AI-generated payslip caught by multiple modules
Critical issues detected. This application should not proceed without escalation.
High-confidence AI-generated document. PDF was created in Google Chrome (not a payroll platform), contains 5 different font families (hallmark of copy-paste fabrication), and gross minus tax does not equal net pay. The stated employer ABN is registered to a completely different business name. Multiple critical flags warrant immediate rejection.
Claude analysis indicates this payslip was likely generated using an AI tool. The document uses generic payslip formatting not matching any known Australian payroll platform. Terminology inconsistencies include "Basic Salary" (UK convention) instead of "Base Salary" or "Ordinary Earnings" (Australian convention). Super fund name "Australian Super Fund" is generic — likely fabricated.
PDF producer is "Google Chrome 121.0" — legitimate payslips are generated server-side by payroll platforms (Xero, MYOB, KeyPay). Browser-generated PDFs suggest manual creation or print-to-PDF from a fabricated web page.
Five distinct font families detected: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Courier New. Legitimate payslips typically use 1-2 fonts from the payroll platform's template. Five fonts strongly indicates copy-paste assembly.
Gross: $12,916.67, Tax: $3,458.00, Listed Net: $9,158.67. Calculated net should be $9,458.67. Discrepancy of $300.00 — the fabricator likely typed the wrong figure.
Listed super: $968.75 on gross $12,916.67 = 7.5% rate. Current SGC rate is 11.5%. Underpayment of super in a payslip is a red flag — fabricators often use outdated rates.
Payslip states employer as "Nexus Digital Solutions Pty Ltd" with ABN 23456789012. ABN Lookup returns this ABN as registered to "Sunrise Bakery Holdings Pty Ltd" — a completely different business.
