Admin - What Is the Difference between a Payroll and a Payrun

Last updated: April 23, 2026

A payroll represents a specific month, like April.

A payroll can contain 1 or more payruns. By default you will see 1 payrun per payroll, unless you have added more payruns.

Having multiple payruns is useful if you'd like to separate your team in multiple groups, with their own timeline and settings.
