Payroll Pre-Run Data Check Agent

Send clean, approved data to payroll before every run

Payroll Pre-Run Data Check Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A missing bank account or a salary change entered twice creates a pay error that takes days to fix. Before each payroll run, this agent compares the HR data with the last cycle. It lists everything that changed: new hires, leavers, salary and rate changes, status changes, address and bank changes. It checks each for missing data such as bank, tax, rate and status, compares pay changes with the approval records, and flags oddities like a raise of 40%, an employee paid twice or a leaver still active. It sends HR the list of fixes, then rechecks after corrections. Payroll approves the run. Edge case: a large bonus has a valid approval but is entered in the wrong period, so the agent flags the period.

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.

How it decides

It flags any change without an approval record, any missing required field and any pay value outside the usual range for that employee.

  • Flag any pay change of over 15% for review
  • Block any employee with a missing bank or tax field
  • Flag a leaver with an active pay status
  • Require an approval record for every rate change

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Required fields
  • Pay change threshold (default 15%)
  • Days before cut-off to run (default 8)
  • Approval records source
  • Who receives flags

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • HR approves fix requests
  • Payroll approves the run

Hard limits

  • Never edit HR or payroll data
  • Never approve or release a payroll run

It stops when

  • Done: all flags are closed and payroll approves
  • Stop: cut-off is reached with open flags and payroll decides

An example run

What happensEight days before cut-off, the agent found 23 flags among 640 employees. Nine had no bank details, 4 had no approval for a raise, one leaver was still active and one raise was 42%. HR fixed 20. The recheck found a new flag because a corrected bank entry used the wrong country code, so the check failed. After a second round all were closed, and payroll approved.
