale down automatically. A retail payroll team handled holiday spikes without manual provisioning, freeing engineers to focus on accuracy, testing, and new feature experimentation.
Modern Architecture: Serverless, APIs, and Extensibility
Clean, well-documented APIs let partners extend payroll—from benefits marketplaces to earned wage access providers. Webhooks broadcast events so downstream systems reconcile payouts, taxes, and journals in near real time, maintaining a synchronized financial backbone.
Elevating the Employee Experience
Employees update bank details, view payslips, and download tax forms from intuitive mobile apps. One nurse shared relief at fixing a direct deposit typo during a lunch break, avoiding a missed rent payment entirely.
