official list of employees' pay
A list or record that shows all the workers in a company and how much money they are paid.
Schema d'uso:
the payroll of [company] / [company]'s payroll
Errore comune:
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.
Sinonimi
employee roster (Focuses more on the list of people, without specifically emphasizing pay details.)
Contrari
unemployment register (A record of people not working, as opposed to a payroll, which lists people currently employed and being paid.)

total wages a company pays
All the money a company must pay its workers for one week, month, or other pay time.
Schema d'uso:

Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse this sense with "profit" or "turnover". "Payroll" here is only the money paid to employees, not all company costs or all money the company makes.
Sinonimi
wage bill (Common in British English; stresses the total cost of wages to the employer.)
Contrari
revenue (Refers to money coming into the company, while payroll (in this sense) is money going out to employees.)
