SD Worx introduces agentic AI in payroll to enhance customer engagement
24 June 2026
SD Worx, the leading European HR, Pay and Time partner, is accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence into payroll administration with the rollout of a scalable, multi-agent AI model. This marks a major step forward in transforming payroll into a more proactive and insight-driven service.
At the core is a hybrid model in which payroll professionals manage a team of multiple AI agents. These agents support customer interactions, knowledge retrieval and payroll execution, while human experts validate outcomes where it matters and ensure quality and contextual accuracy. This approach shifts the role of payroll professionals towards coordinating AI-driven workflows, allowing them to focus more on advisory and customer engagement.
The benefits are immediate. Customers gain faster and more consistent service, with greater potential for proactive support. Payroll professionals are relieved from repetitive, data-intensive tasks and can focus on higher-value work that directly impacts customers.
The model is modular, scalable and tailored to customer needs, enabling personalisation at scale. Strong AI governance ensures clear boundaries between automation and human oversight, safeguarding quality, transparency and compliance.
Following extensive testing with pilot customers, the solution is now being rolled out within Belgian SME payroll teams. Approximately 500 payroll consultants will have been onboarded by the end of Summer.
