Payroll is the process by which employers calculate and distribute compensation to employees, including wages, salaries, bonuses, and withheld taxes and deductions. It is a core function of HR and finance departments, often handled through software like ADP, Gusto, or Paychex, and requires accuracy and compliance with labor and tax laws. Professionals managing payroll ensure employees are paid correctly and on time.
