The whole payroll process, from employee data to reconciliation

AI Payroller connects employee and employment data, pay-period input collection, calculation and post-payroll work in one process. It helps manage continuous changes and ensures that the right information is available for the right pay period.

The whole payroll process, from continuous preparation to reconciliation

Employee and employment data stays up to date continuously. Pay-period inputs are collected from defined sources, reviewed and approved before calculation. Automation continues after each payroll run.

  1. Continuously up to date

    Employee and employment data ready

    • Employment starts and ends
    • Salary and contract changes with effective dates

  3. During calculation

    Calculate from approved inputs and rules

    • Current salary and valid employment terms
    • Collective agreements, company terms and commission rules
    • Garnishments and other deductions

  4. After calculation

    Delivery, reporting and reconciliation

    • Payment files and payslip delivery
    • Accounting entries and statutory reports
    • Retrieving and automatically comparing Incomes Register totals
    • Tax correspondence, transactions and liability tracking
    Explore the steps after calculation

Software executes. People oversee and approve.

Company rules, checks and responsibilities become part of a repeatable process. Agree which steps are automated and where people review and approve. Payment approval is a separate decision.

Employee and employment data ready before the payroll run

Pay-period processing starts by ensuring that every employee is included and the required information is current. AI Payroller helps identify missing information and process employment and salary changes according to their effective dates.

Required employee information

Check that payroll has the necessary personal, employment and salary data, such as current tax-card data, occupation class and a formally valid IBAN.

Employment changes

Starting and ending employment is applied to the correct pay period. Fixed-term employment and other changes can be tracked at the same time.

Salary changes

A new salary or another change to employment terms is stored with its effective date, reviewed and approved before calculation.

Electronic garnishment orders

A received garnishment order is assigned to the correct employee. Its validity and subsequent changes are taken into account in calculation.

Pay-period inputs from the right sources

Define what each company or payroll group needs for every pay period and where the information comes from. For some, working time and absences are sufficient. Others also need benefits, commissions or additional payroll events.

My AI Payroller

Employees can submit working time, shifts, travel expenses and other expenses in the mobile service.

Input collection forms

Employees or company contacts can submit other payroll information through a form link sent by email.

Your current systems

HR, working-time and other payroll data can be imported through agreed integrations.

Reminders and tracking

Reminders help get information in on time. Payroll sees what is missing or waiting for approval, while pre-checks flag inconsistencies.

Put approved hours straight into payroll

Employees record working time, shifts and absences and submit travel and other expenses in the My AI Payroller mobile service. Time entries can also be imported from your existing time tracking system through an integration. Use by employees of accounting firm clients is also included, with no fee per employee. Approved inputs are ready for payroll.

  • Working time, absences and corrections
  • Send approved hours to payroll
  • Apply the relevant agreement rules to recorded hours

Apply collective agreements and your own pay terms

Collective agreements, company agreements and individual terms all affect pay. Turn them into calculation rules that your payroll team can check and approve.

  • Industry collective agreements, company collective agreements and local agreements
  • Approved exceptions and employee-specific terms
  • The source agreement, effective dates and calculation rule

AI helps interpret agreement terms. A payroll specialist reviews the interpretation and approves the rule before it is used in calculation.

Build approvals around your team’s responsibilities

The people checking hours, approving payroll inputs and authorising payment may be different. AI Payroller sends each request through the approval steps you define.

  • Set different approvers for each payroll stage
  • Approve inputs, return them for correction and track progress
  • Separate decisions for approving input and authorising payment
A separate owner for each decision

Approving hours and authorising payment are separate decisions.

Calculate commissions your way

AI Payroller applies your compensation model to sales data. Each commission can be traced back to the sale and the rule behind it.

  • Use your own commission rates and calculation basis
  • Review the sales data, rule and calculated amount together
  • Approve commissions and handle corrections

We configure tiers, sales credits and other exceptions to match your compensation model.

Example commission 2,070

We support company-specific commission models. Here is one example.

Edit the example model
Commission-free portion€1,000.00 × 0 %
€0.00
Between thresholds€19,000.00 × 3 %
€570.00
Above upper threshold€30,000.00 × 5 %
€1,500.00
The initial commission-free portion always earns 0%. Each following rate applies only to the sales within its own tier. Try changing sales, thresholds and rates.

Same data. Same rules. Same result.

AI Payroller’s calculation engine uses approved data and programmed rules. When the inputs and rule version stay the same, so does the calculated amount.

  • AI helps interpret information and suggests actions
  • The calculation engine works out pay using approved rules
  • You can also keep calculation in your existing payroll software

Reliable calculation depends on checked inputs and correctly configured rules. Review and approval remain part of every payroll run.

Total gross pay 4,175
Base salary €2,500
Allowances €175
Commission €1,500

Each pay item retains its source data and calculation rule for review.

An example before tax and employee contributions.

Pay calculated. Follow-up work under control.

Payment files, payslip delivery, accounting entries and statutory reports follow the setup in use. AI Payroller retrieves Incomes Register summaries through an API and automatically compares them with payroll data.

Incomes Register reconciliation is included. There is no separate reconciliation service fee.

Tax correspondence brings together Finnish Tax Administration decisions and requests for clarification. Tax account transactions and notices about overdue taxes or employer contributions keep follow-up work in the same process.

  • Automatic request, retrieval and comparison of Incomes Register dataset 312
  • Investigate differences and approve corrections
  • Review recorded changes and approvals

Incomes Register dataset 312 contains summary information. Reconciliation covers those totals; individual reporting fields and agreement interpretations need separate checks.

Difference to investigate 50
Payroll data €12,500
Incomes Register summary €12,450

This compares summary data. Reporting fields and agreement interpretations need separate checks.

The example starts with a €50 difference against dataset 312.

Tax correspondence and transactions in the payroll process

The person responsible handles requests, differences and notices. Less manual work is needed to retrieve information and check its status.

Tax correspondence

Keep Finnish Tax Administration decisions and requests for clarification alongside payroll. The person responsible handles matters that need attention.

Tax account transactions and notices

Track tax account transactions and notices about overdue taxes and employer contributions. Required authorisations and settings are defined during setup.

Pay transparency documents prepared automatically

AI Payroller automatically prepares documents required under the EU Pay Transparency Directive using payroll data and confirmed employee categories. Payroll and HR spend less time compiling the same figures into separate reports.
