01Proposed input preparation
Prepare
Organise, standardise and map payroll inputs from different source files into a controlled dataset. Source traceability and human review keep ambiguous values visible, not silently guessed.
The proposed workflow
Assurance around the payroll engine you already use.
Preflight is being developed as a payroll-system independent preparation and assurance layer, with checks before calculation and after the draft is created.
These are proposed product directions, not available live functionality.
02Before calculation
Core
Track employee changes, variable pay, absence and confirmations through a proposed Drop Zone for CSV and XLSX files. Surface missing inputs and conflicts so the team can assess readiness before calculation.
A readiness checkpoint before pressing Calculate.
03After the draft
Verify
Challenge draft payroll against confirmed instructions, source evidence and structured controls. Proposed checks include complex risks such as salary sacrifice and National Minimum Wage impacts.
A draft check before an authorised person signs off.
04Across the workflow
Evidence
Preserve source lineage, control versions, exception histories, reviewer notes and authorised sign-offs in a concise review record.
05Human-led investigation
Assist
Help teams understand findings and connect relevant evidence while keeping people responsible for decisions. Assist would not automatically alter payroll data or override a human decision.
