payroll office

Wage distribution center

A payroll office is the department or location within an organization that handles employee compensation—calculating wages, processing paychecks, managing tax withholdings, and maintaining payment records.

In larger companies it's a dedicated unit; in smaller ones, a single person may run the payroll office: I need to stop by the payroll office to fix my direct deposit.
