payroll system

Employee compensation software

A payroll system is the combination of processes, software, and records an organization uses to pay its employees.

It tracks hours worked, calculates wages and deductions, issues payments, and maintains tax records.

The company switched to an automated payroll system last year.

Small businesses may use simple software; large corporations employ complex systems handling thousands of employees across multiple jurisdictions.
