The payroll process is the systematic procedure of calculating and distributing employee compensation, including their wages, taxes, and deductions, while ensuring compliance with legal and company policies. It involves gathering employee data, calculating gross pay, withholding appropriate taxes and other deductions, issuing payments, and reporting to relevant government bodies. This can be managed manually or, more commonly, automated through payroll software to ensure accuracy and efficiency

The payroll process is the step-by-step system a company uses to pay employees accurately and on time. It includes:

1. Collecting employee data (hours worked, attendance, overtime).
2. Calculating wages (basic pay, bonuses, deductions).
3. Withholding taxes and mandatory contributions.
4. Issuing salaries through bank transfer or cheque.
5. Generating payslips for employees.
6. Maintaining records for compliance and audits.

In simple terms: Payroll = calculating pay + deducting taxes + paying employees + keeping records.
