The bottom line

Roughly 90% of the work in Respond to employee payroll inquiries is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.

Why: With no child occupations seeded, the score relies entirely on the composite's APQC lens ('Process payroll') and its description ('Addressing salary-related queries'). This work is inherently administrative and software-mediated, requiring information retrieval from HRIS or payroll databases and digital or telephonic communication to resolve queries. Because the value step is pure information processing with zero physical component, it sits firmly in the high digital band.
