Questions about Payroll Register Extractor.

What does the payroll register extractor read?

The document number and date, the pay period start and end, the payment date, the employer, the currency, and for each employee the id, name, job title, department, and employment start and end dates.

Which pay and tax fields come out?

The regular hours and overtime hours, the gross pay and salary, the federal tax, state tax, social security tax, and medicare tax, the total deductions, and the net pay each come back as fields, alongside the payment method (enum) and total amount.

Are the per-employee lines returned as tables?

Yes. A payroll entries table returns each employee id, name, department, gross pay, regular and overtime hours, total deductions, net pay, and payment method; an employee deductions table returns each employee id, deduction type, and amount; and a tax summary table returns each tax type, amount, and employee count.

Can it turn a multi-employee register into a spreadsheet?

Yes. Because the payroll entries come back as a table, a register listing many employees becomes one row per employee, with gross pay, deductions, and net pay in their own columns ready to export to CSV.

The register lists employee pay data. What happens to it?

The document is processed via the Talonic API for extraction only, is not retained for training, and is not shared. PDF only, up to 10MB and 100 pages.

Doing this to one file, or to ten thousand?

The tool reads a single document. The platform reads the whole estate once and keeps it queryable — the same engine, with a memory.

See document data extraction if you run this for people and payroll teams, or the extraction API if you are building it in.
