# Payroll with substitute-teacher adjustments, from an hour to ten minutes

## How can AI replace 30 to 60 minutes of manual payroll each period?

- **Replaces:** 30 to 60 minutes of manual payroll each period.
  - Working through the substitute-teacher tracker, deducting sick hours and crediting the teachers who covered.
  - Applying tuition credits to parents who subbed.
- **What to connect:**
  - Grok Bot reading the substitute tracker and preparing the payroll adjustments.
  - A second agent writing tuition credits into the student system.
  - QuickBooks plus a model-vs-actuals forecast so the books stay current.
- **Known limits:** a person still supervises each run.
- **Who it's for:** owners and office managers of small schools or small businesses who run payroll themselves.
