New AI Platform Helps Israeli Employees Decode Pay Slips and Find Wage Errors

A new free platform named Tlushy has launched in Israel to help employees decode their complex pay slips and detect potential wage violations using advanced artificial intelligence. Developed by Aviad Homin-Rosenblum, an economic policy researcher at the Berl Katznelson Foundation, the service addresses a long-standing market issue: the lack of a standardized pay slip format across Israeli companies.

AI-Powered Analysis and Collective Agreements

Users can upload their pay slips to the system, which automatically identifies various components, explains their meaning, and checks for potential discrepancies in salary and social benefits. Unlike general labor laws, the platform cross-references data with relevant collective bargaining agreements across multiple sectors, including public servants, teachers, nurses, social workers, security guards, and cleaning personnel. If discrepancies are found, the site automatically generates a formal letter for the employer demanding an investigation.

Rapid Growth and Preliminary Findings

The platform operated quietly in a limited beta phase for four months before its official public launch. Despite a lack of traditional advertising, user numbers surged through word of mouth and search engines, with nearly 1,000 pay slips uploaded on launch day alone, bringing the total analyzed documents to approximately 2,500. On launch day alone, the system flagged potential wage violations totaling roughly 400,000 shekels, highlighting the widespread nature of payroll discrepancies in the Israeli economy.

Multilingual Accessibility and Privacy

Designed to assist vulnerable populations, including new immigrants and foreign workers, the interface is available in six languages, including Arabic, Amharic, and Thai. To ensure strict data privacy, the system automatically blurs identifying details such as employee names and ID numbers, and uploaded pay slips are not stored on servers after analysis.
