Payroll and Timekeeping Clerk

Compile and record employee time and payroll data. May compute employees' time worked, production, and commission. May compute and post wages and deductions, or prepare paychecks.

AI and automation will significantly impact this career by streamlining data entry, time tracking, and even payroll calculation processes. Clerks will shift towards validating automated outputs, resolving exceptions, and handling complex compliance issues. This transition will require enhanced analytical skills and a focus on problem-solving rather than routine data processing.
