A hire, or an aiemployee

Budgeting for a hire in this job runs about $85,051 a year ($58,260 national median pay for payroll and timekeeping clerks, BLS, plus benefits). Kasim is bought once. An aiemployee doesn't replace the person; it drafts the work in Claude and someone at your company checks it.

Work Trial

The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.

Where Kasim stops

  • Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
  • Never gives tax, legal or investment advice. Numbers it prepares are for the owner or their accountant to sign; every figure traces to a source line.
  • Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
  • Says it is an AI whenever asked.
