Mercans, a global leader in payroll and HR SaaS solutions, has launched what it terms the world's first AI-powered Globally Intelligent Workforce & Leave Management Engine. This next-generation platform is designed to ingest raw, unevaluated time and attendance data and automatically evaluate it against any country-specific legislation and client policy framework, converting it into fully compliant, payroll-ready transactions in real time.
Mercans launches an AI-powered global Workforce & Leave Management Engine.
The platform evaluates raw time data against country laws and client policies automatically.
It converts data into payroll-ready transactions, eliminating manual interpretation.
Capabilities cover working time rules, overtime, leave accruals, and shift premiums globally.
Every transaction includes an audit trail for compliance and governance.
The engine is designed for multinationals with complex, regulated workforces.
Traditional systems capture raw data like clock-ins and leave requests but cannot interpret this information within the necessary legal and policy contexts. This forces organizations to rely on manual validations and local experts, leading to errors, scalability issues, and compliance risks. Mercans' engine addresses this by applying thousands of jurisdiction-specific rules—including labor laws, collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), and company policies—to automatically classify time into regular hours, overtime tiers, premiums, and statutory exceptions.
The breakthrough lies in the engine's unified intelligence. It seamlessly integrates time, attendance, and leave into a single evaluative framework. The AI-driven system understands context, automatically applying rules for working time, night work, public holidays, rest periods, and country-specific leave models. This creates a "single global language for workforce transactions," as described by the company, ensuring consistency and accuracy across borders.
A core feature of the platform is its built-in compliance and auditability. Every evaluated transaction generated includes a complete rule-trace and logic trail, providing transparency for statutory audits, internal controls, and governance. The engine is purpose-built for multinational enterprises, distributed workforces, and highly regulated industries, acting as a single source of truth for evaluated workforce data that can feed directly into payroll, ERP, and financial systems.
“For decades, global employers have accepted that time and attendance must be manually interpreted country by country. We rejected that assumption,” said Tatjana Domovits, Group CEO at Mercans. “This engine does not just track time. It understands time in the context of law, policy, and contractual obligation. It creates a single global language for workforce transactions.”
The launch of this AI-powered engine represents a significant shift in global workforce management. By automating the complex interpretation of labor regulations and policies, Mercans aims to remove a major operational bottleneck and compliance risk for multinational organizations, enabling them to scale their global operations with greater confidence, efficiency, and control.
