    Ep 5: AI in Payroll: Threat, Tool, or Total Game-Changer?

    In this episode of the BundyPlus Podcast, Steve and Levon unpack the real state of AI in payroll — far beyond the hype, fear, and buzzwords. Using insights from the Australian Payroll Association’s report, they break down adoption trends, concerns, and what payroll professionals should expect next. 🔍 What we cover: -Why 49% of organisations report zero AI adoption in payroll — and why that’s not surprising -The small percentage actually using AI meaningfully today -The big gap between what payroll professionals want vs. what software vendors currently deliver -The risks and hesitation around AI, from data privacy to accuracy concerns -Why AI still requires strong human oversight (yes, even if HAL wants to run payroll on its own) -Where AI could actually shine: award checking, pattern detection, large-scale data validation -Why “AI will take payroll jobs” isn’t the full story — augmentation is more likely -What vendors need to do next to build trust and drive adoption -How biometric tools, facial recognition, and data structures already set the foundation for future AI 💬 Key Themes: • Skills gaps in the industry • Leadership buy-in • Change management • Compliance-first development • Transparency in AI tools • Why accurate time-and-attendance data is the backbone of any future payroll AI 🎬 Fun Aside: Steve imagines a future where HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey refuses to stop payroll processing — and what that says about trust in automation. 📈 Why this matters: AI is entering payroll, slowly but surely. The winners will be the organisations (and vendors) who invest in skills, data, and practical use cases — not just flashy tech. ➡️ Subscribe for more conversations on payroll, time & attendance, workforce tech, and the future of work.
