payrolling

External salary administration

Payrolling is the practice of outsourcing employee payment administration to a third party.

A company hires workers but contracts with a payroll service to handle wages, taxes, and benefits.

The term also describes keeping someone on payroll—maintaining their employment status, sometimes nominally: They kept payrolling him even after he stopped showing up.
