AI Payroll Query Responder

WHAT IT DOES

AI Payroll Query Responder provides clear, plain-language answers to employee questions about payroll. Ask about pay dates, deductions, tax, overtime, bonuses, or pay slips — optionally include your employment type (full-time salaried, part-time hourly, or contractor) — and the agent returns a structured explanation including: an overview of the payroll process that explains how pay is calculated and processed, key dates and timing for pay runs and cutoffs, deduction details covering tax, social security, benefits, and other withholdings, overtime and bonus treatment including calculation methods, and how to access pay slips or contact payroll support. All output is capped at 1,024 tokens, so you get a focused, easy-to-understand answer — not a wall of jargon. Whether you're an employee planning your finances or an HR professional answering common questions, this agent helps you provide accurate and accessible payroll information.

HOW TO USE

Open the agent in any BotSurf frame. Enter your question about payroll (e.g., "When is payday?", "What deductions are taken from my salary?", or "How is overtime calculated?"). Optionally, provide your employment type (e.g., "Full-time salaried", "Part-time hourly", or "Contractor"). Click "Respond" or press Ctrl+Enter. The agent generates a clear, structured explanation in the output panel, presented in a Q&A-style format. You can also click "Use the page selection" to grab highlighted text from a webpage — ideal if you have policy documents, employee handbooks, or intranet articles open in another tab. The panel remembers its position across sessions (drag to reposition, snap to edges, collapse with Escape), and you can clear inputs or output with one click. No configuration — just ask your question and get your answer.

WHAT IT SENDS

When you click "Respond," the agent sends only your question and any optional employment type you provide — nothing more, nothing less. It does not send your browsing history, cookies, localStorage, page context, or any other data unless you explicitly paste or select it into the fields. If you use the "Use the page selection" button, the agent copies the selected text from the page into the input field, and that text is then sent exactly as if you had typed it. All transmissions occur over the BGAI bridge using the API key you have already provided to BotSurf; the agent itself does not store, cache, or log your input content. Usage logs record only the number of successful response generation requests for billing purposes — they do not retain any query or response text. Your questions and payroll explanations remain private to your session.

SUBSCRIPTION

AI Payroll Query Responder is priced at $19.99 per month, which includes a 7‑day free trial and 100 response generations per month. Unused runs do not roll over. Cancel anytime from your BotSurf account settings. The free trial begins automatically on first use, and you will not be charged until the trial period ends. If you exceed the monthly limit, additional requests will be blocked until the next billing cycle. Upgrade your plan or purchase extra runs through the BotSurf marketplace as needed. No hidden fees, and no automatic upgrades.

THE PANEL

The agent runs as a floating, draggable panel inside BotSurf. Drag the header to reposition it anywhere; it snaps to the nearest edge for a tidy workspace. Collapse it to a small bubble with the ✨ emoji by pressing Escape or clicking the collapse handle — the bubble stays accessible without taking up screen space. Expand it again by clicking the bubble. Panel position is persisted via BGAI.setState, so it returns to your preferred spot across sessions. The dark theme (#0f172a background, #38bdf8 accent) ensures readability in any lighting environment.

PLEASE NOTE

AI can make mistakes. Always verify payroll information against your official pay slips, employment contract, and local tax laws. The agent provides general HR guidance and does not constitute professional financial or legal advice — it is not a substitute for review by a qualified payroll professional, accountant, or legal counsel, especially in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, or government. Ensure that all explanations align with your organisation's actual payroll policies, your employment contract, and applicable tax and labor laws. This tool is designed to provide general information and generate ideas, not as a final authority on payroll matters. Always consult your payroll department, HR team, or tax advisor for definitive answers.
