What is agentic payroll?

Agentic payroll uses AI inside the workflow, flagging LOP arrears before approval, surfacing statutory deadlines, and reconciling attendance with payrun, not passive dashboards after month close.

Which statutory obligations does Varimo payroll cover?

EPF, ESIC, professional tax (state-specific), TDS, and salary payment timelines under Indian labour practice, with audit trails for attendance and payrun.

How is this different from spreadsheet payroll?

Spreadsheets break at multi-state PT, LOP disputes, and deadline stacks (7th/10th salary, 15th PF/ESI). Varimo runs one pipeline from attendance lock to payrun and statutory remittance.

What services does Varimo offer?

Executive leadership hiring, leadership hiring, board hiring, payroll and workforce operations, and Employer of Record (EoR).

The agentic payrun pipeline

One connected flow from attendance lock to remittance.
