A payroll is a list of employees of a company who are entitled to compensation and other work benefits, along with the amounts each should receive. The term can also refer to a company's records of past employee payments, including wages, salaries, bonuses, and withheld taxes, or to the department responsible for managing compensation. A company may handle all aspects of the payroll process in-house or can outsource aspects to a payroll processing company.
