# 💡How can a payroll be accurately configured and recorded for a staff member?🤔
### Creating Payrolls and Managing Payouts in Zon Staff Management:
**Zon Staff Management** provides a streamlined process for **managing payroll** and **keeping accurate records** of staff compensation. While automated payments are currently in development, you can efficiently **create, track, and document all payroll activities** within the app.
### Accessing Payroll Details:
1. **Navigate to the Payroll Tab**
* From your **Zon Staff Management** dashboard, select the **Payroll** tab in the left-hand menu.
* Here, you can view a comprehensive overview of **pay packages** for all **staff members,** including **salary, commissions, and payment status.**
### Creating Payouts for Staff Members:
1. **Initiate a New Payout**
* In the **Payroll tab**, locate the **staff member** you wish to **create a payout for.**
* Click on the **Create Payouts** button next to their name.
2. **Review Payment Details**
* The **payout page** will display all relevant **payment details** for the **selected staff member,** such as **total earnings, commissions,** and **any adjustments.**
* **Scroll down** to review the **summary** and ensure all information is accurate.
3. **Select Payment Type and Method**
* Under the **payment section,** choose the **Payment Type** (**e.g., salary, commission, bonus**).
* Select the **Payment Method** (e.g., cash, bank transfer, cheque) to **document** how the payment will be made.
4. **Attach Payment Proof (Optional)**

* **Automated Payments Coming Soon:**\ Our team is actively working on enabling **automated payments within the app.** This feature will be available in a future update, allowing you to process staff payments directly through Zon Staff Management.
