# Payroll Summary and Receipt

## 📄 What it is

The **Payroll Summary & Service Receipt** is a consolidated document issued by AllScale after each payroll cycle. While both appear in the same file, they serve **two different purposes**:

* ✅ **Payroll Summary** – a record of all employee payments, including successful and failed transactions
* 💳 **Service Receipt** – an official confirmation that AllScale has collected its service fee

This guide explains both components in detail so you can effectively use the document for internal tracking, financial reporting, and reconciliation.

* ✅ **Successful Payments** – Transactions that were completed and sent to employee wallets
* ❌ **Unsuccessful Payments** – Transactions that failed and were **not** deducted from your account

#### ⚠️ Notes for Managers

* The **total section** includes both successful and unsuccessful payment amounts, helping you reconcile your pre-funded amount.
