PayrollOrg said in a press release that 46% of respondents to its 2026 Getting Paid In America survey were somewhat or very uncomfortable with AI in payroll processes. Another 25% were somewhat or very comfortable.

Human oversight was the most selected factor for increasing trust in AI payroll systems, cited by 71% of respondents. Proven accuracy followed at 57%, while 55% selected strong data security protections.

The survey also found that 27% were interested in accessing wages as they earned them, while nearly 44% were not interested. Another 23% were unsure and 6% already had access.
