One of the main steps in explaining the payroll system to employees is to ensure all employees that their paychecks will be accurate and paid to them on time. If there are mistakes in an employee's paycheck or if they
do not receive their paychecks within a timely manner, this can cause a employee to become disgruntle and perhaps slack off in their work performance. They may even start to look for another job if this happens quite often. This is why time sheets are developed and they are signed by both the employees and the supervisor. The employees hours must be calculated and done accurately. These time sheets are to reflect the employees hourly rate of pay and the hours worked within the reflected pay period. 

Taxes are a crucial part of the payment process. This can lead to a lot of serious problems if taxes are not deducted properly or if they are not deducted at all. All employees by law must pay taxes. This will include Federal, State or sometimes local taxes depending on the situation. Therefore, the payroll process must include issuing W-2 Forms to all of their employees.

A good employer will explain payroll systems accurately to all of their employees and keep good records by means of a software payroll system.
