Short answer

How can I use my AI to check payroll status?

Your AI pulls transaction records from OnPay to confirm if specific payments were successful or to audit entire payroll periods. You can ask for a list of recent payments or details on a single transaction to spot discrepancies. This breakdown shows how your agent handles the data.
