Short answer

How can I reconcile payroll and claims with my AI?

Your AI pulls claim reports and payroll summaries to identify mismatches between what was approved and what was actually paid. You get a clear list of discrepancies to fix. This breakdown shows you how the matching process works.

The results.

Where every discrepancy lands.

The AI processes the raw data and organizes the findings into these categories.

MATCHED

Verified payments

The AI confirms that every approved claim matches a line item in the payroll summary. You get a clean record of successful reimbursements.

MISSING

Unpaid claims

The AI flags approved claims that don't appear in the payroll summary. This tells you exactly which employees are still owed money.

ERRORS

Amount mismatches

The AI catches cases where the claim amount and the payroll amount don't align. You'll see exactly where the totals differ.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If the AI finds conflicting data it can't resolve, it flags the specific entry for you to check manually. You stay in control of the final decision.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of data comparison so you don't have to manually scan spreadsheets.

  1. Gather claim data

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my payroll data?

    No. The AI only reads the claim reports and payroll summaries to find matches. It cannot edit or delete any records in BrioHR.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically pay employees?

    No. The AI identifies which claims haven't been paid yet, but you must trigger the actual payment through your payroll system.

  • 03

    How does it handle different currencies?

    The AI compares the values provided in the reports. If your reports use different currencies, you should ensure they are converted before asking the AI to match them.

  • 04

    Can I ask it to reconcile a specific employee?

    Yes. You can ask the AI to look at a specific person's claims against their payroll history.

  • 05

    What happens if a claim is partially paid?

    The AI will flag the mismatch because the claim total won't match the payroll entry.
