How Oscar Cuts 7 Days of Admin Down to 1.5 Hours

A downloadable guide for employers and payroll processors who want to cut their employee onboarding admin time using AI payroll tools.

The Hidden Cost of Manual Onboarding

Every new hire brings an invisible price tag. Manual onboarding creates a chain of admin work, which includes chasing documents, manual data entry, and correcting errors. It’s not just one person’s job. It’s spread across multiple touchpoints and teams.

HR and payroll teams can easily spend 30-45 minutes per new starter on data collection alone. For a bureau processing 50 starters monthly, that’s over 37 hours of professional time consumed by chasing forms every month.

Meet Oscar, BrightPay’s AI Employee Onboarding Assistant

Oscar automates the entire data collection process for new starters. He does this by starting a conversation on WhatsApp, gathering required information, chasing for any missing details, and enters everything into BrightPay, ready for you to review and approve.

The Benefits of AI Employee Onboarding

• Instant time savings: Reduce onboarding from 5-7 days to 1.5 hours, with less than 5 minutes of your team’s involvement per new starter.

• Accuracy & compliance: Automatic data extraction removes manual errors. Every record passes human review before it enters BrightPay.

• Better first impressions: New starters experience a guided, professional conversation, not chasing emails and unclear instructions.

• Flexible deployment: Operate entirely within your firm, or allow clients to self-serve while you retain the review step.

• 24/7 availability: Unlike a person, Oscar is available around the clock. New starters can complete onboarding at any time.
