Headcount Plan vs Actual Agent

Finance budgets for 120 people and payroll shows 126, with three open requisitions nobody mentions. This agent compares approved positions, open requisitions and payroll rosters, finds mismatches, forecasts spend and drafts questions for managers. It rechecks after each reply. It starts each month with the approved plan, adds actual employees and open requisitions, and shows each team's difference on one page. Questions to managers are specific, such as which role this person fills, so replies are quick and the numbers settle within days. It also forecasts the year's spend using each hire's expected start date, so finance sees the effect early. Edge case: a contractor converted to an employee appears in both lists, so the agent counts them once. HR approves the report before it goes to finance.
