PSE — Governed Payroll Runs

Real-time compliance validation for automated multi-state payroll.

Every run validated before commit. Every decision documented. Every violation caught before it costs you.

PSE's governed payroll runs sit on top of CHAP AI — the pre-run compliance engine that validates every employee record against the applicable federal statutory ruleset before the payroll commits. This is not a post-processing audit layer. It is a blocking gate: violations are surfaced, explained in plain language, and resolved before payroll closes. PSE validates and governs — your existing payroll processor executes. The result is payroll that passes its own compliance audit on every run.

Multi-state validation in a single pass

The system of record covers all active states in one payroll run; PSE applies per-state rule validation in the same pass. No separate state reviews, no manual rule lookups.

CHAP AI pre-run compliance scan

Before your provider commits the run, every employee record passes a full statutory scan — checking overtime, deposit timing, meal break premiums, minimum wage, and benefit deductions across all jurisdictions.

Deposit timing validation (IRC §6656)

CHAP AI validates deposit timing and amounts against your liability tier on every run — flagging errors before they occur. Your existing payroll processor or financial institution executes all deposits; PSE does not move funds.

Guided correction workflow

When CHAP AI flags a violation, the correction interface surfaces the specific employee records, the applicable statute, and the exact change required.

Audit-ready documentation

Every payroll run produces a timestamped compliance record: what was checked, what passed, what was flagged, what was corrected, and by whom. Available on demand for three years.

How CHAP AI supports Governed Payroll Runs

Governed Payroll Runs is the primary integration point for CHAP AI. Every run triggers a full pre-run scan. Violations block the run until resolved. Documentation is generated automatically.
