Evolution of WorkOn into an Integrated HR Platform

On Technologies (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Nozomi Tsunoda), a group company of LegalOn Technologies focused on specialized AI development, has launched three new features for its AI HR agent, 'WorkOn' (https://on.tech/workon): labor management, attendance management, and payroll calculation.

With this expansion, users can consolidate core HR data such as employee information, organizational structure, employment types, work patterns, and payroll terms into a unified platform. AI will leverage these connected data points to execute HR operations in a seamless, end-to-end workflow.

The Problem: Solving HR Operational Bottlenecks with AI

In HR departments, the reliance on multiple disconnected tools and Excel files often leads to data silos and redundant manual input. Despite the close connection between attendance and payroll, organizations have traditionally relied on cumbersome monthly CSV conversions and transcription processes, causing end-of-month work bottlenecks and excessive overtime. Furthermore, as AI adoption grows, data fragmentation remains a major barrier to AI precision.

To fundamentally solve these issues, 'WorkOn' adopts an AI-native design that integrates attendance, payroll, and labor information on a single platform.

Details of the New Features

The three new functions work as a closely linked data infrastructure for HR management.

### 1. Labor Management: Centralization of Information This function centralizes employee information, onboarding processes, and access permissions. It functions as the core 'information foundation' for all HR tasks. By integrating with an AI assistant, it enables automated responses to internal HR inquiries regarding corporate regulations.

### 2. Attendance Management: Compliance and Efficiency This covers the entire attendance workflow, from clock-ins and leave requests to approval, 36-agreement monitoring, and monthly closing. It automatically references organizational charts and working patterns, reducing manual rework at the end of the month. The 36-agreement alert system helps mitigate legal risks by identifying overtime limit breaches in real-time. Data is automatically synchronized to the payroll function after the monthly close.

### 3. Payroll Calculation: Accuracy and Automation Payroll calculation seamlessly inherits attendance and employee data. By eliminating manual CSV processing and transcription, it enables accurate operation regardless of the HR staff's skill level. Employees can conveniently view their pay slips within 'WorkOn' at any time.

Future Outlook: Empowering AI-Driven Decision Support

Moving forward, WorkOn will leverage accumulated data to enable advanced capabilities, such as AI providing rationales for payroll fluctuations and performing sophisticated compliance audits to detect discrepancies between employment contracts and actual work patterns. Through this AI-native design, WorkOn aims to create an environment where HR professionals can focus on higher-level verification and decision-making.
