Certified Payroll, Run on Autopilot
Weekly certified payroll is repetitive, exacting, and unforgiving of errors - the perfect job for an agent that never forgets a filing. The Certified Payroll Agent would draft each week’s WH-347 from field hours, check it against the determination, and route it for approval, riding the real prevailing-wage engine now in build.
Illustrative - in active development, sample wage data
The weekly filing, without the weekly scramble
Certified payroll is exactly the kind of work that punishes humans and suits an agent: same report, every week, per project, per classification, where one wrong fringe is a liability. The Certified Payroll Agent would assemble each week’s WH-347 from the connected field hours, check every classification and fringe against the wage determination, draft the statement of compliance, and route it to a named approver - never filing on its own.
On the governed ledger, sealed as evidence
The agent’s proposed run rides the Fintra ledger: it posts to job cost, reconciles with WIP and the pay application, and is sealed to the recomputable evidence ledger once approved. It calls the governance decision endpoint before the pay run posts, so a run with an anomaly - a fringe shortfall, an out-of-authority amount - is challenged, not paid. Real payroll anomaly detection already runs there today, so the agent proposes into a live, governed control rather than an unguarded pipe.
Where this is today
Frequently asked questions
What is the Certified Payroll Agent?
It is a proposed AI agent that runs certified payroll on autopilot - drafting each week’s WH-347 from field hours, checking classifications and fringe against the wage determination, and routing it to a named approver, without filing on its own.
Is the Certified Payroll Agent live today?
It is in build, riding the real prevailing-wage and certified-payroll engine in active development in the Fintra payroll package on sample wage data. The governed ledger, evidence sealing, and payroll anomaly detection it proposes into are live today.
Does the agent file the WH-347 by itself?
No. It drafts and checks the report and routes it to a named approver. The run must pass the governance decision endpoint before it posts, and every run is sealed to the evidence ledger.
What engine does it ride?
The real certified-payroll and prevailing-wage engine in active development in the Fintra payroll package. The agent automates the weekly run; the engine does the classification and fringe compliance math.
