A payroll contains all the financial records of an employee's salary, including the corresponding bonuses or deductions.
Payroll managers will offer employers the possibility to keep track of staff's financial status, by creating computerized databases rather than using dedicated notebooks or specialized accountants.
Typically, payroll managers can be used by inexperienced users, i.e. with no advanced knowledge of accounting, as they provide intuitive interfaces and friendly menus.
Employers can also use payroll managers to create and print payrolls that can be distributed to their personnel.
