official list of employees' pay
A list or record that shows all the workers in a company and how much money they are paid.
الگوی کاربرد:
the payroll of [company] / [company]'s payroll
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think "payroll" means the money one person receives (like "salary" or "paycheck"). In this sense, it is not one person’s money but the company’s official list or record of all employees and their pay details.
هممعنیها
employee roster (Focuses more on the list of people, without specifically emphasizing pay details.)
متضادها
unemployment register (A record of people not working, as opposed to a payroll, which lists people currently employed and being paid.)

All the money a company must pay its workers for one week, month, or other pay time.

هممعنیها
wage bill (Common in British English; stresses the total cost of wages to the employer.)
متضادها
revenue (Refers to money coming into the company, while payroll (in this sense) is money going out to employees.)

All the people who work for a company and are paid by that company.
