Publication number: 20230081511Abstract: Systems and methods for improved payroll management in a freelance driven industry is provided. Payroll documents may be uploaded through a web portal to the payroll management system as a digital image. The document is then split into individual pages, each page representing a “form”, and subjected to optical character recognition (OCR) to generate a machine readable document, which are then matched to one of many possible form types. This matching may rely upon keyword disambiguation and/or machine learning classifications. Data is extracted from the form using a coordinate identification system. The forms may be reconstituted as standardized forms. These standardized forms are then stitched together into packets by user, by employing logic. The hourly gross compensation for the user is calculated, responsive to constraints collected from many sources (including contractual constraints, statutory constraints, and union imposed constraints).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Ravishankar Palanisamy Vesalakshi Sathyamurthi, Shahid Mustafa, Guillaume Remi Aubuchon, Partha Sarathi Maharatha, Charles Andrew Patterson, Ross David Agre
