Wattle AI
Wattle AI provides a precision compliance engine that checks rosters, timesheets, and payroll events against the full text of enterprise agreements and awards in real time. The platform uses deterministic runtime calculations—never generative AI—to ensure every result is repeatable and auditable, with each outcome tracing back to source clauses, tests, and releases. It serves regulated industries including tertiary education, healthcare, retail, aged care, hospitality, transport, and the public sector.

Problem
Complex enterprise agreements and awards contain so many interacting rules—overtime, penalties, breaks, allowances, and local interpretations—that standard payroll and rostering systems cannot encode them accurately, and some are not implemented at all in practice. As a result, under- and overpayments surface only at payroll (if at all), becoming back-pay liabilities, fines, and compliance breaches.
Solution
Wattle AI checks rosters, timesheets, and payroll events against the full text of agreements and awards in real-time, before errors become underpayments, excessive overtime, disputes, or remediation projects. The platform implements the complete agreement and runs it continuously, flagging excess overtime and compliance issues as rosters are built, timesheets are entered, and payroll is processed. Runtime calculations are deterministic—never generative AI—so every result is repeatable and auditable. Each outcome traces back to source clauses, tests, and releases, providing an audit-ready trail for regulated industries. The engine uses WattleScript, a purpose-built language for decision-making and data processing, enabling executable content that is tested, versioned, audited, and deployed at low compute cost.
Target Audience
