[[File:RPA1.png|left|366x366px]]Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the term used for software tools that partially or fully automate human activities that are manual, rule-based, and repetitive. The software robots (A.K.A Digital Workers) follow <u>objective decision making</u> by mimicking and replicating the actions of an actual human interacting with one or more software applications to perform tasks such as data entry, standard transaction processing, or responding to customer service questions.

Robotic Process Automation tools do not replace the underlying business applications; rather, they automate the manual tasks of human workers. They essentially look at the screens that workers look at and fill in and update the same boxes and fields within the user interface by pulling the relevant data from the relevant location.

On November 19th, 2020, the PSB FO successfully deployed 3 RPA pay processes into production to tackle cases and reduce backlog for the Pay Centre. As of March 23rd, 2022, the digital workers have processed over 54,000 pay cases and has saved Compensation Advisors (CAs) over 14,600 total hours.
