\n

In brief.<\/strong> This use case consists of assessing how to: gather inputs, normalize formats, flag inconsistencies, and prepare a controlled payroll input file.<\/p>\n

\n

How it works today<\/h2>\n

Leave, absences, hours, and variable pay arrive through emails, spreadsheets, and different systems before payroll close.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Where time is lost<\/h2>\n

Inputs arrive in different formats, and errors surface too close to payroll close.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

What can be automated<\/h2>\n

Gather inputs, normalize formats, flag inconsistencies, and prepare a controlled payroll input file.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\"Possible<\/picture>
Illustrative workflow; exceptions still need review.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

How a workflow could work<\/h2>\n

A practical flow takes inputs from the relevant sources, checks them against agreed rules, performs routine actions, and sends uncertain cases to a person.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

What still needs a person<\/h2>\n

HR and payroll validate inputs, resolve discrepancies, and run payroll.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Systems that may be involved<\/h2>\n

HRIS, time tracking, spreadsheets, and payroll software.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

When it is worth assessing<\/h2>\n

When payroll close receives inputs from several sources that must be checked before processing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

What not to assume<\/h2>\n

The scope is input preparation and validation, not full payroll processing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

How Smartservices approaches it<\/h2>\n

We map the existing process, verify data and system access, define controls and a human review point, then scope an integration or automation around the actual workflow.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
