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