💵 Get Hours Into Payroll Without Retyping

Payroll day is spent chasing timesheets and retyping hours. Build me a payroll export app. Define pay periods and let me close one, but refuse to close while there are unresolved exceptions such as missing timesheets, missed clock-outs, unapproved hours or unapproved overtime, and list exactly what is blocking. Apply the rate rules in the app, covering standard hours, overtime rates, premium hours such as weekends or nights, and any allowances, so payroll is not interpreting anything. Produce a file in the format my payroll needs with hours and rates per person. Once exported, lock the period so later edits cannot silently change what was paid, and require any correction to be recorded as an adjustment to the next period with a reason. Add an AI agent that reviews a period before close and lists everything blocking it with who needs to act, and flags any person whose hours differ markedly from their usual pattern so it can be checked before payment rather than corrected afterwards. Automate two things: reminders to managers to approve before the close deadline, and a scheduled pre-close exception report. Two logins: a manager who resolves their team exceptions, and a payroll owner who closes and exports.
