APS Payroll

Compliance validation that increased capacity without adding staff.

New-hire reporting spans fifty sets of rules. PraxisIQ built a validation and correction workflow that clears the routine work and routes anything ambiguous to a person.

The problem

Rule complexity, not volume, was the constraint on the team.

  1. 01Every state defines its own format, fields, and submission path.
  2. 02Addresses, ZIP codes, and state codes arrived incomplete or malformed.
  3. 03Staging, validation, and delivery lived in disconnected steps.
01What PraxisIQ changed

One path from incoming file to approved delivery.

Routine corrections are handled by rule. Anything ambiguous is quarantined with its reason attached and routed to a specialist, so nothing is submitted without an approved review path.

  1. 01

    Parse

    State files read in each jurisdiction's own format.

  2. 02

    Validate

    Structure and required fields checked per state.

  3. 03

    Correct

    Known address, ZIP, and state-code errors fixed by rule.

  4. 04

    Quarantine

    Ambiguous records held with the reason attached.

  5. 05

    Review

    A specialist approves corrections in a console.

  6. 06

    Deliver

    Approved files sent over secure transfer with a run log.

Under the hood
Validation service
A FastAPI service ingests state files, applies per-state parsing rules, and logs every run.
Deterministic correction
High-confidence fixes for known address, ZIP, state-code, and missing-data patterns are rules, not model inference.
AI reasoning layer
Ambiguous errors get a proposed correction with reasoning, surfaced for approval rather than applied silently.
Delivery and audit
Approved output moves over the existing secure SFTP path; inputs, corrections, approver, and output are retained together.
02In their words
Nine address corrections were made in under a minute, a task that generally takes over 30 minutes manually.
