# Invoice

### 📌 What Is This Document?

The **Deposit Invoice** is a document issued by AllScale to notify your business of the total amount required to fund payroll for a given cycle. It includes both:

1. **Employee payouts** (i.e. salary disbursements)
2. **Service fees** charged by AllScale for facilitating payroll

This invoice acts as a **pre-payment request**, ensuring that AllScale has the appropriate funds to execute payroll on your behalf.
