Transform payroll checking from a constant battle to a gentle breeze.
What if checking payroll was faster, more accurate, and actually helped you prevent errors instead of just finding them?
We've taken everything you currently do across six reports and multiple screens and consolidated it into one dashboard – then added intelligence that learns what matters to your organisation.
The challenge you face every pay cycle
Your payroll team knows the drill: toggling between six different reports, jumping across multiple screens, and manually comparing this period against the last. The hidden costs add up.
Time drain
Payroll managers spending 3-5 hours per pay cycle on manual verification and toggling screens.
Risk and anxiety
Critical errors discovered too late, and the constant anxiety about what you might have missed.
Tribal knowledge
New team members take months to learn the patterns, while experienced staff carry the burden.
One screen. Complete intelligence. Total confidence.
Payroll IQ transforms verification from a manual detective process into an intelligent quality assurance system. It's a key part of our vision for AI-native payroll.
Save 3+ hours per cycle
Stop toggling between reports. Everything – variances, explanations, approvals – lives in one place.
Catch errors early
Intelligent pattern recognition flags anomalies automatically. High-risk items surface immediately.
Never miss changes
Automatic change tracking shows exactly what's different since you last checked. No mental gymnastics.
Capture knowledge
The system learns that casual hours vary but full-timers should be consistent. It applies that knowledge automatically.
Collaborate without chaos
Each person sees what others have reviewed. No duplicate effort. No missed items.
Instant explanations
Why did Sarah's pay increase? The system tells you: 'Rate changed plus 2.5 hours overtime.' No digging.
Real-world scenarios
See the difference in your daily life.
Before Payroll IQ
The Monday morning check
Emma opens six different reports. Reviews the Error report (24 items). Checks the Variance report (18 employees). Opens the Zero report (32 employees). Switches screens to drill down.
With Payroll IQ
Intelligent verification
Emma opens Payroll IQ. The system has auto-validated 87% of pays as low-risk. 12 high-risk items are flagged (all legitimate). She reviews high-risk items in 20 minutes.
Before Payroll IQ
The mid-period crisis
Tuesday afternoon: HR backdates a promotion effective last week. Payroll won't know until they check the virtual run days later. By then, the adjustment is complicated.
With Payroll IQ
Instant flagging
The system flags the backdated change immediately. Risk level: High. Explanation: "Rate changed from $52k to $58k effective 6 days ago." Payroll sees it Tuesday afternoon.
Before Payroll IQ
The temp payroll manager
Jason just started. He asks Sarah what to look for. She explains the patterns, but there are so many. Jason takes notes but misses things.
With Payroll IQ
Systemic knowledge
Jason opens Payroll IQ. High-risk items are already flagged. Explanations tell him why each item needs attention. He uses pre-built checking rules.

Phase 2: Intelligence layer (Week 1)
Enable automatic risk assessment. Deploy pre-built checking rules from the template library and configure thresholds for your organisation.
Phase 3: Custom automation (Week 2-4)
Create organisation-specific checking rules in plain English. Build automated alerts for your edge cases and customize risk levels for different scenarios.
