Four detector groups run across every open placement every cycle. Missing timesheets, consecutive misses, hours variance, rate drift. Drafts SMS + email reminders, escalates unresolved cases to HITL, and asks for a human signature before touching your ATS.
Every Monday, account managers triage the same list by hand: who didn’t submit, who’s on week two of no submission, who’s reporting 2× their usual hours, whose pay rate just changed without a corresponding placement update. Miss one cycle and the invoice goes out wrong — or not at all. The exact category of leak the Risk Alert panel on the Command Center is designed to surface, but now with an agent that can act on it.
Each cycle, the agent loads tenant configuration (thresholds, templates, excluded placements), scans your ATS for every open placement, and classifies findings into four groups. Each group gets its own recommended action, confidence score, severity, and dollar-impact estimate.
Placement active, pay period closed, no timesheet submitted.
→ Send SMS + email reminderSecond or third pay period in a row with no timesheet.
→ Escalate to account manager + HITLReported hours differ materially from the placement’s rolling average (configurable ±%).
→ Flag for account-manager reviewPay or bill rate on the timesheet doesn’t match the active placement rate.
→ Open dispute ticket, optionally block invoiceThe Time Anomaly Agent follows the same five-phase pipeline as every other StaffingAgent agent. It never touches production data without a human approving the plan, and every gateway action it takes is reversible for 7 days.
Pull every open placement, compute each detector across the current pay cycle.
Bucket each finding into A1 / A2 / B / C with confidence, severity, and impact.
Compose tenant-configured SMS + email using the Message Templates tab.
Human reviews the plan in AgentPlanView, unchecks anything that shouldn’t run.
Typed gateway calls are issued one at a time. Each one is reversible for 7 days; all are permanently audited.
Every knob the Time Anomaly Agent relies on is exposed in the Agent Settings view of the Command Center. Platform defaults ship sensible; every tenant can override any field, and every override is diffed against the default and can be reset in one click.
The Time Anomaly Agent is bundled with the Transform tier alongside VMS Reconciliation and Risk Alert. Dry-run on every tenant before first live execution.
