What is a payroll register?

A payroll register is a document that contains detailed information about employee wages and salaries for a specific pay period. It typically includes information such as employee names, employee identification numbers, hours worked, pay rate, gross pay, deductions, net pay, and any other additional information related to employee compensation.

Payroll registers are used by employers to track and record employee compensation and ensure accurate and timely payment of wages. They are also used for accounting and tax purposes, as they provide a detailed record of payroll expenses.

Employers can create payroll registers manually or use payroll software to automate the process. Payroll registers should be kept confidential and stored securely to protect sensitive employee information.
