A Paychex AI Agent That Gets Everyone’s Hours In On Time

The worst part of payroll is chasing managers for hours. The agent asks, collects the answers and checks the totals before you ever open the run.

What Your Agent Does In Paychex

  • Chases Missing Hours

    On Thursday it messages each store manager whose timesheets are incomplete and keeps a list of who has answered.

  • Checks Totals

    It compares hours and overtime per location against last period and flags the Riverside store, where overtime jumped sharply.

  • Prepares The Run

    When everything is in, the agent summarizes the payroll for you in plain words and leaves it ready for you to review and submit.

Ask In Your Own Words

Type it in any project chat, or send it from your phone. Your agent works in Paychex for you, with your own login, and reports back in the thread.

  • Which managers have not sent hours for this pay period?
  • Why is overtime so high at the Riverside location this time?
  • Summarize what is ready to submit for Friday’s payroll.
