Employees becoming more open to AI in pay decisions

According to the findings, 59% of employees would trust their managers more than AI when it comes to pay decisions. In fact, 66% believe that managers’ pay decisions should take priority over AI’s when they disagree about pay.  

The findings come amid HR leaders’ growing pay-related use cases for AI tools.  

A survey by MHR last year revealed that 88% of employers are already using AI in their payroll processes, with the top benefits being reduced errors, automated tasks, and enhanced data security.  

Transparency is still essential  

But even if employees are slowly getting comfortable with AI use in payroll decisions, the Resume Now report underscored the need for organisations to remain transparent.  

“The biggest gains come when employers explain how AI informs offers and where human oversight applies,” the report read.
