payroll records
Employee compensation files
Payroll records are documents tracking employee compensation—wages, hours worked, deductions, and tax withholdings.
Employers maintain these records for accounting, tax reporting, and legal compliance.
In disputes over unpaid wages or workplace violations, payroll records serve as primary evidence: The audit revealed discrepancies in the payroll records.
