Paying Employees The money paid for employee services is called a salary. The period covered by a salary payment is called a pay period. A business may decide to pay employee salaries every week, every two weeks, twice a month, or once a month. Hobby Shack uses a semimonthly pay period. Employees are paid twice a month, on the 15th and last day of each month.

Paying Employees The total amount earned by all employees for a pay period is called a payroll. The payroll is reduced by state and federal taxes and other deductions, such as health insurance, to determine the amount paid to all employees. Special payroll records support the recording of payroll transactions in a journal. The business also uses these records to inform employees of their annual earnings and to prepare payroll reports for the government.
