• Collecting pay information: Review hours worked, salaries, overtime, commissions, bonuses, and approved time off.
• Calculating pay: Determine gross pay, deductions, and take-home pay.
• Processing payments: Issue direct deposits or paychecks on schedule.
• Managing deductions: Apply benefit contributions, garnishments, and other authorized deductions.
• Handling payroll taxes: Calculate withholdings and coordinate required payments and filings.
• Maintaining records: Keep payroll, timekeeping, and employee pay information accurate.
• Resolving errors: Investigate missing hours, incorrect deductions, and other pay questions.
• Reporting costs: Provide payroll expense information to accounting and management.

The goal is to pay employees correctly and on time while keeping reliable payroll records.
