Introduction
The payroll profession continues to evolve in response to growing demands for speed, accuracy, compliance, and strategic insight. At the heart of this evolution is artificial intelligence (AI), now embedded in many of the tools payroll professionals use every day. This document is a companion to our Payroll Software Directory and focuses specifically on providers that incorporate AI features into their products. It has been created to support organisations exploring how AI can drive efficiency, strengthen compliance, and reduce manual workloads within payroll and HR processes. While the CIPP does not endorse or recommend any specific solution, we recognise the growing interest in how AI can be applied in practice. This resource offers a helpful starting point for those reviewing current systems or planning future investment. AI in payroll goes beyond automation. It includes intelligent data validation, predictive analytics, natural language tools, anomaly detection, and real-time compliance monitoring. These features help reduce risk, support better decision-making, and free up time for more strategic work. Each software entry includes information about its AI-driven functionality and the types of organisations it may suit. We encourage users to conduct their own research and speak directly with providers to assess suitability. As the UK’s leading professional body for payroll, pensions and reward professionals, the CIPP is committed to supporting the profession with access to practical resources and up-to-date knowledge. We hope this directory helps you explore the opportunities AI offers and supports confident, informed decision-making.
