## Workflow

### 1. Agent prepares the payout batch

The payroll agent validates completed work, the contractor profile, and the proposed amount before requesting payment.

### 2. Conto checks payroll policy

Each payout is checked against where you are allowed to pay, your per-contractor caps, and the daily payroll budget before it goes out.

### 3. Trusted payouts settle fast

Routine payouts to approved regions clear immediately. Out-of-band amounts or unsupported destinations route to review.

## Controls

### Country allowlists

Let the payroll agent pay approved regions while blocking unsupported jurisdictions before settlement begins.

### Per-contractor ceilings

Keep individual payouts inside policy so a single worker record cannot become the path for oversized disbursements.

### Daily payroll budgets

Set a daily envelope for autonomous payouts without forcing every routine batch into manual review.

### Exception approvals

Route higher-value payouts or unusual destination changes to a human while preserving straight-through processing for normal cases.

## Outcomes

- Finance teams can move faster on contractor payments without giving up review controls.
- Regional restrictions are enforced where the money moves, not in a spreadsheet after the fact.
- Payroll exceptions become a visible queue instead of a buried reconciliation problem.
