Childcare benefit payroll claims

Detects employee childcare benefit claims processed through payroll: childcare salary packaging and reimbursement claims, employer-sponsored childcare applications and dependent care FSA reimbursements, with the child or provider details and claimed amounts.

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium: the primary phrases also appear in policies, guidance, blank forms and news, so enforce tiers require a populated field with a non-placeholder value and 85 adds a record-specific populated detail plus independent corroboration. Person and record values are customer-defined, so the field regexes use labelled loose values with a placeholder guard. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy.
Detection quality: Topic false positive

Known false positives

Policies, procedures, regulator guidance, fact sheets and training material that name the record type. Mitigation: Enforce tiers require populated fields; guidance has labels without values, and policy/guidance/training/media-release framing is excluded by the NOT-group.
Blank forms, templates and system configuration screens. Mitigation: Blank lines, bracket placeholders, XXX and n/a/tbc values are rejected by the placeholder guard; template/fixture words are excluded by template-exclusion.
News, statistics and vendor marketing. Mitigation: No populated person or record fields, so these stay at 65 discovery.
Childcare centre invoices without an employee context. Mitigation: The primary requires a childcare benefit/packaging phrase and 75 requires a populated employee field.
