Compliance paperwork

Every form a new hire needs tracked to its deadline, from employment eligibility to tax forms, with reminders before anything is late. A person always checks the documents.

The review screen for Compliance paperwork: four items, three done, and one (Due tomorrow) waiting for the HR coordinator, who is asked: Priya’s employment eligibility check is due tomorrow. Book the document review?
How it works

The I-9 clock starts on day one. Each form tracked to its deadline.

Here’s a typical run, step by step: what automation handles, what the agent does, and the calls that stay with your team.

The workflow for Compliance paperwork, in 5 steps. It starts with “Someone new starts” and ends with “A complete file”. Each step lists what automation, the agent and your team do there.

Step 1 of 5List the forms

  • The agent

    Builds Priya’s list from your forms by state and role: federal and state tax, direct deposit, eligibility, the handbook and a pay notice.

    Which forms apply turns on where someone lives and works, and for remote hires those aren’t always the same state.

Where teams differTax forms can go out with the offer or wait for the first morning.

Automation: Sets a due date on every form. The eligibility check counts three business days from Monday, so it’s due Thursday.

Step 2 of 5Date every form

  • Automation

    Sets a due date on every form. The eligibility check counts three business days from Monday, so it’s due Thursday.

    Each deadline follows a set rule, most of them a count of days from the start date.

The agent: Checks every returned form is whole, like a state tax form with the address left blank or a pay notice nobody signed.
Automation: Reminds Priya two days before a form is due, and copies her manager if it’s still out the day before.

Step 3 of 5Chase what’s missing

  • The agent

    Checks every returned form is whole, like a state tax form with the address left blank or a pay notice nobody signed.

    A form can come back signed and still be missing an address. Signed isn’t the same as complete.

  • Automation

    Reminds Priya two days before a form is due, and copies her manager if it’s still out the day before.

    Reminders follow the calendar, on the same timing for every hire.

Step 4 of 5Book the review

  • Automation

    Puts Priya’s eligibility check on the HR coordinator’s list the day before it’s due, with a slot already held.

    The due date was set on day one, so the reminder was scheduled then too.

  • Your teamIf a document review is due

    Books the review, examines Priya’s documents with her and completes the check. The agent never sees them.

    The law asks a person to examine identity documents. That part never goes to software.

Where teams differMany teams review on day one. Remote teams use someone near the new hire, or a live video review where allowed.

Automation: Files each form where your team keeps it, and for anyone on a work permit, like Dan Moss, reminds your team well before it expires.

Step 5 of 5File and watch

  • Automation

    Files each form where your team keeps it, and for anyone on a work permit, like Dan Moss, reminds your team well before it expires.

    The expiry date is on the permit, so the reminder can be set the day the form is filed.

  • The agentRunning on your systems, under your rules.
  • The review screenWhere the exceptions land for your HR coordinators.
  • Your rulebookYour limits, exceptions and who signs off, in one place, often for the first time.
  • A test reportYour past new-hire files, run through it and checked against the number.
  • The runbookHow it works, what to check, and what to do if it stops.

The number we agree

Share of new-hire forms completed on time. We measure it before we start, and again at day 30.

How we get there

Live in 3 to 6 weeks. About seven hours of your time.

We do the building. Your side: access, your required forms by state and a quarter of new-hire files, and a short weekly check-in.

  1. Before kickoff

    We send the access checklist.

    You, 2 hours. Access, an owner, and your required forms by state and a quarter of new-hire files.

  2. Weeks 1 to 2

    We connect your systems and set it up.

    You, 1 hour. Walk us through your rules.

  3. Weeks 2 to 4

    We test it on your past new-hire files.

    You, 1 hour. Review what it flagged.

  4. Weeks 3 to 6

    It runs beside your team, then goes live.

    You, 1¼ hours. Work from the review screen.

Then 30 days of tuning, with a short check-in each week, about two hours of yours. At day 30 we show you the number and hand everything over.

After it’s live

It keeps running whether or not we stay.

  • It runs in your accounts

    Your cloud, your systems, and an AI account in your name, billed by the provider at their rates.

  • Changes in the first 30 days are included

    A new rule, a changed limit, someone new signing off. That’s what tuning is for.

  • After that, your call

    Your team edits the rulebook, the care plan covers it, or a bigger change is quoted first.

Questions

About this agent.

Does it verify identity documents?
No. A person always examines them. The agent tracks the deadline and books the review.
Does it track work permit renewals?
Yes. It reminds your team well before any work authorization expires, and a person handles the reverification.
Our process isn’t quite like this. Will it still work?
That’s the usual case. The job looks the same in most businesses, but the details never do. We map how your team does it today, then set the rules, systems and approvals to match. That’s what most of the 3 to 6 weeks are for.
How do we agree the number?
Together, before any work starts. For this agent it’s the share of new-hire forms completed on time. We measure it before we start, and again at day 30.
What does it cost to run once it’s live?
Hosting and AI, paid straight to the providers, not through us. It usually runs 5x to 25x cheaper than doing the same work by hand, and we work out your figure from your real volumes before you sign.
