AI agent for human resources directors
Open Enrollment Readiness Agent
An open enrollment with correct deductions, clear communication and every election collected.
What it does
A deduction is set up wrong during open enrollment and 40 employees see the wrong pay in January. This agent reads plan changes and rates and builds the employee communication timeline. It tests the deduction setup on a sample, tracks completion and chases missing elections. It rechecks the sample after fixes. It compares the first payroll run in the sample against what each employee should pay, and it keeps a list of who has not yet made a choice so reminders go only to the people who still need them. Results of each test are saved so HR can show they were checked. Edge case: a plan's rate changed mid-year for part-time staff, so the agent tests that group separately. HR approves communications and final files.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
