Manages payroll processing, tax withholdings, and employee compensation records.
Payroll is pure data choreography: hours logged → tax rules applied → direct deposit triggered. Guidepoint's automation, ADP's machine learning, and simple scripting replace 90% of payroll work with zero human judgment required. The remaining 10% is exception handling (bonus structures, garnishments, policy edge cases) which a single super-user manages. Hoping regulation creates barriers is pathetic; regulation actually enables automation by codifying rules into rulesets. The productivity gospel here is honest: doing payroll at 1/20th the headcount is both real and the entire job elimination mechanism.
