What you can ask
If it lives in Root HR, you can ask for it.
“Run October payroll and show me anything that changed since last month.”
Payroll“Which sponsored workers have a right to work check due in the next 60 days?”
Compliance“Has anything happened this month that I need to report to UKVI?”
Reporting“Shortlist care assistant applicants who already have the right to work.”
Recruitment“Draft an offer letter for the care assistant role at £24,500, starting 3 November.”
People“Approve Tom's leave request if it doesn't leave the Friday shift short.”
LeavePayroll
Payroll you approve, not assemble.
roothr.ai gathers hours, absences, starters, leavers and salary changes from Root HR, prepares the run and explains every difference from last month in plain English. You read, question and approve.
- Pro-rata, SSP and SMP worked out and shown
- Every change since the last run listed with its reason
- FPS and payslips produced on approval
Compliance
Ask if you are compliant. Get a real answer.
It checks sponsored workers against your sponsor duties, right to work dates, CoS end dates and reporting deadlines, then tells you exactly who needs what and by when.
- Sponsor licence, RTW and CoS checked in one question
- Reportable changes flagged inside the 10 working day window
- Audit snapshot exported whenever UKVI asks
Recruitment
Hire with the checks already done.
Ask for a shortlist and get candidates ranked against the role, with right to work status checked before anyone is invited in. Offer letters and onboarding start from the same conversation.
- Applicants screened against your role criteria
- Right to work verified before interview, not after offer
- Offer letter, contract and onboarding tasks created on approval
HR
Every answer comes from your live data.
Nothing is guessed. roothr.ai reads the same employee records, rotas, leave and documents that already live in Root HR, and it shows you where each answer came from.
- Works on your existing Root HR account, no migration
- Role permissions respected, so people only see what they should
- UK-hosted, ISO 27001 and GDPR aligned
Why teams switch
For finance and payroll leads
Payroll stops being a week of spreadsheets. You ask for the run, read the changes and approve it, usually before the kettle boils.
For sponsor licence holders
“Are we compliant?” finally has a straight answer, with the names, dates and duties behind it, ready to hand to an auditor.
For HR managers
Requests, reminders and letters that used to eat the afternoon get drafted, sent and chased for you, and you stay in charge of every send.
How it works
Three steps. You keep the last one.
- 1
Ask

- 2
It works
roothr.ai reads the relevant Root HR records, does the calculation or the check, and shows its working.
- 3
You approve
Nothing is paid, sent or filed until a named person clicks approve. Every action is logged.

Questions
The things people ask first.
Is roothr.ai a separate product from Root HR?+
No. It is the assistant layer on top of Root HR. It uses your existing account, data and permissions. If you are already a Root HR customer there is nothing to migrate.
Does it actually run payroll on its own?+
It prepares the run, explains the changes and produces the outputs, but a named person approves every payroll and every submission. Nothing is paid or filed without that approval.
What data does it see?+
Only what the person asking is allowed to see in Root HR. A line manager gets their team; a director gets the company. Answers show their source so you can check them.
Where is the data processed?+
In the UK, on the same infrastructure as Root HR. Root HR is ISO 27001 certified, ICO registered and GDPR aligned, and roothr.ai inherits those controls.
When can I use it?+
We are onboarding Root HR customers in small groups. Leave your email below and we will get in touch when your slot is ready.
