Definition
Payroll is the process of paying employees - calculating wages, withholding taxes and deductions, and issuing payments - on a regular schedule, along with the records that process produces.
Payroll turns time and salary into paychecks. For each pay period it computes gross pay, subtracts taxes and deductions like benefits and retirement, and pays the net amount, while reporting to tax authorities.
Accuracy and timeliness are non-negotiable: people expect to be paid correctly and on time, and errors create compliance risk. That is why payroll is tightly linked to attendance, time tracking, and the HR record.
Atlas runs payroll on the same employee record as attendance and performance, so hours and status flow into pay without re-keying data between systems.
