# Payroll Compliance Monitor

**Folder:** Accounting / Payroll Manager / Compliance Monitor

## What does it do?

Payroll compliance is a minefield: multi-jurisdiction tax, wage-and-hour rules, overtime, garnishments, and filing deadlines — each with penalties for getting it wrong.

This agent monitors compliance: it checks runs against tax and wage rules, flags potential violations (misclassification, overtime, garnishment handling), and tracks filing and deposit deadlines — keeping payroll compliant.

## Benefits

- Payroll compliance monitored across jurisdictions.
- Wage-and-hour and overtime issues flagged.
- Filing and deposit deadlines tracked.
- Penalty risk reduced.
- Audit-ready compliance evidence.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — payroll/HRIS data via Sheets, web for regulatory updates, Slack/Gmail for alerts.
• Skill — a payroll-compliance skill with multi-jurisdiction rules.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
