A payroll is a company's list of its employees, but the term is commonly used to refer to: * the total amount of money that a company pays to its employees * a company's records of its employees' salaries and wages, bonuses, and withheld taxes * the company's department that calculates and pays these. Payroll in the sense of "money paid to employees" plays a major role in a company for several reasons. From an accounting perspective, payroll is crucial because payroll and payroll taxes considerably affect the net income of most companies and because they are subject to laws and regulations (e.g. in the US payroll is subject to federal, state, and local regulations). From a human resources viewpoint, the payroll department is critical because employees are sensitive to payroll errors and irregularities: Good employee morale requires payroll to be paid timely and accurately. The primary mission of the payroll department is to ensure that all employees are paid accurately and timely with the correct withholdings and deductions, and that the withholdings and deductions are remitted in a timely manner. This includes salary payments, tax withholdings, and deductions from paychecks. ==Payroll taxes== Government agencies at various levels require employers to withhold income taxes from employees' wages. In the United States, "payroll taxes" are separate from income taxes, although they are levied on employers in proportion to salary; the programs they fund include Social Security, and Medicare. 〔http://taxfoundation.org/article/comparison-tax-burden-labor-oecd〕〔https://squareup.com/townsquare/the-payroll-basics-every-employer-should-know/〕 U.S. income and payroll taxes collected through deductions are considered to be trust fund taxes, because the employer holds the deducted money in trust for later remittance.〔https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Trust-Fund-Recovery-Penalty-(TFRP)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「payroll」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
